Eyelid surgery work
The practice's blepharoplasty guide describes upper eyelid surgery (incision-based removal of skin and fat, with a stitch used to create an eyelid crease) and lower eyelid surgery by two methods: a "Transcutaneous method" (incision below the eyelashes) and a "Transconjunctival incision" (inside the lower lid, used when there is no excess skin to remove) (blepharoplasty guide). The page also names canthopexy (tightening the eye ligaments) and canthoplasty (surgery at the corner of the eye) as alternatives, and describes ptosis as drooping of the upper eyelid toward the pupil.
Other procedures
The site lists rhinoplasty (including male and female rhinoplasty), septoplasty, earlobe repair, facelift, genioplasty (chin augmentation), otoplasty, neck lift, breast surgery (augmentation, lift, reduction, implant removal, capsular contracture treatment), body surgery (arm lift, body lift, BBL, liposuction, thigh lift, tummy tuck), and non-surgical facial balancing, injectables and fillers (site menu).
Insurance and cost
The blepharoplasty page states: "We typically work with these insurance providers": Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, Aetna, CIGNA, Blue Cross, UnitedHealthcare, and Mass General Brigham Health Plan. It also states insurance may cover upper eyelid surgery only where vision is documented as obstructed. Cost figures on the page are cited as third-party national averages, not the practice's own published price, so none are recorded here.
