- Board certification: "a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery."
- During residency he trained under microsurgeons Dr. Robert Allen and Dr. Charles Dupin; his craniofacial fellowship was guided by Dr. S. Anthony Wolfe.
- The bio states the fellowship covered facial problems from cancer, trauma and congenital differences, along with facial aesthetic procedures.
Eyelid surgery work
- Dr. Stalder performs upper, lower or combined blepharoplasty under general anesthesia or IV sedation, depending on the case. Surgery lasts up to two hours.
- Upper eyelid. An incision is usually made along the natural crease to remove tissue and fat.
- Lower eyelid. The incision is made along the lash line to remove fatty tissue, and the skin is gently lifted. Laser treatment may be added for discoloration and fillers for volume.
- The page states blepharoplasty is often combined with facelift, brow lift or laser resurfacing, and can improve vision when upper lid skin blocks the visual field.
Brow lift. Done under IV sedation or general anesthesia. The site lists four incision methods: an open (coronal) incision behind the hairline, a trichophytic incision along the hairline, a temporal incision over the temples for the outer brow, and an endoscopic lift through small incisions behind the hairline. Fillers and BOTOX are often combined with it (source).
The practice photo gallery shows breast reconstruction cases only; it has no eyelid or brow lift before-and-after photographs (photos).
Other procedures
The site lists autologous, implant, hybrid, oncoplastic and corrective breast reconstruction with nerve grafting, breast augmentation, lift, reduction and implant removal, tummy tuck, arm and thigh lift, liposuction, mommy makeover, facelift, rhinoplasty, chin augmentation, facial fat transfer, injectables and CO2, IPL and other laser treatments (stalderplasticsurgery.com).
Insurance and cost
The eyelid and brow lift pages make no statement about insurance or Medicare coverage and publish no price.
Recovery
- Eyelid: bruising and swelling for the first day or two, eased with cold compresses; head elevated and no strenuous activity, bending or lifting for several weeks; most patients return to work and daily activities in 7 to 10 days; full recovery can take a few months (blepharoplasty).
- Brow lift: sleep with the head propped up for 3 to 4 nights; average recovery about 2 to 3 weeks, with more swelling after the open technique than the endoscopic or temporal methods (source).
