Eyelid surgery work
- Blepharoplasty. The page describes trimming and repositioning tissue of the upper and lower eyelids, done alone or together. It is an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia or IV sedation, lasting from less than an hour to about three hours (blepharoplasty).
- Upper eyelid. Dr. Hagan makes an incision along the eyelid fold to trim excess tissue. The page states upper blepharoplasty can often restore a full field of vision for patients whose sagging lids impair peripheral sight.
- Lower eyelid. The incision is in the natural crease just below the lower lash line or inside the eyelid; skin, muscle and fat are removed and repositioned.
- Combined procedures. Blepharoplasty can be combined with a brow lift, rhinoplasty, facelift or fat grafting, per the same page.
Gallery: the blepharoplasty gallery shows two patient cases, Patient 01 and Patient 02, with before and after views (source).
The site has no page for brow lift, ptosis repair, double eyelid surgery, canthoplasty or revision eyelid surgery.
Other procedures
The site lists facelift and neck lift (SMAS and deep plane), rhinoplasty, fat grafting, breast augmentation, breast lift, tummy tuck, liposuction, mommy makeover, Brazilian butt lift, gynecomastia reduction and medspa services (drmatthewhagan.com). The gallery also covers neck liposuction, brachioplasty, thighplasty and breast reduction.
Insurance and cost
The blepharoplasty FAQ states: "Insurance may potentially cover excess skin that blocks your field of vision." The site publishes no prices (blepharoplasty).
Recovery
- Right after surgery, blurred or double vision, light sensitivity, swelling, bruising or discomfort are described as temporary and normal.
- Aftercare: ice packs for 10 minutes each hour, sleeping with the head elevated, dark sunglasses, acetaminophen and prescribed medications.
- Bruising and swelling: most subside within two weeks, though it may take months depending on the procedure.
- Scars and swelling: several months for incision scars to heal fully and swelling to resolve completely. Sun protection helps scars fade.
