Eyelid surgery work
Dr. Mandelbaum's procedure list includes eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) and brow lift (source). The practice's eyelid pages describe the methods by name of Dr. O'Daniel:
- Upper blepharoplasty. Fat and skin removed through small incisions, with muscle tightening and closure within the eyelid crease. Fat pads below the orbital septum can be removed or moved to other areas around the eye. Procedure time is one to three hours (source).
- Corrugator muscle removal. During upper eyelid surgery, the corrugator muscles that cause central forehead frown lines are routinely removed and fat is injected into the vertical crease.
- Lower blepharoplasty. Muscle tightening and removal of skin and fat below the lash line or inside the eyelid, sometimes combined with laser resurfacing of the lid skin.
- Revision eyelid surgery. Re-suspension of the eyelid, or added volume with Restylane or fat, for eyes left hollow or sunken after earlier surgery (source).
- Brow lift. Endoscopic forehead lift to smooth the forehead and raise the tail of the brow (source).
Each eyelid and brow lift case on the site credits Dr. O'Daniel. The site has no gallery of Dr. Mandelbaum's eyelid cases.
Other procedures
Breast augmentation, breast lift, breast reduction, breast revision, tummy tuck, body lift, arm and thigh lift, liposuction, Brazilian butt lift, gynecomastia surgery, facelift and neck lift, submental liposuction, otoplasty and chin implant (source). The practice also runs a skin spa with injectables and lasers.
Insurance and cost
- "We do not accept insurance; all services are available on a pre-pay basis only" (insurance).
- The contact page states the practice does not accept or bill any form of health insurance (source).
- Financing is listed on a separate page (financing). The site publishes no eyelid surgery prices.
Recovery
- After eyelid surgery: avoid heavy lifting or strain for several days; wear glasses instead of contact lenses for several weeks; keep the head elevated while sleeping (source).
- Full results may take up to a year.
- Traveling patients should plan to stay in Louisville for up to 10 days after surgery, covering check-ins and suture removal (source).
