Eyelid surgery work
- Upper blepharoplasty. Small incision in the natural eyelid crease; fat repositioned or removed and excess skin trimmed before closing with fine sutures (source).
- Lower blepharoplasty. Incision just below the lash line or inside the eyelid; fat smoothed or repositioned, with skin tightening in some cases to improve contour (source).
- Brow lift. Dr. Mofid primarily performs the endoscopic brow lift: small incisions hidden in the hairline, with absorbable Endotine fixation devices holding tissue in its new position; procedure takes about 1.5-2 hours (source).
- An eyelid-surgery articles section links a piece titled "A Novel Technique for Repositioning Lower Eyelid Fat" (source).

Insurance and cost
No insurance or Medicare coverage statements for eyelid surgery are published. The practice's page states pricing depends on the approach and any combined procedures, with a full estimate given at consultation; no eyelid-surgery prices are published.
Recovery (eyelid surgery): days 1-3, swelling and bruising peak; by day 7, stitches are removed and most patients return to work; weeks 2-3, bruising fades; 6-12 weeks, scars soften and makeup/contacts can resume (source).
