Eyelid surgery work

  • Upper blepharoplasty. The page describes it as "a cosmetic surgery procedure to lift the upper eyelid and remove excess skin for a refreshed and youthful appearance," performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia, usually taking one hour, with the incision placed in the eyelid crease (source).
  • The FAQ states Dr. Prince "specializes in upper blepharoplasty" and that patients whose primary concern is lower-eyelid bags, dark circles or wrinkles are referred to "a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who specializes in lower eyelid surgery." No lower blepharoplasty, ptosis, double-eyelid or canthoplasty page is on the site.
  • Candidates with drooping eyebrows may be advised a brow lift or forehead lift instead/in addition, though the practice site has no dedicated brow lift page.

Other procedures

The practice's broader scope, per site navigation, covers breast surgery (augmentation, lift, reduction, revision, gender-affirming top surgery), body procedures (liposuction, tummy tuck, mommy makeover, labiaplasty, arm/thigh lift), and non-surgical facial treatments (Botox, dermal fillers, tear trough filler, SKINVIVE, laser resurfacing). Dr. Prince's bio states particular interest in breast cancer reconstruction patients.

Insurance and cost

The eyelid surgery FAQ states cost "is unique to each patient" and a price quote is created once a treatment plan is set, with financing options discussed at that time. The practice site has no specific price or insurance/Medicare coverage statement for eyelid surgery.
