Eyelid surgery work
- Blepharoplasty. The eyelid page states Dr. Calobrace and Dr. Quintero personalize each blepharoplasty. Surgery is performed as an outpatient procedure in the on-site surgical suite, lasts 1 to 2 hours and is usually done under local or IV sedation. It may involve removing or repositioning fat, removing excess skin and altering muscles, with incisions hidden in the natural folds and creases (eyelid surgery).
- The page lists improving the field of vision when sagging upper eyelid skin obstructs it, and combining eyelid surgery with brow lift or facelift.
- Eyelid surgery for men. A separate page describes removing or repositioning excess skin and fat through incisions placed in natural creases while keeping a masculine eye shape (men's eyelid surgery).
- Brow lift. Most brow lifts are performed with an endoscope through a few small scalp incisions; occasionally a full coronal incision is used. The procedure takes 1 to 2 hours under local or IV sedation or general anesthesia (brow lift).
- Galleries. The site has eyelid surgery, male eyelid surgery, brow/forehead lift and male brow lift galleries. One eyelid case describes upper and lower blepharoplasty with brow stabilization and fat transfer to the cheeks. Cases do not name a surgeon (eyelid gallery).
Other procedures
The practice lists facelift, neck lift, rhinoplasty, chin augmentation, ear pinning, lip lift, fat transfer, breast surgery, body contouring, post weight loss procedures and NeoGraft hair transplant, plus CaloSpa injectables and laser treatments (face).
Insurance and cost
- Upper eyelid lift: usually $5,000 to $6,500. Upper and lower eyelid surgery: $8,000 to $10,000 (eyelid surgery).
- Endoscopic brow lift: typically $5,600 to $8,000; brow lift with upper eyelid surgery starts at $10,000 (brow lift).
- The practice offers financing options (financing). The site says nothing about insurance or Medicare coverage for eyelid surgery.

- Men can expect mild swelling or bruising for the first week (men's eyelid surgery).
- Brow lift: return to work within 5 to 10 days; results may last 5 to 10 years.
