Eyelid surgery work
- Upper blepharoplasty. Lid-crease incision; performed office-based under local anesthesia or at an accredited outpatient surgery center under IV sedation (source).
- Lower blepharoplasty. Transconjunctival approach for fat pockets alone, or subciliary incision when skin also needs removal; uses fat repositioning and, in some cases, autologous fat transfer to avoid a hollowed look; a skin pinch technique is used for mild to moderate skin excess; laser resurfacing or a chemical peel may be added (source).
- Ptosis repair. Treats unilateral or bilateral ptosis by reattaching stretched levator muscle, shortening a congenitally underdeveloped levator, or, when the levator does not function, a sling technique that uses the forehead to elevate the eyelid (source).
- Brow lift. Endoscopic technique; about 2 hours under MAC sedation and local anesthesia (source).
- Canthoplasty. Reshapes and reinforces the lateral canthus, alone or combined with blepharoplasty, to tighten and support the lower eyelid (canthoplasty).
- Blepharoplasty revision and ptosis revision. For asymmetry, scarring, overcorrection or functional problems from prior surgery; techniques include repositioning or removing skin/fat/tissue, re-tightening or repositioning the levator, and internal sutures for added lift (source, source).
- Entropion and ectropion repair. Lateral tarsal strip procedure, everting sutures, or removal of a small section of eyelid, through an outer-corner incision (source).
