Eyelid surgery work
The eyelid surgery page describes upper eyelid surgery (removing excess fat or skin, relieving eye strain, potentially improving obstructed peripheral vision) and lower eyelid surgery (reducing bags and puffiness by removing or redistributing fat and excess skin) (source). For upper blepharoplasty, an incision is made along the eyelid fold; for lower blepharoplasty, the incision is made just below the lash line or inside the lower lid. When both are done, the page states the upper eyelids are usually done first.
Other procedures
The site lists rhinoplasty (including revision, ethnic, male, female and piezo rhinoplasty, alarplasty, non-surgical rhinoplasty), facelift, neck lift, lip lift, chin augmentation, buccal fat reduction, ear surgery, earlobe repair, submental liposuction and non-surgical treatments such as BOTOX, Jeuveau, Dysport and laser skin resurfacing (site menu).
Insurance and cost
The site states upper eyelid surgery can be covered by insurance in some cases where excess skin and fat restrict vision; lower eyelid surgery and purely cosmetic upper eyelid surgery are not covered (source). The average cost of eyelid surgery is stated as $6,000-$15,400, not including anesthesia fees, varying by whether upper, lower or both eyelids are treated.
