Eyelid surgery work
- Upper eyelid surgery. Removes excess skin that builds up with age or genetics; the page states it can improve the field of vision and make the lid feel less heavy (eyelid surgery).
- Lower eyelid surgery. Treats under-eye bags by removing excess fatty tissue and smoothing the skin around the lower lid.
- Surgery is outpatient, under general or local anesthesia, with a sedative available with local anesthesia. Incisions are hidden in the eye's natural folds and closed with sutures removed one week after surgery.
- Eyelid surgery can be combined with facelift, brow lift, BOTOX or dermal fillers.
- Risks listed on the page include bleeding, infection, scarring, dry eyes, asymmetry, temporary numbness, vision changes and ectropion or eyelid malposition.
- Brow lift. The brow lift page lists endoscopic lift, coronal lift and a hairline incision lift, which can also lower a high hairline. A drain is typically placed.
- Gallery. The blepharoplasty gallery shows five before-and-after cases. The site has no brow lift gallery.
Other procedures
Other face procedures on the site include facelift, neck lift, neck and chin liposuction, lip lift and rhinoplasty (including ethnic, male and functional rhinoplasty). The practice also offers breast and body surgery (source).
Insurance and cost
- The site states no insurance or Medicare coverage policy for eyelid surgery.
- The site publishes no prices. The eyelid page says cost depends on whether the upper lids, lower lids or both are treated, and Dr. Ogilvie reviews estimated costs at consultation.
- The practice accepts several payment methods and lists CareCredit financing (patient resources).
Recovery
Per the eyelid surgery page:
- Eyes may be covered with bandages right after surgery; head elevation and cold compresses are advised in the first days.
- Sutures are removed, or checked for dissolving, at a one-week visit.
- Most patients are presentable in public between 10 and 14 days.
- No exercise for the first three to four weeks; gentle walks are allowed.
After a brow lift, swelling and bruising ease in the first ten days, and regular activity resumes three weeks after the procedure (brow lift).
