Eyelid surgery work

  • Upper blepharoplasty. Incision placed within the natural crease of the upper eyelid; excess skin removed, with the incision becoming less noticeable as it heals in the fold (source).
  • Lower blepharoplasty. Fat removed or repositioned and/or excess skin trimmed; incision placed inside the lower eyelid or just beneath the lash line (source).
  • The combined eyelid surgery page states upper-eyelid-only procedures can often be done in-office under local anesthesia in about two hours; patients read again in two to three days and return to work and strenuous activity within two weeks; full results take about one month (source).
  • A separate male eyelid surgery page is offered under "Male Aesthetic Procedures."
  • No standalone ptosis-repair procedure page exists, but the eyelid-ptosis gallery's case captions ("left eyelid ptosis repair," "right eyelid ptosis repair, and bilateral upper lid blepharoplasty") confirm he performs ptosis repair.
