Eyelid surgery work
- Blepharoplasty. The practice's procedure page describes removing excess skin and fatty tissue from the upper and lower eyelids to reduce wrinkled folds on the upper lids and bags under the eyes. Fatty tissue can also be recontoured in the lower eyelid to help fill the tear trough groove rather than removed outright (source). The page notes expression wrinkles like crow's feet are not addressed by blepharoplasty alone, but can be treated with CO2 laser or Botox.
- This procedure page is practice-wide and does not name Dr. Yates individually; he is one of three named partners.
