Eyelid surgery work
- The services page describes blepharoplasty as treating sagging skin around the eyelids to refresh the look and improve vision (source).
- The eyelid lift article states that an eyelid lift is known medically as upper blepharoplasty and is done by removing a small portion of skin from the upper eyelid (eyelid lift article).
- The same article states that about 91 percent of eyelid surgery patients are over 40, that surgery for aging eyelids is usually done after age 40, and that the procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia.
- The site has no separate procedure page for blepharoplasty, lower blepharoplasty, ptosis repair, double eyelid surgery, canthoplasty, brow lift or revision eyelid surgery.
- The before-and-after section holds no eyelid cases.
Other procedures
