Eyelid surgery work
- Blepharoplasty. The page describes removing or repositioning excess skin, fat and tissue of the upper or lower eyelids for drooping upper lids, under-eye bags or loose skin. It notes that excess upper lid skin can affect peripheral vision and make reading or driving harder, and that the consultation evaluates both appearance and function (source).
- The page does not name a specific incision or technique.
- Brow lift. Described as raising the eyebrows and softening horizontal forehead lines and frown lines. Depending on technique, the procedure may reposition underlying tissue, remove a small amount of skin, or use small incisions hidden in the hairline. The page notes a low brow can add to upper eyelid heaviness (source).
Gallery: the blepharoplasty gallery shows nine pre-operative and post-operative image sets (source). The case gallery has no brow lift section.
Other procedures
The site also lists facelift, breast augmentation, breast lift, tummy tuck, liposuction and gynecomastia surgery; dermatology services including skin cancer screening and PRP hair restoration; and med spa treatments: Botox, fillers, laser hair removal, laser resurfacing and microneedling (source).
Insurance and cost

Recovery
- After blepharoplasty, temporary swelling, bruising and mild discomfort are common, with gradual improvement over the following weeks (source).
