Eyelid surgery work
The eyelid page (source) states that surgery can be done on the upper lids, the lower lids or both, under local or general anesthesia. It takes one to two hours as an outpatient procedure.
- Upper eyelid surgery. The incision lies along the lid crease; excess skin is removed, and fat can be removed to correct upper lid fullness.
- Lower eyelid options, chosen by the cause of the problem:
- Fat removal through an incision on the inside of the lower eyelid.
- Laser eyelid lift, using laser energy to tighten lower lid skin and muscle.
- Skin removal through a small lash-line incision for severe skin excess.
- Lateral canthopexy to tighten a lax lower eyelid.
- Midface fat grafting when the lower lid droop comes with cheek volume loss.
Brow lift. The brow lift page (source) lists coronal, hairline, lateral (endo-temporal) and endoscopic techniques. The choice depends on hairline position, brow asymmetry and the degree of correction needed. Surgery takes about 2 hours under general anesthesia at his QUAD A-accredited surgery center. The page also describes a combined brow and midface lift. The midface lift page states its incisions are placed behind the hairline, in the upper eyelid crease and inside the mouth (source).
Galleries: the eyelid gallery shows 5 cases (gallery eyelid-lift). They include lower blepharoplasty alone, upper and lower blepharoplasty in a man, and two women in their mid 60s treated with facelift plus blepharoplasty, one with lower lid laser resurfacing and one with facial fat grafting. The brow lift gallery shows 2 cases (gallery brow-lift).
Other procedures
Face procedures on the site also include facelift, neck lift, neck liposuction, buccal fat pad removal, chin augmentation, ear surgery, lip lift and facial fat grafting. The site also lists breast and body surgery and nonsurgical injectables, lasers and skin treatments (source).
Insurance and cost
The eyelid page states blepharoplasty costs vary with the type of operation, and cost estimates are given at the initial consultation. The practice accepts several payment methods, including no-interest financing. The site publishes no eyelid surgery price and makes no statement about insurance or Medicare coverage (source).
Recovery
- Plan for one week to recover and rest at home after this outpatient surgery.
- Cold compresses help reduce discomfort, swelling and bruising.
- Eyelid surgery results may last a decade or longer.
- For brow lift, the brow lift page states a typical recovery of 2 to 3 weeks, with follow-up visits at week 2, week 6 and months 3, 6 and 12.
