Eyelid surgery work
The eyelid surgery page describes three procedures (source):
- Upper blepharoplasty. Incision in the natural upper-eyelid crease to remove excess skin and fat, described as healing to a well-hidden scar.
- Ptosis repair. Uses the same incision as blepharoplasty to restore the levator muscle's connection to the tarsus for a drooping eyelid.
- Lower blepharoplasty. Removes or repositions excess skin and fat from the lower eyelids, with an incision inside and/or outside the eyelid depending on the case.
The eyelid surgery before-and-after gallery shows patient cases with before/after image pairs (source).
Other procedures
The site also lists breast augmentation, lift, implant removal and reduction; body procedures including tummy tuck, liposuction, mommy makeover and labiaplasty; other facial procedures including deep plane facelift, neck lift, brow lift and chin liposuction; and med spa services (Botox, dermal injectables, Morpheus8, PRP hair restoration, laser hair removal) (procedures).
Insurance and cost
The eyelid surgery page states: "Blepharoplasty typically ranges from $3,000 to $6,000. Top ... plastic surgeons like Dr. Rachel Mason may charge more." No insurance or Medicare statement specific to eyelid surgery appears on the page.
Recovery
The eyelid surgery page states patients "will be quite bruised and swollen for 1-2 weeks after surgery" and may need eye drops to keep eyes moist; initial healing can include swelling, bruising, dryness and discomfort, managed with medication, cold compresses and ointment.
