Eyelid surgery work

Maine Plastic Surgery is a two-surgeon practice (Dr. Hazboun and Dr. Pferdehirt). Its eyelid lift, eyelid lift for men, and brow lift pages are general practice pages that name only Dr. Hazboun as the surgeon who performs the consultation and procedure; Dr. Pferdehirt is not named on any of these pages.

  • Eyelid lift. Describes blepharoplasty for upper and lower lid excess skin and fat; upper lid incision hidden in the natural crease, lower lid addressed by either a sub-lash incision or a transconjunctival (inside-the-lid) incision (source).
  • Eyelid lift for men. Separate page for male blepharoplasty, same upper/lower options (source).
  • Brow lift. States "several types of brow lifts that Dr. Hazboun can perform" (source).

Other procedures

Dr. Pferdehirt's bio describes training across "microsurgical breast reconstruction to aesthetic surgery of the face and body." The practice site separately lists facelift, rhinoplasty, neck lift, chin implant and ear surgery under Face; breast augmentation, lift, reduction and revision; and body procedures including liposuction, tummy tuck and Brazilian butt lift, none attributed to a specific surgeon.

Insurance and cost

The eyelid lift page states the consultation covers "costs, financing and insurance" but prints no specific coverage criteria or dollar figures (source). No eyelid-specific page publishes a price.

Recovery statements on the eyelid lift page: bruising and swelling of the eyelids, with vision possibly obscured for two to three days if upper and lower lids are done together; sutures removed three to five days after surgery; light exercise at one week, more strenuous exercise at two weeks; most bruising gone within 10-14 days. The men's eyelid page adds: most men return to work and social engagements at about 10-14 days, with eye appearance continuing to improve over 1-3 months.
