Eyelid surgery work
- Upper blepharoplasty. A combination of excess skin and fat is removed (source).
- Lower blepharoplasty. Mainly fat and a small amount of excess skin are removed to treat under-eye bags.
- Brow and forehead. The page states that when the upper lid is affected by a drooping forehead and brows, a forehead or brow lift is needed, and that eyelid surgery does not raise a droopy brow or treat crow's feet.
- Setting. Performed under local anesthesia with or without sedation as an outpatient procedure; patients go home a few hours after surgery. It may be combined with skin care, a chemical peel or skin resurfacing.
- Brow lift. An incision at the hairline, which can also lower a high hairline, or a shorter-scar approach. Botox and fillers such as Restylane or Juvederm are offered as nonsurgical options for forehead lines (source).
- Gallery. The blepharoplasty gallery runs across three pages of before-and-after cases (source).
Other procedures
The site lists facelift, neck lift, rhinoplasty, forehead reduction, FaceTite and AccuTite, laser skin resurfacing, facial contouring and lip augmentation, plus breast and body surgery and med spa treatments.
Insurance and cost
The site publishes no eyelid surgery prices and no insurance or Medicare statement for eyelid surgery. The financing page states that pricing requires a personal consultation and lists Cherry, CareCredit and PatientFi financing (financing).
