Eyelid surgery work
The eyelid surgery page describes upper eyelid surgery that lifts sagging skin impairing sight or causing discomfort, and lower eyelid surgery addressing puffiness or volume loss. For upper lids, incisions sit in the natural crease; for lower lids, incisions are placed just below the lash line or inside the eyelid to remove or reposition fat and tighten skin. The procedure typically takes one to two hours under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia (source).
Other procedures
The site's Face menu also covers ear surgery, facelift, facial implants and fat transfer, neck lift and rhinoplasty; Body covers body contouring, liposuction and tummy tuck; Breast covers augmentation, lift and reduction; the practice also offers gynecomastia surgery, gender-affirming surgery, Botox and injectable fillers (site navigation).
Insurance and cost
The eyelid surgery page states that if the procedure improves vision, insurance may cover a portion of the cost, and the office reviews fees in advance and offers financing. No specific eyelid surgery prices are published.
Recovery, per the same page: swelling, bruising, tightness and light sensitivity are common the first few days and improve with rest and cold compresses; stitches are usually removed after five to seven days; many patients return to normal activities within one week; final results become clearer over several weeks.
