Eyelid surgery work

- Upper eyelid surgery. Incision within the natural fold of the lid, extending slightly beyond the outer corner; removes excess skin and fatty tissue (source).
- Lower eyelid surgery. Incision just below the lower lashes, or on the inside of the lower lid; removes or redistributes fat to eliminate puffiness (source).
- Fat pad transposition and structural fat grafting are offered as eyelid procedure options (source).
- Can be combined with laser skin resurfacing, a brow lift or a facelift (source).
Other procedures
The practice offers rhinoplasty, facelift, breast augmentation/lift/reduction, transgender top surgery, tummy tuck, liposuction, mommy makeover, labiaplasty, injectables and NeoGraft hair restoration (plasticandhand.com).
Insurance and cost
The eyelid surgery page states a cost estimate specific to the procedure is prepared after consultation, including pre- and post-op visits, anesthesia and use of the surgery facility; no specific prices are published (source).
