Eyelid surgery work

  • Upper blepharoplasty. Removes excess skin and small fat pockets through a hidden eyelid-crease incision; the site says the technique uses laser fat sculpting and repositioning at the lid-cheek border and upward-curving incisions to lift corner hooding, aiming to avoid a "hollow eye look" (blepharoplasty).
  • Lower blepharoplasty. Performed through a transconjunctival approach (no external scar) to remove or reposition fat and tighten support tissue.
  • Ethnic blepharoplasty. Incision placement, lid-crease height, and fat management customized to preserve cultural eyelid features.
  • Revision blepharoplasty. Corrects asymmetry, scarring, or functional problems from prior eyelid surgery using imaging and microsurgical technique.
  • Brow lift. A separate eyebrow lift page is offered (browlift); the site states brow lift can reposition sagging brows and sometimes avoid the need for upper eyelid surgery.

The eyelid surgery page states the procedure is usually performed in about 45 minutes under general anesthesia or sedation with local anesthesia, and can be combined with facelift or neck lift.
