Eyelid surgery work
- Upper eyelid surgery. Excess skin and fat are removed through an incision in the natural crease. When brow descent adds to the hooding, the page pairs the operation with a brow lift (source).
- Lower eyelid surgery. Performed through an incision inside the eyelid; patients with extra skin laxity get a small incision just below the lash line.
- Added techniques. Fat grafting restores volume around the eye, brow and forehead, and the page calls it "often a big part of eyelid rejuvenation in the older population." Laser skin resurfacing tightens skin around the eyes.
- Surgery day. The face page states general anesthesia given by a board-certified anesthesiologist. The male eyelid page states local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the patient (source).
- Male eyelid surgery. A separate page describes adjusting technique for the heavier male eyelid to keep a masculine appearance. Its glossary defines canthopexy and double eyelid surgery; the site has no procedure page for either.
- Galleries. The site's face gallery shows rhinoplasty, facelift, buccal fat removal and submentoplasty cases. It has no eyelid or brow lift category (source).
Other procedures
The brow lift page describes endoscopic brow lifts through small incisions in the hair, plus coronal and temporal brow lifts, and a technique that moves the hairline forward while lifting the brow (source). The site also lists facelift, deep plane facelift, neck lift, rhinoplasty, cheek and chin implants, breast, body, post-weight-loss and gender-confirming surgery, and med spa services.
Insurance and cost
- FAQ: "cosmetic surgery is not covered by insurance"; the practice partners with Cherry, Alpheon Credit and CareCredit for financing (source).
- The eyelid page publishes no price; it states cost depends on the procedure and a quote follows consultation.
Recovery
- Normal, non-strenuous activities: within 5-7 days (source).
- Swelling and bruising: typically resolve in 1-2 weeks (source).
- Final result: visible within a few months.
- Brow lift: pain eases after about a week; desk work after a couple of weeks; public appearances after 3 to 4 weeks, per Dr. Pancholi's video transcript (source).
