Eyelid surgery work

The practice's eyelid-surgery page (shared across its surgeons) describes upper and lower eyelid lifts performed under local anesthesia with sedation, with incisions placed in the natural contours of the eyelid; tissue is removed or repositioned and incisions closed with sutures (eyelid surgery). The page notes a forehead/brow lift may be added for crow's feet or brow concerns, and the practice separately lists a brow lift page (brow lift).

The practice's photo gallery for Blepharoplasty (Eyelid) shows individual before/after cases labeled by surgeon; several are labeled "Surgeon: Dr. Young," covering upper blepharoplasty (source). No separate gallery category exists for brow lift on the site.

Other procedures

The practice offers facelift, neck lift, rhinoplasty, otoplasty, lip lift, chin and cheek implants, body contouring (tummy tuck, liposuction, BBL, arm and thigh lift), breast surgery (augmentation, lift, reduction, reconstruction), labiaplasty, medical dermatology, and a med spa menu of injectables, peels, facials and laser treatments (source). Young's bio states she has focused on breast surgery, from augmentation and lifts to reduction and reconstruction.

Insurance and cost

Neither the practice's page nor the bio page states a Medicare or insurance position for eyelid surgery. The eyelid page states cost depends on whether upper, lower, or both eyelids are treated and that a detailed quote is given at consultation; financing options are offered. No specific price is published.
