Eyelid surgery work
The practice's eyelid surgery page (source) describes, for its surgeons generally:
- Upper eyelid surgery. Incision within the natural lid fold, extending slightly beyond the outer corner of the eye, to remove excess skin and fatty tissue.
- Lower eyelid surgery. Incision just below the lower lashes, or on the inside of the lower lid, to remove excess skin and fat or redistribute fat.
- Fat pad transposition and structural fat grafting are listed among eyelid procedure options.
- The page notes eyelid surgery can be combined with a brow lift or facelift, and performed under local or general anesthesia at the practice's own accredited Surgery Center.
The eyelid surgery gallery (source) shows two before-and-after cases: an upper lid blepharoplasty on a 70-year-old patient (photos 3 months post-surgery) and a lower lid blepharoplasty with fat grafting to the tear troughs on a 55-year-old patient (photos 9 months post-surgery). Cases are not attributed to an individual surgeon.
Other procedures
The practice also offers facelift, facial fat grafting, nose surgery, breast surgery, body contouring, injectables, NeoGraft hair restoration and hand surgery; these are practice-wide offerings, not detailed here.
Insurance and cost
The site states no insurance or price information specific to eyelid surgery.
Recovery, per the eyelid surgery page: swelling may take one to several weeks to resolve completely; bruising usually lasts one to two weeks; stitches come out within a week; patients return to work and normal activities in a week to ten days; most everyday activity, including sports, resumes at 4-6 weeks; incision lines fade and become barely visible over several months.
