Eyelid surgery work
- Blepharoplasty. Upper eyelid incisions follow the natural crease; fat may be removed or repositioned and excess skin trimmed. Lower eyelid surgery is performed transcutaneously or, when no skin removal is needed, transconjunctivally on the inside of the lid. Suture removal on the fourth day after surgery. The page also describes double eyelid surgery (Asian blepharoplasty) (source).
- Brow lift. The practice's three facial plastic surgeons (Lieberman, Parikh, Curti) prefer an endoscopic approach through mini-incisions hidden behind the hairline when appropriate. Sutures removed 5-7 days after the procedure (source).
Gallery: the blepharoplasty before-and-after gallery includes a case captioned "Performed by Steven Curti, MD" (female, age 63), plus additional cases attributed to the other two surgeons (source).
Other procedures
The blepharoplasty page cross-references facelift, neck lift, deep neck contouring and rhinoplasty as other facial procedures the practice's surgeons perform.
Insurance and cost
The practice site has no insurance or Medicare statement specific to eyelid surgery. The blepharoplasty page states cost depends on whether the patient has upper, lower, or combined eyelid surgery plus individual factors, with a personalized price estimate given at consultation; no dollar figures are published.
Recovery: blepharoplasty patients return on day 4 for suture removal; brow lift sutures are removed 5-7 days post-op, with recovery lasting one to two weeks and full exercise resumed at three weeks.
