Eyelid surgery work
- Blepharoplasty. The page defines blepharoplasty as removal of excess skin and fat from the upper and lower lids. Incisions are hidden in the natural folds of the eyes, and laser resurfacing is often added. The page also names brow repositioning, skin tightening and fillers for the eye area (source).
- Brow lift. Elevates brows that sag over the eyelids. The surgeon chooses among several incision locations, and the procedure is often combined with upper eyelid skin excision. It is commonly done under sedation and local anesthesia, or general anesthesia (source).
The procedure pages do not name an individual surgeon. The practice's LookBook gallery requires age verification before photographs are shown (lookbook). The site has no page for ptosis repair, double eyelid surgery, canthoplasty or revision eyelid surgery.
Other procedures
The site lists facelift and necklift, rhinoplasty, ear surgery, scar revision, breast augmentation, lift, reduction and reconstruction, liposuction, tummy tuck, body, arm and thigh lifts, and male chest surgery. Premier Aesthetics, the practice's non-surgical office, offers skincare, lasers, Botox and fillers (source).
Insurance and cost
- "In some cases, insurance coverage is available for this procedure," when eyelid skin obstructs vision (source).
- The site publishes no eyelid surgery prices. The patient information page states the practice uses board certified MD anesthesiologists and accredited facilities, and lists American HealthCare Lending financing (source).
