Eyelid surgery work
- Upper blepharoplasty. The page describes removal of excess skin and fat from the upper eyelids. It can be done in the office under oral sedation plus local anesthesia, or in the operating room under IV sedation or general anesthesia. Some patients are better served by adding or substituting a brow lift, assessed from clinical photos at consultation (upper blepharoplasty).
- The page states Dr. Mobley performed approximately 45 blepharoplasties in the prior year.
- Lower blepharoplasty. The page describes a custom plan built from several steps: fat transfer to the orbital rim hollow where the lower eye meets the cheek; removal of fat bags through a small incision inside the pink of the lower eyelid, or through a fine incision just under the lower lashes; and treatment of lower lid skin by chemical peel, laser, or skin removal under the lashes (lower blepharoplasty).
- Brow lift. Dr. Mobley states he most commonly performs an endoscopic forehead lift through five small incisions in the scalp, with other options for men with thinning hair (brow lift).
- Galleries: the upper blepharoplasty page shows 23 before-and-after case tiles, the lower blepharoplasty page 13, and the brow lift page 8.
