Eyelid surgery work
- Upper blepharoplasty. The page describes a small incision in the crease above the eye, with muscle tightening, fat redistribution and skin removal done through it. Available with local anesthetic or general anesthesia (blepharoplasty).
- Lower blepharoplasty. A small incision is made below the lower eyelash line; skin, muscle and fat can be removed, tightened or redistributed. Requires anesthesia (general).
- Combined upper and lower blepharoplasty. The site states this can be performed in the same session.
- Brow lift. The site describes two techniques: endoscopic brow lift, using a small camera through incisions hidden in the hairline, and a traditional coronal (open) lift, with a continuous incision from ear to ear along the hairline (source). A case example combined blepharoplasty with an endoscopic brow lift for a 48-year-old patient.
Other procedures
The site lists facelift, breast surgery (augmentation, lift, reduction, reconstruction), body contouring (liposuction, tummy tuck, Brazilian butt lift), gynecomastia, and non-surgical treatments including Botox, injectables and CoolSculpting (source).
