Eyelid surgery work
The Baltimore blepharoplasty page states: "Dr. Papel and Dr. Kontis perform blepharoplasty, also known as an eyelid lift, for patients in Baltimore," describing an upper-lid incision in natural creases and a transconjunctival lower-lid approach with no external incision; surgery runs 1-2 hours (source). The Maryland eyelid-surgery page groups her with Drs. Papel, Quan and Gengler as offering blepharoplasty (source). Recovery per the Baltimore page: side effects are worst the day after surgery, most patients return to their routine after a week, and swelling continues to diminish over several weeks.
The blepharoplasty gallery category loaded with before-and-after photographs (source).
Other procedures
Dr. Kontis's bio describes additional work in rhinoplasty, facelifts and dermal fillers, not detailed here.
Insurance and cost
The practice site has no insurance/Medicare statement; the blepharoplasty page links to a separate pricing page rather than stating a price.
