Training and board certification

Miller earned his MD from the University of California, Davis School of Medicine, completed a five-year surgical residency in otolaryngology-head and neck surgery, and trained through the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery fellowship program (https://www.lookrefreshed.com/about/meet-dr-miller/). He is certified by the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and the American Board of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (same source).

Eyelid surgery work

The eyelid surgery page describes upper blepharoplasty (removing excess upper-lid skin), lower blepharoplasty (reducing puffiness and tightening loose skin) and a combined procedure. Lower-lid work uses a transconjunctival, internal-incision approach with fat repositioning rather than removal; the site states Miller does not cut the eye muscle (https://www.lookrefreshed.com/facial-plastic-surgery/eyelid-surgery/). Ptosis repair uses an inside-the-eyelid technique that leaves no visible scar, performed under local anesthesia with twilight sedation, with recovery generally 7 to 10 days; it can be combined with under-eye bag correction in the same session (https://www.lookrefreshed.com/facial-plastic-surgery/ptosis-surgery/). The blepharoplasty gallery (https://www.lookrefreshed.com/gallery/aesthetic-surgery/blepharoplasty/) and ptosis gallery, which shows three patient cases (https://www.lookrefreshed.com/gallery/aesthetic-surgery/ptosis-treatment/), both display before-and-after photos.

Other procedures

Brow lift options include a brow/temple lift that elevates the outer brow, a full brow lift adding inner-brow elevation for heavier or more lowered brows, and foreheadplasty to smooth the forehead and reduce overactive muscle activity (https://www.lookrefreshed.com/facial-plastic-surgery/brow-lift/). The brow lift gallery shows four patient cases (https://www.lookrefreshed.com/gallery/aesthetic-surgery/brow-lift/). The practice also offers facelift, neck lift, rhinoplasty, ear surgery, facial implants and fat transfer.

Insurance and cost

The eyelid surgery page states cost typically starts from $4,750 to $10,690, with a personalized quote given at consultation (https://www.lookrefreshed.com/facial-plastic-surgery/eyelid-surgery/). No pricing is published for ptosis repair or brow lift. The practice site has no insurance or Medicare statements.
