Eyelid surgery work
- Blepharoplasty. The page describes upper eyelid lift for excess skin and a tired appearance, and lower eyelid tightening for under-eye bags; performed under local anesthetic in the practice's own surgical suite, with an incision in the natural eyelid crease (source). The page notes upper eyelid surgery may be medically necessary and covered by insurance if a visual field study meets certain criteria.
- Brow lift. Described as correcting aging changes in the forehead and upper eyelid region; performed in the practice's on-site surgical suite, typically under local anesthesia with intravenous sedation (browlift).
The practice site has no eyelid or brow before-and-after gallery. The site's photo-gallery page has a "FACE" tab, but the images there are generic stock photography, not patient before-and-afters (source).
Other procedures
The site also lists body, breast, men's and reconstructive procedures and non-surgical treatments, including breast reconstruction after mastectomy (source).
Insurance and cost
The site states upper eyelid surgery is sometimes considered medically necessary and may be covered by insurance if certain criteria are met, determined by a visual field study test (source). No prices are published.
