Eyelid surgery work
Procedure text describes the practice's service generally, not Dr. Woodman individually.
- Eyelid lift (blepharoplasty). Upper eyelid lifts, lower eyelid surgery, or combined upper and lower lifts; tiny incisions, removal of excess tissue, tightening of remaining tissue, and closure. Procedure takes up to two hours with same-day discharge. A nonsurgical CO2-laser eyelid-tightening alternative is also offered (source).
- Brow lift. Endoscopic technique described as minimally invasive with faster recovery; small hairline incisions with a camera-equipped tube used to lift and tighten the brow and forehead; incisions may be placed below the hairline for patients with high or receding hairlines (source).
Other procedures
Facelift, deep plane facelift, male facelift, neck lift, laser resurfacing and rhinoplasty are offered by the practice (aestheticcentre.org).
Insurance and cost
"Your insurance coverage may pay for a portion of your surgery if your eyelids diminish your line of vision" (source). No procedure prices are published.
Recovery
- Eyelid lift. "Ice the treatment area to reduce swelling and bruising, and avoid strenuous activities until given the OK" (same page).
- Brow lift. Sutures removed roughly one week after the procedure; bruising and swelling may last up to two weeks; average recovery is two to three weeks; results can last up to 10 years (source).
