Eyelid surgery work
Standard blepharoplasty. The eyelid surgery page describes an incision tracing the natural upper lid fold and extending slightly beyond the outer corner, with sagging skin and, for puffy upper lids, a small amount of fat removed; for the lower lid, excess fat can be removed through an inside-the-lid incision, or skin removed along the natural crease below the eye for those with excess lower lid skin (source).
Asian double eyelid surgery. A separate page describes creating a new eyelid crease or enhancing an existing one for patients of Asian descent, distinct from standard blepharoplasty; most patients are described as younger (teens to early thirties), while older patients seeking rejuvenation get a procedure closer to standard blepharoplasty (source).
- Eyelid Surgery before and after: 53 cases listed, including upper-only and combined upper-and-lower cases (source).
- Asian Double Eyelid before and after: 69 cases listed (source).

Insurance and cost
