Eyelid surgery work
The eyelid surgery page describes a procedure that "repositions or removes fat deposits, tightens muscles, and tissues, and removes excess skin," lasting approximately 2 hours. Eyelid surgery is noted as often performed with brow lift "to fully rejuvenate the upper facial region," though the practice site has no dedicated brow lift page. The before-and-after gallery shows 8 documented eyelid surgery cases with before and after front-view photos.
Other procedures
The practice offers face, breast, body and non-surgical services; no eyelid-specific procedures beyond blepharoplasty (ptosis repair, canthoplasty, double eyelid surgery) appear on the site.
Insurance and cost
The site does not address insurance or Medicare coverage. Eyelid surgery cost "is determined by your individual needs," with an estimate given at consultation; Cherry Payment Plans and CareCredit financing are offered.
