Eyelid surgery work
The home page lists blepharoplasty in the Face/Neck category with facelift, rhinoplasty and non-surgical treatments. The site has no separate blepharoplasty or brow lift page and describes no eyelid technique.
The facial before-and-after page has Blepharoplasty and Brow Lift sections, each marked "Photo not yet posted," with no patient photographs posted (source).
The home page states every procedure is staffed with a board-certified or board-eligible physician anesthesiologist.
Other procedures
The site offers breast augmentation, lift, reduction and reconstruction; tummy tuck, liposuction, mommy makeover and labiaplasty; gynecomastia correction; body contouring after weight loss, including panniculectomy; EarWell infant ear molding; hand and upper-extremity surgery; and injectables (hurwitzplasticsurgery.com).
Insurance and cost
- The site states all major insurance plans are accepted and benefits are verified before the visit (hurwitzplasticsurgery.com).
- An article on cosmetic and reconstructive coverage states that upper-eyelid skin can sag far enough to block part of the vision. That is a functional problem, "often proven with a formal vision-field test." The same surgery done to look refreshed is not functional (source).
- The same article states a covered operation and a cosmetic one can often be done in the same session, with insurance billed for the covered part and the patient paying for the cosmetic part.
- Consultations are complimentary, in person or by telehealth. The site publishes no eyelid surgery prices.
