  • Double board-certified plastic surgeon focused on oculofacial plastic and reconstructive surgery, as the site states it; the specific two boards are not separately named.
  • Practices in the Eastern Idaho, Northern Utah, Wyoming and Montana region, per the site.

Eyelid surgery work

  • Upper blepharoplasty. Removes excess upper eyelid skin. The page states Medicare-style insurance coverage applies when the skin rests on the eyelashes and blocks vision above and to the sides. Average bruising and swelling of 10 to 14 days, shortened with post-operative "Lid Lift Goggles" (compression for the first 2 nights and 3 days). The page states results last on average 40 years (upper-eyelid-blepharoplasty).
  • Lower blepharoplasty. Removes or repositions fat causing lower-lid "bags"; excess skin can be removed surgically or treated with laser; a hollow tear trough can be treated with dermal filler instead of surgery. Usually considered cosmetic and not insurance-covered. Bruising and swelling typically resolve in 10 to 14 days, with a small amount of swelling lasting up to six weeks (lower-eyelid-blepharoplasty).
  • Male blepharoplasty. Upper and lower lid surgery adapted for male patients, including evaluation of low-set brows and, when indicated, a separate ptosis repair for weak eyelid-opening muscle (male-blepharoplasty).
  • Brow lift. Non-surgical options (dermal filler, energy-based skin-tightening devices) and surgical brow-lift techniques are described generally, without naming a specific surgical approach; insurance may cover surgery when brow ptosis blocks vision (brow-lift).
  • Ptosis repair. Three surgical techniques described: an anterior approach with the incision hidden in the upper-lid crease; a posterior approach from the back of the eyelid with no visible scar; and, for severe ptosis, a technique using the forehead muscles to lift the eyelid. Upneeq eyedrops are offered as a temporary non-surgical option. Insurance generally covers surgery when the eyelid covers the top of the pupil and impairs vision (ptosis).
  • Revision blepharoplasty. Corrects unsatisfactory results of a prior eyelid surgery; the site says timing for a revision depends on recovery from the earlier procedure (revision-blepharoplasty).
  • Also offered: ectropion repair, entropion repair, eyelid skin cancer surgery, and treatment of eyelid lumps and bumps.

Galleries (all returned HTTP 200 on 2026-09-30) include female and male upper/lower blepharoplasty, brow lift, ptosis repair, Asian upper eyelid blepharoplasty, ectropion repair, and eyelid skin cancer surgery before-and-after sets (gallery index).

Other procedures

Reconstructive: enucleation, excessive tearing treatment, facial paralysis, trichiasis, orbital/eye socket surgery, orbital decompression, orbital fracture surgery, orbital tumor surgery. Non-surgical: acne scar treatment, laser skin resurfacing, under-eye bag and dark-circle treatment, UltraClear laser.

Insurance and cost

Insurance coverage is discussed procedure-by-procedure (see above); no page publishes a dollar price for any eyelid procedure. The brow-lift page states dermal filler for brow lifting lasts an average of 9 to 15 months depending on the filler used, and some energy-device treatments need repeating every 4 to 6 months; these are duration statements, not prices.

Medicare eyelid operations, 2022 to 2024

From CMS, Medicare Physician and Other Practitioners by Provider and Service, NPI 1588899488. Medicare pays only when the lids block vision, so these are the medical cases. Cosmetic eyelid surgery is paid by the patient and is not in this record. CMS leaves out any code billed fewer than 11 times in a year.
