Eyelid surgery work

The practice's procedure pages (shared across its surgeons) describe:

  • Upper blepharoplasty. Operation duration 30-45 minutes, local anesthesia with sedation, recovery duration 7-14 days, insurance coverage "depends on condition" (blepharoplasty).
  • Lower blepharoplasty. May involve removal or repositioning of herniated orbital fat, skin reduction, or fractional CO2 laser skin tightening; listed as not covered by insurance (blepharoplasty-2).
  • Ptosis repair. Surgical repair of the tendon holding the eyelid up; coverage "depends on condition" (droopy-upper-eyelids-repair).
  • Brow lift. Endoscopic technique preferred; often combined with blepharoplasty; not covered by insurance (forehead-lift).
  • Eyelid malposition. Entropion and ectropion repair (eyelid-malposition).

His own bio page states he was one of the first surgeons in Michigan to perform endoscopic forehead surgery, has performed cosmetic eyelid surgery for 30 years, pioneered new endoscopic methods for tearing problems, and performs surgery for eyelid drooping, eyelid tumors and lower eyelid malpositions.

His filtered before-and-after gallery page (200, checked 2026-09-30) lists cases including "Repair ptosis both upper lids" and "Blepharoplasty of both upper lids / Transconjunctival excision herniated orbital fat with CO2 laser skin resurfacing of both lower lids" (dr-gladstone gallery).

Insurance and cost

Medicare eyelid operations, 2022 to 2024

From CMS, Medicare Physician and Other Practitioners by Provider and Service, NPI 1982634499. 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.
