Eyelid surgery work
- Oculoplastics. Practice page lists ptosis correction (droopy eyelids), blepharoplasty (dermatochalasis, excess eyelid skin), eyelid reconstruction after trauma or cancer, eyelid malposition (ectropion, entropion, retraction) and blocked tear duct surgery (DCR) (oculoplastics).
- Blepharoplasty. Practice page describes upper and lower eyelid blepharoplasty, states the procedure takes one to two hours under local anesthesia with or without sedation, and that extra skin, fat and muscle are removed or repositioned with eyelid tendons sometimes tightened (blepharoplasty).
- Facial Aesthetics. Describes an "eyelid lift" removing excess fat and skin from upper and/or lower lids, shortening the levator muscle to open the eyes more widely, and brow lift to raise tissue under the eyebrow (facial-aesthetics).
These service pages describe the practice's oculoplastics offering generally, across its 11 listed providers; they are not written specifically about Dr. Foster, though her bio names oculoplastic surgery and pediatric oculoplastics as her specialty. No before-and-after photo gallery page was found on the site.
Other procedures
The practice also offers cataract surgery, comprehensive eye care, cornea/corneal surgery, dry eye treatment, glaucoma care and LASIK, per the site's services menu (services). Facial Aesthetics also lists facelift and neck lift as practice-level offerings (facial-aesthetics).
Insurance and cost
No page was found stating prices or insurance/Medicare coverage specific to eyelid surgery. The financing page describes CareCredit for "procedures not commonly covered by insurance," naming LASIK and premium IOLs, not blepharoplasty (financing).
