  • Eyesthetica's site states its doctors are "board-certified in ophthalmology and fellowship-trained in Oculofacial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery," and elsewhere that all of the practice's doctors "are all certified members of the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ASOPRS)" (brow-lift-surgery, revision-eye-surgery); no individual board-certification statement specific to Dr. Conger was found.
  • Published research in the Journal of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and other journals; presented at national meetings.
  • Site lists notable achievements: Oculoplastics Surgeon Award, Poland-Finke Chair Award, Harry Friedman Research Award.

Eyelid surgery work

Procedure pages describe Eyesthetica's shared surgical approach across its doctors rather than Dr. Conger individually.

  • Upper blepharoplasty. Uses the practice's "Healthy Blink Blepharoplasty" approach, which preserves the eyelid-blinking muscle, sculpts skin and fat through minimal incisions, and aims for a natural result (upper-blepharoplasty).
  • Lower blepharoplasty. Fat is typically removed or repositioned transconjunctivally (no visible scar); a hidden "skin pinch" incision below the lashes is used for larger amounts of excess skin; chemical peel or laser resurfacing can address minimal skin excess at the same visit (lower-blepharoplasty).
  • Double eyelid surgery. For Asian-configuration eyelids (also seen in up to half of Hispanic patients per the site): skin and fat are excised and a strip of muscle sculpted to form a new crease, closed with sutures that hide the scar in the new fold (double-eyelid-surgery).
  • Ptosis repair. Internal ("scarless") repair for minimal ptosis; external repair via an eyelid-crease incision for moderate ptosis; upper-eyelid sling surgery, connecting the lid to the brow, for severely weakened muscles (ptosis-droopy-eyelid).
  • Brow lift. Options include endoscopic, transblepharoplasty, direct, midforehead and hairline brow lift, with incisions hidden in brow hair, a forehead crease, or the hairline depending on technique (brow-lift-surgery).
  • Ectropion repair. Lateral eyelid tightening, sometimes combined with lower blepharoplasty, tear-duct opening, mid-face elevation, or (rarely) a skin graft/flap (ectropion-surgery).
  • Entropion repair. Typically lower-eyelid tightening, reinsertion of the lower-lid retractor, and excision of a strip of orbicularis muscle; the practice also offers a transconjunctival entropion repair (developed and published by a practice colleague, Dr. Dresner) that avoids an external incision (entropion-surgery).
  • Revision eyelid surgery. For ptosis, retraction, contour problems or overly aggressive prior surgery; techniques include grafts from the ear or hard palate, scar revision, and fat grafting/fillers for volume restoration (revision-eye-surgery).

Gallery (HTTP 200 on 2026-09-30, about 385 images site-wide) can be filtered by doctor, including a "Dr. Conger" filter option (doctor-results-gallery).

Other procedures

Eyelid tumor removal and reconstruction, thyroid eye disease treatment, blepharospasm/hemifacial spasm (Botox), tearing-problem evaluation, facial trauma, orbital tumor surgery, pediatric oculoplastic surgery, fat grafting, fillers, laser skin resurfacing and chemical peels (site navigation).

Insurance and cost

Ectropion repair and entropion repair are each described as "usually covered by insurance" (ectropion-surgery, entropion-surgery). No blepharoplasty, ptosis or brow-lift prices are published on the pages checked; the practice offers a "Request Pricing" contact option and CareCredit financing.

Recovery

  • Blepharoplasty. Surgery under an hour; bruising noticeable up to 2 weeks; most patients return to work within the first week; sutures removed in 5-7 days; strenuous activity resumes at 2 weeks; final results at 2-3 months (upper-blepharoplasty).
  • Ptosis repair. Same general recovery course as blepharoplasty; sutures, if placed, removed in 5-9 days; pre-existing dry eye can be temporarily worse (ptosis-droopy-eyelid).
  • Brow lift. Surgery about 1 hour; bruising/swelling typically 2-3 weeks; most return to work within the first week; sutures/staples removed 7-10 days (brow-lift-surgery).

Medicare eyelid operations, 2022 to 2024

From CMS, Medicare Physician and Other Practitioners by Provider and Service, NPI 1861925026. 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.
