Eyelid surgery work

The practice's blepharoplasty page (not written specifically for Dr. Cahill) describes upper eyelid blepharoplasty for droopy/sagging upper lids that can affect vision, and lower eyelid blepharoplasty for puffy lower lids, typically cosmetic. It states the procedure takes one to two hours, sutures are partly dissolving and partly removed after a few days, and the practice lists risks (temporary blurred vision, light sensitivity, dry eyes, bleeding, scarring, further surgery, muscle or nerve weakness, double vision, anesthesia reaction, infection) (blepharoplasty).

The oculoplastics page lists ptosis correction, blepharoplasty, eyelid reconstruction (post-trauma or cancer), Bell's palsy, eyelid malposition (ectropion, entropion, retraction), eyelid lesions and blocked tear duct surgery as procedures the practice performs (oculoplastics). The facial aesthetics page adds brow lift, described as raising heavy tissue under the eyebrow and improving the eyelid-to-eyebrow zone (facial-aesthetics).

No before-and-after photo gallery is published on the site.

Other procedures

The practice is a general ophthalmology group: cataract surgery, cornea and corneal surgery, dry eye treatment, glaucoma, LASIK, and facial aesthetics services (facelift/neck lift, skin rejuvenation, neuromodulators, soft-tissue fillers).

Insurance and cost

No page states insurance coverage specifics for blepharoplasty. No page publishes a dollar price for eyelid surgery; the Financing page describes CareCredit financing for procedures not commonly covered by insurance (example given: LASIK, premium IOLs) with a minimum purchase of $200, not eyelid-surgery-specific.

Practice

Not verified: Dr. Cahill's bio page states he also sees patients at a satellite office in Zanesville, Ohio, but no Zanesville address is printed anywhere on the site.
