Eyelid surgery work

• Upper blepharoplasty. Described as removing loose skin and puffiness from the upper eyelids. The page distinguishes cosmetic from functional blepharoplasty: when heavy lid skin or ptosis obstructs peripheral vision, the functional procedure removing the obstructing tissue may be insurance-covered (upper-eyelid-lift).
• Lower blepharoplasty. Removes excess skin and fat and, in most cases, tightens the underlying muscle; incisions are placed along the lash line or inside the lower lid (lower-eyelid-lift).
• Forehead/brow lift. Three techniques offered: endoscopic forehead lift (small incisions behind the hairline), pretrichial lift (incision at the front of the hairline) and a direct lift (incision above the brow) for select cases (forehead-lift).
• Blepharospasm. Listed under functional procedures (blepharospasm).

Galleries (all returned HTTP 200 on 2026-09-30): upper eyelid lift, lower eyelid lift, ptosis (droopy upper eyelids), and brow/forehead lift before-and-after photo sets (gallery index).

Other procedures

The practice also lists non-surgical procedures (Botox, dermal fillers, IPL photofacial, IPL for ocular rosacea and dry eye), laser skin resurfacing, and reconstructive procedures (post-cancer eyelid repair, orbital disorders, orbital tumors, eyelid lesion removal), all under the same site.

Insurance and cost

The upper eyelid lift page states functional blepharoplasty that corrects obstructed vision may be covered by insurance, and the practice documents the functional component during consultation. Neither eyelid page publishes a specific price; both state cost depends on technique and is quoted during consultation.
