Eyelid surgery work

• Upper eyelid surgery. Removes and recontours excess skin around the eyes to address tired, drooping or puffy tissue (blepharoplasty).
• Lower eyelid surgery. Described as a "modern and sophisticated lower lid lift" using fat repositioning: lower-lid fat is moved into the transitional zone with the cheek to soften the lid-cheek junction and reduce puffiness and dark circles.
• Asian eyelid surgery. The page states Dr. Covici has experience performing Asian eyelid surgery for patients who want a natural-looking, functioning double-creased eyelid.
• Ptosis eyelid surgery. Lifts drooping lids to recover peripheral vision; the page states ptosis procedures may be covered by insurance.
• Brow lift. Three approaches named across the site: a direct brow lift (incision above and along the eyebrows, which lowers the hairline and is suited to a receding hairline or high forehead) on its own page, plus a coronal lift (incision along the entire hairline) and a temporal lift (small incisions along the lateral hairline) described on the facial-plastic-surgery overview page (brow-lift, facial-plastic-surgery).
• Entropion repair. Sutures placed in the eyelid to tighten it and return it to normal position, performed under local anesthesia as same-day outpatient surgery, about one hour (entropion).

Galleries (all returned HTTP 200 on 2026-09-30), with case counts as printed: upper eyelid blepharoplasty (60 cases), lower eyelid blepharoplasty (10 cases), combined upper and lower eyelid lift (24 cases), ptosis repair (39 cases), direct brow lift (5 cases), and Asian eyelid lift (4 cases) (gallery index).

Other procedures

The site's non-surgical offerings include BOTOX, Restylane and Juvederm injectable treatments for facial lines, volume and lip fullness (injectables). No facelift, rhinoplasty or neck lift pages are listed; the surgical practice is focused on the eyelids and brow.

Insurance and cost

The blepharoplasty page states ptosis procedures may be covered by the patient's insurance carrier; no other page states insurance terms. No page publishes a dollar price for any eyelid or brow procedure.

Practice
