* upper eyelid blepharoplasty repair
* ectropion repair
* entropion repair

* eyelid lesion removal and/or biopsy
* eyelid reconstruction and defect repair including after Mohs' surgery
* eyelid tightening procedures for Floppy Eyelid Syndrome
* tarsorrhaphy
* dacryocystorhinostomy
(\*)These listed procedures have a low reported rate of serious complications including vision loss, infection, severe bleeding, or death; however, surgical risk is ultimately determined by the surgeon on a per-patient basis, except in those cases specifically excluded in the subsequent section.

Are undergoing eyelid or other oculoplastic procedures that are deemed greater than low-risk for serious complications, including but not limited to:
* orbital surgery
* lower eyelid blepharoplasty
* repair of extensive eyelid defects following Mohs' surgery (roughly \>33%)
* procedures involving an implant (e.g. frontalis sling, gold weight implantation; except dacryocystorhinostomy due to the low-risk nature of the lacrimal stent)
* procedures requiring in-person care at the first post-operative week (e.g. suture removal, bolster removal, patch removal)
