Eyelid + Brow Surgery

(Blepharoplasty)

People often look less expressive, tired, and older than they actually are because of drooping eyelids, puffiness, or a heavy brow. These changes become prominent with age when the elasticity of the skin reduces and fat deposits around the eye shift. Eyelid and brow surgery (Blepharoplasty) is a precise method to refresh the appearance of the eyes. In this procedure, sagging brow and under-eye skin are lifted, and underlying tissues are repositioned to give a more natural and refreshed look. At Nova Faces, Dr Lindsey uses his advanced training with a careful, personalised approach to achieve results that enhance your expression without looking overdone. His expertise helps patients regain clearer vision, restored balance, and a brighter, more youthful appearance.

Upper Eyelid Surgery: Restoring a Brighter, Natural Look

• This surgery removes excess skin on the upper eyelids and reduces or repositions the excess fat.
• Dr. Lindsey has performed over 2800 upper eyelid surgeries in McLean, VA. Among them, around 1400 surgeries were standalone, and the rest were performed with facelifts.
• During this procedure, patients feel discomfort, which is often associated with administering injections. Very few patients need pain relief medications after this procedure.
• Bruising takes five days to heal and fades away in ten days. Wearing glasses outdoors usually covers any residual bruising.

Lower Eyelid Surgery: Smoother, Youthful Under-Eye Results

• This lower eyelid surgery in Richmond, VA, is performed to remove the under-eye bags, puffiness, and fat herniation or skin laxity under the eyes.
• Dr. Lindsey has performed about 500 lower-lid procedures using two common techniques.
  1. External incision: Here, he makes an incision below the eyelash to take out any excess fat or skin.
  2. Internal incision: In this case, he takes a transconjunctival approach (making an incision inside the lower eyelid) for fat and excess skin removal without leaving any outer scar.
• Dr. Lindsey sedates patients while performing lower blepharoplasty since this procedure involves deeper tissue manipulation.
• Typically, no additional treatments are required. However, if patients want to improve their skin or have fine lines, laser resurfacing treatment and chemical peels are suggested and offered.

Brow Lift Surgery: Subtle Elevation, Noticeable Rejuvenation

• A brow lift procedure enhances a heavy or low brow, raises the forehead, smooths deep forehead lines, and opens up the eye area. This helps patients get a more youthful appearance on their faces.
• A brow lift specialist in Richmond, VA, uses different surgical procedures for different patients. The medical technique used varies with the facial build of the patients and their aesthetic goals. Typically, either of the three techniques is used:
  1. endoscopic lift (small incisions along the hairline)
  2. temporal lift
  3. direct brow lift
• Patients usually recover in ten days; most of them face mild discomfort.
• Dr. Lindsey creates personalised care programs to treat each patient. They get natural-looking and balanced results.

Combined Eyelid & Brow Surgery — Better Results

• Many patients who look for eyelid surgery in Washington, DC, often combine blepharoplasty with a brow lift. The combined surgical procedure improves their heavy upper eyelid appearance while removing the excess eyelid.
• Dr. Lindsey at Nova Faces performs this treatment only after examining the patient’s eyelids, fat pads, muscles, and bone structure.
• Combined eyelid and brow surgery improves eye appearance, enhances eye function, and maintains the patient’s unique identity without changing the facial features.

Risks, Recovery & Aftercare

• Just like medical procedures, a brow or eyelid surgery in Washington, DC has potential side effects and requires aftercare:
• Typical, temporary side effects are bruising, swelling, dryness, and irritation.
• Within the duration of fourteen days, swelling and bruising subsides. It enables you to return to daily activities. It can take a few months for the scar to fade and heal completely.
• Patients must follow post-operative instructions diligently for a quick and smooth recovery.
