"I was so impressed with my results, more than I could have ever imagined. We set a goal for my breathing and appearance, but he completely surprised me with my results and surpassed any expectations I had."
Treating the Eyes and Brow Together, Not in Isolation
Heaviness around the eyes is frequently a combination of upper eyelid skin excess and brow position — treating only one often leaves the underlying cause unaddressed. Both are evaluated together at consultation.
The goal throughout is subtlety: restoring a rested, natural appearance rather than the pulled or startled look that dated brow lift techniques can produce — which is why we describe it as a brow reset rather than simply a lift.

Common Questions
What is recovery like after lower eyelid surgery?
Pain is generally mild, around 3–4 out of 10, though the eyes often feel scratchy for about two weeks. There are typically no sutures to remove. Total downtime is about two weeks.
What kind of anesthesia is used for lower blepharoplasty?
Lower blepharoplasty is typically performed in the operating room under general anesthesia or MAC — monitored anesthesia care, the same type of sedation commonly used for a colonoscopy.
What does aftercare involve for lower eyelid surgery?
Postoperative care for lower blepharoplasty is typically limited to eye drops — there isn't an elaborate wound care regimen.
Is lower blepharoplasty ever combined with other procedures?
It is often paired with microfat transfer to restore volume under the eyes. Ask your surgeon whether this combination fits your anatomy at consultation.
Can upper eyelid surgery be done without general anesthesia?
For some patients, yes — upper blepharoplasty can be performed in-office under local anesthesia. Downtime is about two weeks, with minor upper lid bruising and a healing incision. Pain is typically mild, around 2 out of 10, and sutures are removed at about one week.
What is a 'brow reset,' and how is it different from an older-style brow lift?
We use the term brow reset deliberately: the goal is subtle, supportive correction that restores natural brow position — not the pulled, 'surprised' look associated with more aggressive, older brow lift techniques.
What does recovery from a brow lift look like day by day?
Swelling is typically centered in the forehead on the first day after surgery, shifts to the area around the eyes on days 2–3 (the eyes do not usually swell shut), and patients generally look and feel considerably better by day 5. Total downtime is about one week.
Can blepharoplasty and brow lift be done together?
Yes — heaviness around the eyes is often a combination of upper eyelid skin excess and brow position. Both are evaluated together at consultation so the plan addresses the actual cause rather than just one symptom of it.
How much do blepharoplasty and brow lift cost?
Blepharoplasty starts at $3,000 and brow lift / brow reset starts at $4,000 for the surgeon's fee. Reflects the surgeon's fee only. Anesthesia and facility fees are billed separately and are not included in the amount shown. Your exact quote is provided after an in-person evaluation.
Can I do a virtual consultation before coming in?
Yes. A virtual initial consultation is available to discuss your goals and get preliminary questions answered. An in-person exam is required before any surgery is scheduled.
