1. EYELID SURGERY DOES NOT REQUIRE GENERAL ANESTHESIA

Would you like to experience the benefits of blepharoplasty, but want to avoid being put under? Good news: Eyelid surgery in Northern Virginia doesn’t require general anesthesia.

A local anesthetic paired with IV sedation allows patients to remain awake during the procedure. It also helps them feel relaxed and free of any pain.

2. YOU WILL NOT HAVE ANY VISIBLE SCARS AFTER TREATMENT

When performed by a leading oculo-facial plastic surgeon like Dr. Rostami or Dr. Naz, blepharoplasty will not result in noticeable scarring. Incisions are made in the natural creases of lids to conceal scars, which will eventually fade away.

3. INSURANCE MAY COVER THE COST OF TREATMENT

If you are experiencing ptosis that is interfering with your sight, your insurance company may provide benefits for at least a portion of your eyelid surgery. Contact your carrier to learn more about your plan’s coverage.

4. EYELID SURGERY RESULTS ARE LONG-LASTING

One of the key advantages of this eyelid procedure is that the results are long-lasting. In fact, many women and men enjoy treatment benefits for the rest of their lives.

Non-invasive procedures, like Botox and fillers, can also help preserve a refreshed and youthful appearance following eyelid surgery.

5. IMPROVEMENT IS IMMEDIATE AND PROGRESSIVE

Immediately after the procedure, patients will be pleased to note that their eyes look more open, alert, and youthful. These effects will continue to improve in the coming months, and final outcomes are evident after 1 year.
