It began with a consultation and a request: “I want to wear winged eyeliner”.
Our patient loves makeup and had long wanted to wear a sharp, lifted winged liner. Hooded upper eyelids made that difficult to achieve, and she also felt her eyes appeared heavier and more fatigued than she felt day to day.
Upper blepharoplasty is a study in precision. It requires careful assessment of eyelid anatomy, thoughtful preoperative marking, and a refined surgical approach grounded in a deep mastery of facial anatomy.
Dr. Munique Maia’s attention to detail, measured technique, and artistic eye allow for restoration of upper eyelid definition while preserving natural expression and function.
Performed under local anesthesia in approximately 45 minutes in our Tysons Corner, VA clinic, the procedure was completed with incisions placed precisely within the natural crease to support discreet healing.
Two and a half weeks later, her eyes appear brighter and more rested, and her winged liner sits exactly as she imagined.
An upper eyelid lift is also a frequent complement to facelift surgery, helping create harmonious, balanced facial rejuvenation when the upper face and lower face are addressed together. Comment “EYES” to be connected with our patient concierge and learn more about the procedure 🩶
