Benefits of Cosmetic Eye Procedures with Dr. Rad

Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ariel Rad combines advanced surgical techniques with an artistic approach to achieve natural-looking, rejuvenating results. Dr. Rad specializes in aesthetic eyelid procedures that restore facial harmony while maintaining natural expression. Every surgery is meticulously planned to enhance your features with minimal visible scarring.

Eye procedures offered at Sherber + Rad include:

• Upper Blepharoplasty
  Removes excess upper eyelid skin and fat that can make the eyes look heavy, hooded, or asymmetrical. This procedure brightens the eye area and can also improve peripheral vision if drooping skin is obstructing your view.
• Lower Blepharoplasty
  Targets puffiness, sagging, and under-eye hollows by removing or repositioning fat, tightening skin, and smoothing the tear troughs. It is commonly performed for under-eye bag removal.
• Canthoplasty (Fox Eye Lift)
  Also called “cat eye surgery,” this technique reshapes the outer corner of the eye by tightening the lateral canthal tendon. Canthoplasty in Washington DC is ideal for patients seeking a more almond-shaped or lifted eye contour.
• Orbital Fat Transfer / Fat Grafting
  Restores volume around the eyes using your own fat to correct hollowing and improve soft tissue support.
• Tear Trough Correction
  This non-surgical or surgical approach treats deep under-eye grooves by filling the hollows or repositioning tissue to smooth the transition from lower eyelid to cheek.

 

FAQs: Cosmetic Eyelid Surgery in Washington DC

How much does eyelid lift surgery in Washington DC cost, is financing available?

Yes, we are pleased to offer the convenience of financing. The costs for cosmetic eye surgery varies based on the type of procedure, surgical complexity, and whether multiple procedures are combined.

Am I a candidate for cosmetic eyelid surgery?

During your eyelid lift consultation, Dr. Rad will evaluate your health and medication history, facial anatomy, eyelid structure, skin quality, and personal goals to ensure your compatibility and create a tailored treatment plan. Candidates for eyelid lift surgery typically include:

• People bothered by sagging upper eyelid skin or lower eyelid bags
• Individuals with tired, sunken, or asymmetrical eyes due to aging or genetics
• Patients in good overall health with realistic expectations
• Non-smokers without uncontrolled medical conditions that could impair healing

.What happens during eyelid lift surgery?

Eyelid surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. Dr. Rad uses hidden incisions along the eyelid crease or inside the lower lid to remove or reposition tissue. The procedure takes 1–2 hours depending on the treatment plan.

What is recovery like after eyelid surgery?

Most patients experience mild swelling, bruising, and tightness around the eyes for several days. Stitches are removed within a week, and patients generally return to work or social activities within 7–10 days. Full healing and refinement of results occur over several weeks.

What are the risks of eyelid surgery?

As with any surgical procedure, there are risks. Potential complications may include infection, temporary dry eye, minor asymmetry, or visible scarring. Working with an experienced board-certified surgeon minimizes these risks and ensures a safe surgical experience.

Will I need both upper and lower eyelid surgery?

Not necessarily. Some patients benefit from a single procedure, while others see the best results from a combined approach. Dr. Rad will advise you on what will deliver the most natural and balanced outcome during your consultation.

Can eyelid surgery be combined with other facial procedures?

Yes. Eyelid surgery is often combined with brow lift, facelift, or non-surgical treatments for full-face rejuvenation. These combinations can improve overall facial harmony and minimize downtime.

Are the results of eyelid lift surgery permanent?

While the aging process continues, most patients enjoy long-lasting results from blepharoplasty. With proper skincare and sun protection, results can last 10 years or more before any touch-ups may be considered.
