Revision Eyelid Surgery & Revision Brow Lift

Choosing to have cosmetic surgery should be a positive, transformative time. However, it is not uncommon for patients to come to us from other surgeons dissatisfied with their results. Instead of reaching their goals, their procedure did not go the way it was planned. But with a revision brow lift or revision eyelid surgery in Connecticut, you can finally get the results you wanted the first time around.

Board-certified eyelid surgeon Dr. Mahsa Sohrab and her staff prioritize providing a personalized experience that focuses on the patient’s unique needs, goals, and experiences. By working closely with her patients, she can deliver individualized results to help you achieve your aesthetic hopes and see the changes you desire. She works with patients from across the region, including Stamford, Darien, White Plains, and Westchester County.

What Is Revision Surgery?

Revision surgery corrects or improves upon the results of a previous procedure. At Dr. Sohrab’s practice, she offers two key types of cosmetic revision surgery: revision eyelid surgery and a revision brow lift.

Revision Eyelid Surgery

Also known as revision blepharoplasty, revision eyelid surgery is a corrective procedure that can address many of the issues that may arise from an initial eyelid surgery. Sometimes these concerns arise from an inexperienced surgeon, or an ineffective procedure. While the list of factors can go on and on, the important thing is that we are here to help you finally give your eyelids the care they deserve.

Revision blepharoplasty is ideal for addressing a range of concerns for the upper or lower eyelid, including:

Restoring symmetry
Removing residual tissue or bags
And adjusting the crease of the eyelid

In some cases, revision surgery may also be used to improve the function of the eyelid. When revision surgery is done for functional purposes, it may be covered by insurance.

Revision Brow Lift

A revision brow lift aims to restore, enhance, or correct the results of a previous brow lift. Dr. Sohrab is familiar with all brow lift techniques used, allowing her to build on the results of your prior procedure. Two of the main reasons patients seek a revision forehead lift include:

Wanting to reposition a drooping brow
Wanting to fix an overtight or “stretched” looking forehead

What Is the Procedure Like?

Your revision procedure will be customized to your specific needs and desired results, even more so than regular eyelid surgery or a brow lift. Not only do we take into account your unique features, but we adapt the procedure based on your previous surgery. We carefully plan with factors in mind, such as:

Any previous incisions or scarring
Existing adjustments of tissues
Your facial harmony and structure as a whole

In some cases, revision surgery can be done using the same incisions as your original surgery. This will minimize new scarring and help existing scars to heal more quickly.

Generally, the procedure lasts about 1–2 hours, but this depends on the unique nature of your procedure plan. Patients often also take this opportunity to combine revision eyelid surgery or a revision brow lift with other procedures. In some cases, the combination involves both of these revision procedures. In other cases, you could have either eyelid surgery or a brow lift for the first time. You will receive either local anesthesia or IV sedation to ensure your procedure is a comfortable experience. After your surgery, you can return home the same day.

Revision Eyelid Surgery & Revision Brow Lift FAQs

Am I a Candidate for Revision Surgery?

If you are unhappy with your initial eyelid surgery or brow lift results, revision surgery may be right for you. The sooner you come in, the sooner you can finally achieve the uplifting results you deserve. If your previous procedure did not live up to your expectations, then it may be time to have an experienced surgeon like Dr. Sohrab on your side.

The best way to determine if revision eyelid surgery or a revision brow lift is the best next step for you is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Sohrab. During your consultation, we will assess your medical history and current health, as well as review your eyelid results, to develop your optimal plan. Some top candidate qualities include:

Dissatisfaction with previous results
Results fading that you want to restore
Overall good health
A healthy approach to plastic surgery

What Is the Recovery Process for Revision Surgery?

Recovery after a revision eyelid procedure or brow lift surgery will be quite similar to your initial surgery. Depending on your unique situation and the amount of revision needed, it may actually be a bit shorter or longer. Typically, this still falls within an average range of 1 to 2 weeks for initial downtime and recovery with a focus on rest and avoiding strenuous activities. After this time, you can return to work and light activities. Some swelling, bruising, and pain are normal but vary from person to person. However, with proper medication and by following your post-procedure instructions, you can manage these side effects well.

When Can I See the Results?

Both a revision brow lift and revision eyelid surgery will offer you long-lasting results that can help you enjoy a more youthful appearance for years to come. But the goal is that this time, you actually like the final results! However, it’s essential to note that revision eyelid surgery is a complex procedure. As such, it may take some time for the full effects of your revision to become apparent, as swelling and bruising first need to go down fully.

Revision upper eyelid surgery results usually last 5 to 7+ years.
Revision lower eyelid surgery results usually last 10+ years.
Revision brow lift results can last 10 to 12+ years.
