Modern Approaches for a Youthful, Balanced Look

Natural signs of aging can take a toll on our eyes, making us look more tired and less vibrant than we feel. Dr. Fairchild’s combined eyelid and eyebrow lift addresses these concerns so you look naturally awake, energized, and refreshed.

Dr. Fairchild's Philosophy

Each of us has unique facial expressions and contours that impact how our appearances change over time. Dr. Fairchild honors this individuality. As an expert in facial anatomy, she recognizes that eyelid and eyebrow lifts are not a one-size-fits-all solution. By tailoring her procedures to each patient’s individual needs, concerns, and aesthetic preferences, she subtly softens signs of aging without creating overdramatic or unnatural results.

Specialized Technique

Dr. Fairchild uses advanced techniques to achieve stunning, long-lasting outcomes for her combined eyelid and eyebrow lift patients:

  • Minimally Invasive Brow Elevation: Using advanced, tissue-sparing methods, Dr. Fairchild gently lifts and repositions the brows to a more youthful position while preserving natural movement. Excess skin is meticulously removed, refining the upper eyelids without an overcorrected or artificial appearance.
  • Strategic Volume Restoration: To counteract age-related volume loss, Dr. Fairchild utilizes micro-fat transfer or targeted dermal fillers to restore definition to hollowed areas, enhancing the natural structure of the eyelids and brow region.
  • Precision Incision Placement for Discreet Healing: Every incision is carefully placed within natural creases or along the hairline to ensure scars are well hidden. By tailoring her approach to each patient’s unique facial anatomy, she delivers results that enhance, rather than alter, natural expression.

State-of-The-Art Surgery Center

Dr. Fairchild performs all procedures at a fully accredited and innovative surgical center designed to maximize patient safety and comfort. The facility is equipped with the latest technology and staffed with a highly trained surgical team to ensure seamless patient experiences and a smooth recovery. 

Real People. Real Results

Endoscopic Brow Lift

The endoscopic brow lift is a modern, minimally invasive approach to rejuvenating the upper face. Using small incisions hidden within the hairline, your surgeon inserts a tiny camera and specialized instruments to gently lift and reposition the brow tissue. This technique allows for precise adjustments, creating a more youthful and refreshed appearance without the need for large incisions. Patients benefit from minimal visible scarring, shorter recovery times, and long-lasting, natural-looking results.

Temporal Brow Lift

Also known as a lateral brow lift, the temporal brow lift focuses specifically on the outer portion of the eyebrows. This subtle yet effective procedure helps elevate the tail of the brow, creating a more defined arch and opening up the eyes. It's ideal for patients experiencing early signs of aging, such as drooping at the outer brow or hooding of the upper eyelids. With incisions placed discreetly along the temples, the temporal brow lift offers minimal downtime and a refined, natural outcome.

Coronal Brow Lift

The coronal brow lift is a more traditional and comprehensive method of brow elevation. It involves a longer incision made behind the hairline across the scalp, allowing the surgeon to lift the entire forehead and brow area. This technique is typically recommended for patients with significant brow drooping or deep forehead wrinkles. While it requires a longer recovery period, the coronal lift provides dramatic and lasting improvements in brow height and facial symmetry, making it a suitable option for patients seeking substantial correction.

Direct Brow Lift

The direct brow lift is often used for patients with very pronounced brow drooping, particularly when it affects vision or creates a tired, heavy appearance. In this technique, excess skin is removed directly above the brows, allowing for immediate and noticeable elevation. Although the incisions are placed close to the brow line, they are typically well-concealed within natural skin folds. This procedure is especially effective for men and older patients with thick brow skin or significant laxity.

Upper Blepharoplasty

Upper blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is designed to restore a youthful and rested look by addressing excess skin, fat, and muscle in the upper eyelids. Over time, the upper eyelids can sag or develop puffiness, making patients appear tired or older than they feel. During this procedure, your surgeon precisely trims sagging skin and repositions fat to smooth and contour the eyelid. The result is a brighter, more alert appearance that enhances the natural shape of your eyes and complements the overall harmony of the face.

What is a Combined Eyelid and Eyebrow Lift?

A combined eyelid and eyebrow lift gently elevates the brows and smooths the upper eyelids to restore a refreshed, natural look. Dr. Fairchild carefully repositions underlying tissues, removes excess skin, and refines the eyelid contour to open the eyes without overcorrecting. Using advanced techniques, she lifts the brows through small, discreet incisions—often hidden within the hairline—while ensuring natural movement is preserved. By addressing both areas in harmony, this procedure enhances facial balance, reduces heaviness around the eyes, and creates long-lasting, youthful results with a single recovery period.

Pricing & Insurance

Eyelid and brow lift surgery are considered elective cosmetic procedures and are usually not eligible for insurance coverage. However, if excess eyelid skin is impairing your vision, part of the procedure may qualify for coverage. Dr. Fairchild’s team can assist with documentation and verification to determine whether any portion of your surgery meets medical necessity criteria.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I need an eyelid lift, a brow lift, or both?
If you notice heavy, sagging brows that make your upper eyelids appear hooded or tired, a brow lift may be beneficial. If excess eyelid skin is causing a droopy, tired look or obstructing vision, an eyelid lift (blepharoplasty) may be needed. Many patients benefit from a combined approach for the most balanced, natural-looking results.
Will a brow lift change my natural expression?
No, Dr. Fairchild uses advanced techniques that lift and reposition the brows without overcorrecting. Her approach ensures a natural, refreshed look that enhances your features rather than altering your unique expressions.
How long does the procedure take?
A combined eyelid and eyebrow lift typically takes 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on the surgical plan. Dr. Fairchild customizes each procedure to your needs, ensuring precise, high-quality results.
What type of anesthesia is used?
Depending on the extent of the procedure, Dr. Fairchild may perform your surgery under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. She will discuss the best option for you during your consultation.
How soon can I wear makeup after surgery?
Most patients can safely resume wearing makeup around two weeks post-surgery, once initial healing is complete. However, it’s important to follow Dr. Fairchild’s guidelines to prevent irritation or infection.
Will my results look natural?

Yes! Dr. Fairchild specializes in subtle, sophisticated facial rejuvenation. Her goal is to restore a well-rested, naturally lifted appearance—not to create a “surprised” or overdone look.

Can I combine this procedure with other facial surgeries?
Yes, many patients choose to combine their eyelid and brow lift with other facial rejuvenation procedures, such as a facelift or laser skin resurfacing, for a more comprehensive result. Dr. Fairchild will recommend the best approach based on your aesthetic goals.
How long will my results last?
Results from a combined eyelid and eyebrow lift are long-lasting, with many patients enjoying their refreshed appearance for 10+ years. While the aging process continues, maintaining good skincare habits and a healthy lifestyle can help preserve your results.
