It’s the Perfect Time to Tame Your Double Chin, Get Halo and More! Leesburg, VA

December 17, 2020

If you’re laying low this season by staying close to home, kudos for keeping yourself and those around you safe. Since our job is helping you look and feel your best, we wanted to suggest a strategic way for you to spend your nesting time this winter: While you are hunkering down, why not turn your home time into scheduled downtime from that aesthetic treatment you’ve been wanting for ages? Here’s a look at just a few aesthetic treatments that reveal marvelous results but do entail some downtime.

While watching that entire documentary, you could be recovering from Kybella^®, the world’s first FDA-approved injectable for submental fat reduction! Kybella treatments involve a series of tiny pricks under your chin. These pricks administer a modified form of deoxycholic acid, a natural fat-busting molecule in the body, to your target area. The treatment is relatively quick and simple but results in significant swelling. Swelling is actually a great sign because it means your Kybella treatment is working! But it’s nice to be able to lay low at home until this swelling subsides.

While you’re cuddling up during those long winter nights, you might try serious skin renewal with the world-famous Halo^™ laser skin treatment! The Halo glow is a real thing! This treatment stimulates renewal at multiple levels within your skin, resulting in a wide range of complexion improvements, including smoother, brighter and more evenly toned skin. Depending on the intensity of your treatment, you could experience a week of redness and peeling.

Have you been thinking about blepharoplasty? This may be your time to finally do it! An eyelid lift at AVIE! is an outpatient procedure performed under local anesthesia by our medical director, Dr. Khalique Zahir. As a board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Zahir has years of experience helping patients achieve the look they desire with minimal downtime. An eyelid lift can help correct skin that droops over the eyelids, improve bags or puffiness under the eyes and reduce wrinkles around the eyes. To learn more about blepharoplasty, please don’t hesitate to call us for a personal consultation!

5 Signs You Need an Eyelid Lift Leesburg, VA

August 23, 2018

We use our eye muscles more frequently than any other muscle in the body, so it’s no wonder that our eyes are one of the first areas to show signs of aging. Our hard-working eyes are surrounded by thin, fragile skin, which is susceptible to the wear and tear of life.
Are you curious about the benefits of eyelid surgery? Also known as blepharoplasty or an eyelid lift, eyelid surgery is a surprisingly simple procedure that can dramatically revitalize your look.
Here are a few telltale signs that you may benefit from an eyelid lift:
•Frequent blinking (every few seconds when awake)
•Excessive squinting
•Eyes that look hooded (The hooded look results from tissues that have lost their firmness, due to a loss of collagen and elastin with age.)
•Impaired vision due to drooping upper eyelids
Performed by our cosmetic surgeon and medical director, Dr. Khalique Zahir, eyelid lifts are an outpatient procedure to carefully remove excess skin and tighten loose tissue surrounding the delicate eye area. Dr. Zahir will closely evaluate your concerns during your personal consultation and determine if you will benefit from surgery or a combination of treatments. Some patients may discover that a combination treatment with dermal fillers and Botox® may be a better fit for their needs, while others may determine that surgery is the most effective option.
To learn more about eyelid lifts, schedule your personal consultation! Call 703.870.3844 or complete our online consultation request form today.

5 Facts You May Not Know about Eyelid Lifts Leesburg, VA

March 29, 2018

Eyelid surgery (also known as blepharoplasty) is one of the top cosmetic surgeries in the country, helping more than 100,000 people to rejuvenate the appearance of their eyes each year. An eyelid lift is popular because it’s a relatively simple procedure that affords impressive benefits, revealing a younger-looking, refreshed appearance with a relatively rapid recovery.
To get the most out of your surgery, here are 5 fun facts about eyelid lifts:
Eyelid lifts aren’t really lifts.
Though an eyelid lift is certainly an uplifting experience because it restores a more youthful appearance—and who isn’t excited about that?—the operative word in an eyelid lift should be “removal” rather than “lift.” Eyelid surgery involves the removal of fat deposits, excess tissue, or muscle from the eyelids.
It’s not a replacement for Botox®.
Eyelid surgery can dramatically rejuvenate your face, taking years off your appearance. If you suffer from droopy eyelids or bags under your eyes, an eyelid lift might be just what you need. However, certain lines and wrinkles around the eyes, such as crow’s feet, aren’t always improved with an eyelid lift. You may benefit from additional cosmetic treatments, such as Botox, to help smooth fine lines around the eyes, or forehead wrinkles. During your consultation, our board-certified surgeon, Dr. Khalique Zahir, will carefully consider your facial contours and goals to devise an optimal treatment plan that may include a chemical peel, injectables, or other treatments.
You don’t need to go under.
To ensure comfort, eyelid surgery usually involves a combination of local anesthetic with mild, oral sedation.
Plan on some downtime.
Though eyelid lifts are well tolerated, adequate downtime is essential to your recovery. Plan on taking at least a week off work, and having someone drive you to and from your surgery and throughout the first week post surgery. You will also need to apply antibiotic ointment to prevent infection and ice to curb swelling the week following surgery.
The doctor matters.
Last, but certainly not least, the key to every successful eyelid surgery and achieving natural-looking, beautiful results is choosing the right eye surgeon. The doctor performing your surgery should not only possess a thorough knowledge of facial anatomy, but also have a keen eye for aesthetic detail. Eyelid surgery is a delicate procedure that calls for restraint and precision. A board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Zahir has years of experience performing eyelid lifts and will help you attain the most flattering, natural-looking results possible.
