Dr. Flora Levin, MD, FACS

Dr. Flora Levin, MD, FACS, is an oculoplastic surgeon practicing in Westport, Connecticut, and is board certified in Ophthalmology. She is also specifically board certified in Blepharoplasty & Browlift. Her approach to aesthetic surgery is founded on three pillars: recognition, understanding, and technique, emphasized in that specific order. Dr. Levin aims for natural results by first understanding the underlying anatomical changes that contribute to a patient's "heavy," "tired," or "hooded" appearance. She highlights the significant impact of procedures like outer brow reset and ptosis repair on cosmetic outcomes, even though patients may not frequently request them. Dr. Levin explains that failing to recognize or correct outer eyelid hooding or ptosis can leave patients still looking tired. She performs ptosis repair by tightening the eyelid muscle to open the eye, noting it is "scarless" as the incision is hidden inside the upper eyelid. Similarly, scars from outer brow reset, which lifts the lateral part of the eyebrow, are hidden in the scalp. She also offers procedures such as dermal fillers, eyelid surgery, and browlifts, with final surgical results typically visible at 4-6 months.
