Dr. Lexie Wang, MD

Dr. Lexie Wang is a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon practicing in Washington, District of Columbia. She specializes in cosmetic and reconstructive procedures of the face and neck, including rhinoplasty, facelifts, and eyelid surgery. Dr. Wang focuses on achieving natural-looking results and considers the eyes the "highest yield" area for a refreshed look. She clarifies that the term "facelift" can be confusing, as the surgery does not encompass the entire face, and stresses that proper consultation is crucial for undereye concerns, noting treatment is not a "one size fits all" approach. For rhinoplasty, Dr. Wang uses rib cartilage to build up the nose for contour and definition. She performs lower eyelid blepharoplasty through the eyelid to avoid external incisions or scars, addressing fat pockets from the eyeball. Dr. Wang emphasizes that surgical scars initially appear red and inflamed but will fade. She encourages patients to return for follow-up within their first year of healing for scar improvement. She serves as an oral examiner for the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, a role she believes is vital for preserving the integrity of board certification.
