Eye Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery

Bryan J. Winn, MD

“The options surrounding rejuvenative and restorative facial procedures are vast and can be complex. As an oculoplastic surgeon, my aims are simple: to understand your goals, provide you with a detailed understanding of your options, and give you the best care possible, maximizing function, safety and aesthetic appearance."

Bryan J. Winn, MD, is an Assistant Professor of Clinical Ophthalmology at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons and an Assistant Attending Ophthalmologist at the NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital. He is board certified in Ophthalmology, specializing in the medical and surgical management of eyelid, lacrimal, and orbital disorders, as well as aesthetic treatments of the periocular regions of the face. He is also the Assistant Residency Program Director for the Department of Ophthalmology at Columbia, providing direct supervision of its ophthalmology residents and medical students.

Dr. Winn graduated Summa Cum Laude from Amherst College where he was elected to the Phi Beta Kappa honor society. He completed his medical school training at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons in 2003. There he was elected to the Alpha Omega Alpha medical honor society and was awarded the Edith and Denton McKane Memorial Award for outstanding research in ophthalmology and the prestigious Janeway Prize for the highest achievement and abilities in the graduating class. Between his third and fourth years of medical school, he completed a clinical research fellowship in Ocular Electrophysiology and Neuro-ophthalmology at Columbia University. Following an internship specializing in Internal Medicine at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital/Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts, he began residency training in Ophthalmology at the University of California ¬– San Francisco. There he received the Paul D. Langer Award, was Vice President of the Frederick C. Cordes Eye Society and was elected to the Board of Councilors of the California Academy of Ophthalmology. After residency, Dr. Winn moved to Seattle, Washington, where he completed a two-year fellowship in Oculoplastic Surgery accredited by the American Society of Oculoplastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ASOPRS). During this time, Dr. Winn developed broad clinical and surgical expertise in ophthalmic plastic surgery as well as aesthetic facial rejuvenation techniques.

Dr. Winn is dedicated to medical education and has published numerous peer-reviewed scientific articles and book chapters. He frequently presents at national and state scientific and professional meetings.

Always with a smile, Dr. Winn is a caring and understanding physician, merging clinical acumen with a warm bedside manner. His philosophy of medical care reflects this: “So much of medicine today is run like an assembly line in a high-volume factory, often falling short of creating a quality product. I believe there is still a place for the thinker, craftsman and innovator. I’d much rather take the time necessary to tease out the correct diagnosis, custom-design a treatment plan with my patient, and execute that plan with painstaking attention to detail than be a ‘assembly line’ physician.”
