Q: Is Brow Lift the only option for deflated eyelids?

A:

The answer to your question depends on what your anatomic problem is. Since you didn't include a photograph, I can't be sure but I can go over several different scenarios.  If you have excess upper eyelid skin, this will be corrected by removing the loose skin with a blepharoplasty. If your eyebrow position is low, it may appear that you have loose skin on the eyelids when it is really your low eyebrow position that is the cause. This would be corrected with a browlift procedure. 

Some patients have droopy brows and excess eyelid skin and will benefit from having both procedures done.  If your eyes appear hollow from too much fat being removed, this may be improved with fat grafting.  If you are unsure about your doctor's recommendation, seek a second opinion from another qualified surgeon.
