Is a brow lift (forehead lift) better to raise sagging eyelids than a blepharoplasty?
Great question. Rejuvination of the eyelids often involves addressing both the upper eyelids as well as the brow. Some people have severe brow ptosis (droop) while others suffer more from excess upper eyelid skin and the brow is in relatively good position.
There are several options for brow and upper eyelid rejuvination. A lateral brow lift or temple lift is a relatively non-invasive technique that addresses the side of the brows and elevates the brow to its more natural position without creating a surprised look. Other techniques include an endoscopic brow lift with or without the endotine system, a coronal brow lift which entails making an incsion across the entire scalp, a pretrichial lift, and a direct brow lift.
In my opinion, I would choose the least invasive option that will give you the best, most natural result with the least amount of down time and the best longevity. In my experience this has been a lateral brow lift with an upper blepharoplasty.
On Nov 22 I got a revision lower blepharoplasty in right eye. Everything was fine till I woke up on the 29. My eye was bloodshot and more concerning was the top layer of my eye "scrunches" when I turn my head to the left and my iris to to the outer side of my right eye. A few days later the redness has subsided but the top layer still "scrunches." My eye does not itch and I can close it all the way. I don't know if I have chemosis. I am worried and want it to go away fast.
The condition you have is called chemosis and is rarely serious. This can happen following blepharoplasty and usually resolved with time. I would use artificial tears and an ocular lubricant and follow up with your surgeon.
