My left eye sags, especially when I smile. Also there are deep lines in my forehead, because I constantly feel the need to raise my eyebrows.
Often people seek eyelid or brow rejuvenation without knowing precisely what the issue is. It can be difficult to know whether the brow is too low or the upper eyelids are too full. In your case I see brow asymmetry with the left eyebrow sitting lower than the right. However, the main issue with your eyelids is a problem called ptosis. A ptosis repair will tighten the upper eyelid elevator muscle and elevate the eyelids. If you were to pursue browlifting as well it should be conservative and aim to maintain the flat brow shape that is masculine in appearance. Applying the typical browlift to a man can result in overly arched and elevated eyebrows which has a feminizing effect on a man's eyes.
Thank you for your question.

How can I determine which I need?? I have seen two excellent facial plastic surgeons and I've heard two different stories. One is saying I need a browlift and an upper bleph would cause my brow to drop. The other doctor is saying I need the upper bleph and I would look "done" with the browlift. I tend to like the browlift guy better and can see how raising my lateral brow would look pretty good if he doesn't go crazy. How can I tell what I need? Thank you all!!!
Patients who desire to rejuvenate their eyes often have a combination of brow descent and extra upper eyelid skin. Upper eyelid skin is treated by a Blepharoplasty procedure whereas brow descent is treated by Endoscopic Browlift. To confuse the matter, both extra eyelid skin and brow descent are often present.
To determine which procedures are needed to rejuvenate the eyes, I first determine if the brow is descended or if it is in a good position. The eyebrow should lie on top of the bony orbital rim in men, and should be slightly above in women. If in fact the brow is too low, I then perform a simple test (see video). With a finger, I simulate what an Endoscopic Browlift would accomplish. If that resolves the appearance of extra eyelid skin, then a blepharoplasty is not needed (as is the case in the video). However, if there remains extra skin, then I recommend both a Blepharoplasty and an Endoscopic Browlift.
I just had an endoscopic browlift 10 days ago. My brows do look better than before, but they are not as lifted, particularly the lateral brow, as I had expected. I asked my doctor about it, and he said they will continue to lift more with some time, but I can't find any information about that online.
Endoscopic browlift will FALL slightly in the months following surgery. The maximum brow elevation that you will see will be immediately following surgery. In anticipation of the descent of the brow during the healing phase, we will often slightly overcorrect the brow position knowing that it will drop. Endoscopic browlift is a great technique but not appropriate for all. If you have heavy brows or a severe brow droop you might be better served by techniques such as tricophytic or coronal type browlift.
