What Are Non Surgical Alternatives To A Brow Lift?

I got some great answers, thanks to all of the doctors that responded!I did some research and do not think I am ready to go through with a brow lift. I do feel I am a little young and should try other options first. The problem is that I had tried botox about a year ago and didn't get very noticeable results. Could this be that the doctor just didn't do a great job? I would be willing to try botox again, if I know that I have a good chance of lifting the lateral brow portions.

A: Non-surgical alternatives to a brow lift

There are a number of these treatments.  They fall into a couple of main groups:

1. Botox and similar products - to relax the brow depressor muscles, allowing the brow to rise,

2.  fillers (restylane, Juvenderm, etc.), fat grafting and Sculptra - to add volume to deflated areas of the brow & temple area,

3.  non-surgical skin tightening to the forehead - thermage & other RF devices, Ulthera, CO2 laser (traditional or fractional), etc.

 

They all have some trade-offs involved.  See your local PS for a consultation about whether any are right for you.

 

All the best!

Temporal Browlift Better Choice for Lateral Hooding? I Do Not Want Scars in Crows Feet

Temporal Browlift Better Choice for Lateral Hooding? I Do Not Want Scars in Crows Feet

A: Temporal hooding

Yes, in general, temporal hooding is nicely corrected with a temporal brow lift, with an incision hidden in the hair laterally.  Many people who have this also require an upper blepharoplasty, though.  Careful pre-op marking is important to avoid over-resection of the upper eyelid skin when combining and upper bleph. and a forehead lift.

 

All the best,

Would You Recommend Fillers or a Brow Lift For My Tired Appearance? (photo)

I'm 45 and would like to look less tired. I'm considering fillers for the tear trough -my main area of concern- but also I see how low my brow is and the asymmetrical drooping of my upper eyelid (shared by my older relatives). I'm not sure I'm ready for a big procedure like a brow lift - I'm scared of looking like a deer in the headlights. Do you think I could benefit from just fillers, or would I need surgery to really make the look work?

A: Brow lift versus fillers

Here's my opinion on your situation:

1)  you said your tear trough was your main concern.  I agree with your assessment.   Fillers may help this.  You may also require a blepharoplasty for best results, but that's hard to determine without an examination.  See a local plastic surgeon to discuss these options.

2)  Even though the brow position is indeed slightly asymmetrical - your brow position is not particularly low.  A high brow position doesn't look natural, particularly on a man.  Therefore, I don't think you need a browlift, unless you are trying to improve the asymmetry, rather than the overall position - which is a different issue.

 

All the best,
