What Brow Lift Options Are Just As Effective As a Face Lift to Get Rid of Droopy Eyelids?

Will Botox injections lift and smooth my brow as effectively as a brow lift?

A: Droopy eyelids - Browlift or Facelift?

A facelift will do nothing for your eyelids. A facelift addressed the area from your cheeks to jawline, and in our practice always includes the neck (the incisions for face or neck are essentially the same, so why not address both with one surgery?). Eyelids can be addressed through eyelid surgery, and may also benefit from a browlift. When a browlift is indicated, an endoscopic, anterior hairline or traditional approach are all excellen options. These options need to be evaluated and discussed in person.

When is a Face Lift the Best Choice?

At what age is a face lift appropriate?

A: When to have a Facelift

In my practice, I view facial rejuvenation as a stepwise approach to correcting the signs of aging as they occur. Early on, simple treatment of the facial skin using appropriate skin products (toners, peptide serums, etc.) and sunscreens can slow and reverse the early signs of aging. As skin loses it's elasticity and wrinkles become more prominent, Botox and fillers (such as Juvederm) are more appropriate. A facelift is reserved for more significant changes. Typically, this involves deep wrinkles around the mouth and chin, jowling, hollowness under the eyes, and laxity of the skin in front of the ears.

In performing a facelift, the long term correction relies on tightening the deep tissues of the face (SMAS) and not relying on simply pulling the already inelastic skin. Other adjunctive procedures including eye lifts (blepharoplasty), midface correction, fat injections, and neck lifting all help to address individual problem areas. To find what options are right for you, I recommend seeing a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.
