One year ago, I had fat removed from the upper eyelid. Now, the skin has deflatted and my eyes look like they have excess skin. My doctor said a Brow lift would correct this but I want to know if I can do anything else.
Aggressive upper eyelid fat removal can have the opposite effect-- leave a hollow appearance. This will also result in a relative excess of skin. Removing this skin will only make your eyes appear more hollowed out. In addition, a brow lift will further accentuate this appearance which is why I usually don't recommend brow lift surgery for someone with very deep set eyes.
The solution is to replace the lost volume in the upper eyelid as well as the brows and temples. Various fillers can be used such as fat, Restylane or Sculptra. If there is still excess skin, I would recommend resurfacing the skin to plump up the collagen with Fraxel laser.
I am 20 years old and have inherited droopy eyebrows. I think an endoscopic procedure could improve my appearance. Am I too young to undergo this type of procedure?
Nina,
I would have to see a photo of your face and brows in order to determine if a brow lift would be of benefit. Most people having brow lifts are doing so due to sagging with age. There is a smaller subset of my patients who are born with brows that are low or shaped in a manner that is not as attractive to them.
I find that Botox injections can have a dramatic effect on lifting and reshaping eye brows. You may want to begin with Botox treatments to see how you like the new position of your brows.
Good luck!
