One Doctor Says Browlift, the Other Says Upper Bleph? What to Do?

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!!!

A: Brow lift or Upper Lid Blepharoplasty?

The answer lies in your mirror. When you elevate your brow, does it look better? If so and if your brow is below the underlying bony rim, then you do need a brow lift to look your best. However, you may also need an upper lid blepharoplasty. Often the two procedures are done together. The trick is to find a surgeon that is conservative so that either procedure is not over-done. Viewing your photos, it appears that your brow could be improved with a lift, and the excess skin in your upper lids isn't severe, so the blepharoplasty would be a simple removal of a small amount of skin. Another option is to have the brow lift done and see how the lids look. They will be better and maybe acceptable. If not, you can do the lids at a later date under local anesthesia. Recovery time would be minimal.

Hope this helps you, and good luck.
