I would not recommend either procedure

S. Randolph Waldman, MD answers: Am I a good candidate for a brow lift and upper blepharoplasty surgery?

I have just turned 35 and noticed that my eyes are starting to look old. My eyebrows have dropped slightly and my upper eyelids always look tired and little puffy no matter how much I sleep. I have also noticed that my eyes no longer look as open and have the nice almond shape they had when I was in my 20's. So I would like to know if a brow lift combined with a blepharoplasty would be the right procedures to fix the problems I just mentioned or would just a brow lift by it self be sufficient?

If you walked into my practice I would not recommend either procedure to you. I might instead attempt to provide slight elevation of your eyebrows using carefully placed BOTOX in an attempt to do a "Pharmacologic Browlift". Otherwise sit back and enjoy your youth!
