I agree with the comments of the other doctors. Both procedures together are probably unnecessary. If anything, a conservative upper lid skin excision would help to re-establish the look you want to be seeing in the mirror.
Less is Sometimes More
Richard W. Westreich, 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?
