Too early to tell if a forehead lift is needed

Jeffrey Zwiren, MD answers: Can excess skin between brows after eyelid surgery be resolved?

I had upper and lower Eyelid surgery, Facelift and Botox on my forehead 3 weeks ago. I didn't want the Eyelid surgery but my doctor insisted. The eyelids are very droopy and there is a wide gap between my eyes, and sagging skin from the inner eye area and between my brows through upper bridge of my nose. I know I need to wait but what might my options be if this does not improve? I'm in my early 40's.

It is probably too early to tell if a forehead lift will be necessary.  The relaxation of your forehead muscles by the botox has clouded the overall situation.  As the botox wears off over the next 3 - 4 months you will need to be rechecked.  If the condition is still present then a brow lift may be your next best option.
