Restoring fullness to "deflated" eyelids or eyebrows

Otto Joseph Placik, MD answers: Is Brow Lift the only option for deflated eyelids?

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.

I know this may sound somewhat sarcastic but some surgeons advocate fat injections to the area just beneath the outer eyebrow to restore youthful fullness to the eye area. One way of "trying" this out is to use injectable fillers such as restylane.
