A: Browlift is an option, but hold off on blepharoplasty

By William Portuese, MD - Seattle Facial Plastic Surgeon

According to the picture the patient has brow ptosis and a browlift would seem to be in order. I would probably hold off on doing blepharoplasty based on the amount of excess skin present once the brows are lifted and resuspended. You can always perform blepharoplasty as a secondary procedure down the road... more

A: Try Botox to elevate your brow before considering brow lift surgery

By Brooke R. Seckel, MD - Boston Plastic Surgeon

I do see the medial (near the nose) depression of your brow which is bothering you. A brow lift with resection of the frown muscles will improve your medial brow position. However, this would leave scars which are unacceptable on a young person like you. Comboining brow lift with blepharoplasty is very risky... more

A: Browlift and blepharoplasty in a male

By Jeffrey E. Schreiber, MD - Baltimore Plastic Surgeon

It appears as though your eyebrows are in a good position for a male. If you lift your eyebrows, it may give you a surprised look and you may not be happy. However, removing some of your upper eyelid skin may help to get rid of the tired look of your eyes and improve their appearance.

A: Blepharoplasty and Browlift

By Farbod Esmailian, MD - Orange County Plastic Surgeon

Judging your photos, I would agree with the rest of the surgeons here. You have a youthful appearance and have a male position for the eyebrows. You are not a candidate for any periorbital surgery and would recommend like the rest about perhaps some subtle grooming of the eyebrows. Good luck.

A: Browlift and eyelid surgery

By Steven Wallach, MD - Manhattan Plastic Surgeon

Your photo shown looks like that of a youthful upper 1/3 of the face. I do not think a browlift or eyelid surgery would be recommended.

A: Proceed with caution

By Otto Joseph Placik, MD - Chicago Plastic Surgeon

Your pictures depict what appears to be a very young individual. This is great news! I have to agree with the other excellent surgeons here and recommend that you avoid a blepharoplasty and begin with subtle grooming of the eyebrows. If this does not achieve your goals you may want to consider a brow lift.... more

A: Too Young

By Leslie H. Stevens, MD - Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon

From the looks of your photo, a brow lift would be the wrong thing to do. I would give you a feminizing look and based on estimates of your age, it would not last long. I think the best thing for you is to see an experienced esthetician in eyebrow shaping by waxing and tweezing at a salon. Shaping your... more

A: Brow Lift

By Theodore Katz, MD - Philadelphia Plastic Surgeon

If you do a brow lift, I would recommend no blepharoplasty at the same time as it appears that the lift itself may give you enough improvement in the upper lid heaviness. This assumes that you have tried the Botox or Dysport (but I feel this is unlikely to give you significant improvement). ... more

A: Candidate for browlift?

By Brent Moelleken, MD - Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon

You look awfully young to be having this type of surgery. Many patients simply have a more "brooding" brow, and do not need to try to conform to many of the published norms for brow positioning. Instead of making the patient look more handsome, excessive surgery can have the unintended... more

A: Endoscopic forehead lift is a very good option for you

By Kenneth D. Steinsapir, MD - Los Angeles Oculoplastic surgeon

Dear Dbk In looking at your photograph, I am almost certain that a forehead lift alone will be what you need to improve the appearance of the upper eyelids. This would allow preservation of the upper eyelid fold. It is important for a masculine appearance to maintain as much of the upper eyelid... more
