When can I have brow lift re-done?

Tp lp2u2, Hi! You have such a nice face. I would not go back to the same surgeon if you are so unhappy. From you picture, your eyebrows seem to be in good position, and I am not sure you needed a brow lift in the first place. That's why you need someone with experience to tell you what procedure will make you... more

Unfortunately, you photo doesn't enlarge, so it is hard to make a totally accurate diagnosis. That said, it looks like you still have brow ptosis (sagging), hooding of the eyelids. I would give it at least 9 months before I re-do the brow lift, and at least a year before I consider laser for a second time... more

I'm sorry to hear you've had a negative experience with your facial procedure.  In general, I ask patients to wait a period of time for swelling to go down and scars to mature a little bit so you can have a complete assessment of the results. That time period is generally 6 months. When you have a... more

Ip2u2, It is okay to have surgery re-done, just wait a few months for the swelling to go away and the tissues to settle. If you rush into it, you may end up making things worse off than they are now. Please do not let the doctor laser your upper lids. Especially so soon after your initial surgery. Good luck.

I am sorry for your unhappiness. Endoscopic browlifts are never as long-term and as durable as other forms of a browlift. My favorite type is to lift the lateral eyebrow with small incisions in the temples without elevating the hairline. But if you have excess skin or wrinkles in the central forehead, you have... more

You can have another surgery, but make sure that you get the correct surgery. Your picture is not a good picture because you are smiling. From what I can tell, you do not need upper blepharoplasty. One of the hardest thing to correct is too high eye brow.

Surgery of the aging upper eyes is always a challenge, as the brow position may create much of the redundant skin you see under the brow and hide the eyelid.  From your pre-op pictures, the medial brow is below the level of the orbital rim and can be considered to have "dropped."  Some of... more

Great advice from other surgeons. Just another comment. Take your time to heal, and then get opinions from a few surgeons for revision surgery. Make sure your expectations are in line with what the surgeons suggest for revision surgery. Make them take the time to explain what and how it will be done. Make sure... more

I would give things time to heal before proceeding with a revision, at least 6 months. This will allow the tissues to settle and the swelling to completely resolve, and then you can proceed with a revision surgery. The real question then is what you may need, either further treatments to the eyelids or the... more

It is probably best to wait a year after an endoscopic browlift before proceeding with another browlift. Full healing should take place so that the eyebrows have healed in their permanent position before attempting any revisions. A coronal approach would probably be the better approach for this problem to... more
