Getting Rid of Eyebrow Tattoo for Brow Lift?

A respected Plastic Surgeon recommended brow lift as an improvement before my son's wedding this June.

Also, my eyelids are droopy in spite of the Blepharoplasty I had. I want the brow lift done. Is it possible to lower the eyebrow tattoos?

Your eyebrows are in good position.

There are a couple of components to your question, and I want to address all of them. First of all, your eyebrows seem to be in pretty good position. I think if you elevate them higher, it might make your face look slightly abnormal, like you are constantly surprised. The "surprised" look was overdone a bit in the nineties and is no longer in.

Eyebrow tattoo and brow lift

The problem with permanent makeup, is that they plae the eyebrow marks where it looks the best on the face. However the descent of soft tissue especailly laterally is not compensated for. Tough call without seeing you.

Eyebrow Tattoo

On the basis of your photograph I would recommend minimal brow elevation medially. The tattoo would not have to be modified. An upper eyelid blepharoplasty revision would be beneficial.

Removing eyebrow tattoos

Judging from your photos, I would leave the tattoos alone and contmeplate the use of a upper lid skin only blepahroplasty. The arch of the brow appears acceptable. If you are set on removing the tattoos there are many different lasers which can be utilizied but this may require multiple sessions over a year with some trial and error to dtermine the best laser for your pigment. It is not without risk.
