Eyebrowlift & Upper Eyelid Which Method?
I want my upper eyelid more noticable & my eyebrows are too droopy. But find a complete forehead lift (both methods) too drastic. Although I'm getting a co2 fractional laser treatment (2-3 treatments) I dont want noticable browscares. I do have 2 deep forehead wrinkels, but dont want injecables.Prefer 1 totall solution for this all. What are my options? Which treatment would be wise?

Eyebrowlift & Upper Eyelid Which Method?
For what you are describing it sounds like you would benefit from upper eyelid blepharoplasty. That is the most effectictive method to achieve a crisp upper eyelid. As far as the droopy eyebrows, you could also try Botox to lift them up a bit but would not give you the same results as a surgical lift, without a photo it's difficult to determine which procedure would be best for you.

Eyebrow vs. upper eyelid lift
Posting pictures would be helpful but short of that you can follow the link below to see whether you need a brow lift or an upper eyelid lift. Good luck.

Browlift
If there is a facial rejuvenation surgery that is over-recommended and often overdone these days, it is without question the browlift. Look no further than the celebrity photo magazines for pictures of stars who look like they have just sat down on a plate of tacks. The goal of aesthetic plastic surgery should be to make a person look better and more youthful, not merely different, and certainly not as though one is perpetually surprised. My goal is to provide my patients with results which...

Forehead Rejuvenation Options
Surgical and non surgical options exist to rejuvenate an aging forehead. Laser resurfacing and chemical peels can be used to address the mild to moderate wrinkling of the skin. Botox or Dysport can also soften the wrinkles across the forehead and between the brows. However, if the wrinkles are a result of using your forehead (frontalis muscle) to lift your brows because of either low brows and/or excess skin on the upper eyelid, then a surgical option is required. There are several surgical...

Eyelid Rejuvenation and Brow Lift
With drooping brows the most common technique used today is the endoscopic brow lift. I use 5 short incisions that are beyond the hairline and are therefore hidden. Good results can be achieved without the ear to ear incision of the open brow lift. During your preoperative evaluation it would be determined if a brow lift alone is enough to rejuvenate your eyes or upper eyelid surgery is needed as well. If an upper lid blepharoplasty is needed the scar will end up in...

Forehead lift and upper blepharoplasty
Forehead lifts can often be done endoscopically through 3-5 very small scalp incisions that are usually well hidden. This will also correct lateral brow hooding. An upper lid blepharoplasty can be combined with this to "OPEN" your eyes a bit.

Brow vs. Upper Eyelid Lift
The limited lateral browlift is a nice technique for elevating the eyebrows in a mild fashion to create likely the look you seek. With this procedure, the incision can be largely concealed within the hairline. An upper lid blepharoplasty may be helpful as well to further open the eyes.

Eyelid or eyebrow surgery
Certainly, it is impossible to say without seeing photos of you. I usually say that my small incision forehead lifts include upper lid surgery, but the reverse is not true. Certainly, upper lid surgery alone will not help the wrinkles in your forehead. Some doctors will try to alleviate certain lines in the forehead during an upper lid bleph through the same incision but it is not an integral part of the procedure.

What's best brow lift or upper eyelid?
Without a photo there's no way to make an insightful observation. In general this is how a plsatic and cosmetic surgeon or an occuloplastic surgeon would evaluate the fullness in the upper eyelids to decide which is the proper surgical procedure.
IMHO, it's imperative that the eyebrow position be determined, compared to the aesthetic ideal, as part of any upper eyelid/brow lift surgery.
To do this, the plastic and cosmetic surgeon or occuloplastic surgeon stands...

Forehead lift and blepharoplasty
It sounds like you probably need a combination of eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) and brow lift. Brow lift is most commonly done endoscopically nowadays (unless there is a reason not to) so there is no noticeable scars with this approach. The scar from upper eyelid surgery is usually not noticeable as well. During the brow lift procedure it is also possible to weaken the frontal is muscle which creates your forehead wrinkle thus solving two problem with one surgery. Having said that,...
