Should I do a brow lift at the same time as a face/necklift?

Both these operations are commonly done at the same time. The real question is: do you need one, the other, or both? One point is that a brow lift will do nothing for lower lid laxity (or bags.) Along those lines, if you have a great amount of excess skin in your upper lids, the only thing to fix it is an upper lid blepharoplasty.Find a surgeon who can explain exactly what each surgery would do, and how they would work in combination *for you.* It is important that your treatment is tailored to your particular face and situation. I have done all of these surgeries in different combinations, and would be happy to consult with you further with some photos, and possibly a personal consultation. 

most of the time when surgeons do facelifts they do the brow lift too. you should consult you doctor about this surgery for any further questions or conerns

The main question to answer when deciding to do a brow lift
is whether the brow is in an appropriate position. If the brow is low, then
elevating it with a brow lift may help you.



A brow lift elevates the eyebrows to place them into a more
natural position. In a woman the aesthetic eyebrow has a gentle arc and is
peaked. The peak should be at the lateral limbus (the lateral border of the
colored part of the eye) and about 1cm above the orbital rim. Your surgeon will
help determine whether your eyebrows are in the appropriate position. It may be
that you would benefit from a second surgery to remove of excess upper eyelid
skin, without the need for a brow lift. The tail of the eyebrow can be lifted
by injecting some Botox into the crow’s feet and under the tail of the eyebrow.
A brow lift, in a patient who doesn’t need one, can make the person appear
constantly surprised, unnatural, and can make the person’s upper-lid area
appear hollow and aged.



If a patient does need a brow lift, this can be performed at
the same time as a face/neck lift.
