I'm not sure it will help your particular concern...

Hello Rivera, Thanks for your question. Unless you think you are showing too much forehead, a reverse browlift would not be recommended by most surgeons. When I look at your picture, I can see the asymmetry that you describe, but in my opinion, it is the lower eyelids that look to be in need of revision. I see some lateral rounding which may indicate that you might need some type of lower lid tightening procedure to reduce prominence of your eyes. I think the... more

Reverse Browlift?

This can be done in patients that have a high forehead, undermining the posterior hairline and then moving it forward and then fixing it with fixation sutures do it. This will bring the brow forward and is done with an anterior hairline incision. It is a very effective procedure.

Brow lift reversal

I have operated on several post endoscopic brow lift cases. They were all done to lower a hairline that had been moved upward by the surgery. It would certainly be possible to also lower excessively raised brows. I doubt that Botox would give an improvement with your situation , but there would be little to lose by trying it. The asymmetry of the brows is minimal and it is likely there was assymmetry before your operation. If it is the change in your expression that bothers you,... more

May try botox

I would not suggest any surgical treatments. If you are concerned about the high position of the eye brow,you may try Botox to the forehead. This will relax your frontalis muscle and lower the eye brow(all of the frontalis muscle needs to be injected)

Reverse Brow Lift: Is it worth it?

It is possible to lower your hairline if you feel that your forehead hairline is significantly too high. Your picture indicates mild elevation to normal location does not seem to be the case. I would not recommend a reverse brow lift for you (based on your picture), in that it is an invasive procedure with significant scarring. Rather, I would recommend Botox injections for a period of time. Aging will self correct the Endoscopic Brow lift effects soon enough without surgery especially if... more

Reverse Browlift Combined with Hairline Advancement

I have actually performed several of these procedures- a hairline advancement combined with reverse browlift. In order to make sure the hairline stays at a more anterior direction, I utilize Endotine® hooks that secure the scalp skin.

Refverse brow lift

The reverse brow lift will lower the hairline and may drop the eyebrows as well. Having had an endoscopic brow lift before probably will not limit your ability to have this done.

Reverse Browlift

I'm sorry you are not satisfied with the height of your hairline and brows. Years ago we developed a technique to permanently lower a high hairline and brows whether this was due an unwanted inherited physical characteristic or secondary to previous surgery . Perfect symmetry is not a reasonable goal, but this can be improved.

Reverse Browlift

I would recommend to try conservative non surgery first. Like Botox injections to see if the symmetry can be resolved. Thanks for the photo and yes I see the asymmetry but it is not as severe as you describe. Surgery is always an option, but there are risks. Be careful.

Carefully placed Botox may reverse the effect of a brow lift.

I read your concern and reviewed the photo you posted, You have a nice, unoperated appearance of your brows and upper eyelids. Are you waxing your upper eyebrows, or is that their natural shape? If you're waxing, don't remove so much brow hair by the eyebrow tails so you won't have as much of an arched appearance. If this is the natural shape of your eyebrows, consider a Botox treatment to lower them a bit. I would not suggest pursuing further forehead surgery. All... more
