Tags: revision, risk

I had a hairline browlift and upper and lower eyelid surgery. The browlift fell within a few wks. Is it safe to have revisonal forehead lift on the side that dropped and what are the risks. My eye does not look like it has been lifted and I am concerned but I do not want to damage the muscles or nerves. It has been a year since the surgery. What would you suggest to do to make the eye look better and what is safe? Thank You

Without photos, its difficult to give you a specific answer, however, as a general rule open browlifts can be re-done safely. The risks are essentially the same as on the first lift, ie scarring, nerve injury, asymmetry, and incomplete correction. Good Luck!
