36, Year Old with an New Born - Austin, TX

Thank you : )

Thank you, the reason why my eyebrow is still a little off because one side of my face, the bone is flatter on my left side but I'm still happy with it. So you might want to ask the PS who is performing surgery on you.

I have always had the lower eyebrow. I will ask the PS about the bone being flatter - Thanks for your help!

THIS CAN BE ME IN ANOTHER 4 MONTHS! MY INCISION IS 12-14 INCHES ACROSS MY FOREHEAD, EYEBROWS ARE NO DIFFERENT THAN BEFORE. LOOKS LIKE I HAVE BEEN IN A SEVERE AUTO ACCIDENT AND MY HEAD WENT THRU THE WINDSHIELD. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS WAY IS NOT DONE ANYMORE. MY DOCTOR DID IT 2 MONTHS AGO. ITCHING ON WHOLD TOP OF HEAD IS UNBELIEVABLE.

Hi, sorry you don't see any difference as you mention. Yes from I understood that is the old way of doing that procedure but maybe there's a reason why your PS chose that procedure for you. Give it some time, I was told it can take a whole year but I started healing in 2 months. Every now and then I feel sharp pain. Sorry about what your going through but keep us posted

No I don't think I did 1953, my recovery time was 2 months. I heal very slow. I didn't have pain just numbness, it wasn't painful to me but everyone is different. I only had headaches for the first two days

Did you have the type of brow lift I had? If so what was your recovery time?

You know that is good question. I don't think he did, but not 100% sure. He never mention he was and it didn't feel like it was shaved.. Thanks!!

Aida33- just checking to see how you are doing. How are your scars? Are you still very happy with the outcome of your surgery? I am going to a consultation this week for the same procedures you had done. Is there anything that you wish you had asked about? Sorry for all the questions - you have been so helpful in the past and I'm feeling excited, anxious, scared, etc - I think you can relate. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

Hi Cindy, sorry for the late reply. Yes my scars healed, you can barely see any scars. I posted some new photos but I need to update photos. Check them out. Be sure to tell the doctor you don't want to look like you have hollow eyes. Some times I feel like I do but that may just be me so check out the photos. I would like to get some fillers on the lower part of eyes maybe that will help some but over all I'm still pleased and happy. So be sure to tell the doctor you don't want to look like you have hollow eyes unless you that look. In order not to look that way not to take to much fat from you upper eyelid. Are you getting you eye brows done as well? Because remember I got my eyelids done and eye brows lift? I know it is scary but make sure you and the doctor are on the same page and if you have an iPad show him photos of what you don't want to look like.. If I think of anything else I'll send you another message.. Trying think of anything else while the baby is entertaining herself.

Yes I will tell dr I don't want the hollow eyes. Glad to hear you are still very pleased with the outcome. Yes I am going to have an endoscopic brow lift and eyelid lift on my uppers - I have one brow that lower than the other one - that is what started me on this journey. I really hate that eyebrow and would live to have it the same height as the other one. I am very excited to have the surgeries but at the same time I am terrified that I won't like the outcome. Thanks for all your input. I appreciate it. If you think of anything else for me to ask or just something I should just know, please let me know. Thanks again.

My eyebrow lift was done with a 10" scar across my forehead, under the hairline. Incessant itching on my scalp-neuropathy. I have to take 2 oral medications for possibly 6 months to rets of my life. It makes me feel lousy. He severed 2 nerves in my scalp. He made the incision from my ear across the forehead to over the other ear. It caused itching in my ear, couldn't touch this ear for over three months it was so painful. Now it itches all the time into the ear canal. He admitted he went through all this and decided not to lift the brows because he was afraid I couldn't close them at bedtime. I got my money back. Should have sued, but had to sign a release so I can't. If anything goes wrong, DO NOT sigh the release because you cannot sue him. He admitted malpractice, but it doesn't do me any good at this point. Good luck to all.

Thank you lovingmefirst, I know it's been forever since i post it anything. I been so busy with work and with my 1 year old. Ok so after 9 months later I guess I'm ok with it. I still have one brow higher than the other.. Some friends and family said they liked the way I looked before my surgery . But oh well what's done is done. Sometimes I feel like it made me look more older. I guess because the fat was removed from my eyes.. So sometimes I have mix feelings, At first I was like yay I love it!! Now I'm not sure. I don't have to many photos to share. But I'll send these for now and send more later with out eye makeup and with..The great out come is that I barely have any scars... Thank goodness! I'm off tomorrow so I'll update again... Here are some photos for now but for sure I'll update better photos tomorrow while getting ready for a birthday party...

Hi Aida33, You are beautiful! I think you got a great result. I have the same issue - one brow is lower but that eye sits lower on my face so I guess even with a brow lift, the brow will be lower. So if you had it to do all over again, would you do it?

Good question cindyF, if I had to do it again? Absolutely!!! but I would do it differently . When I did the procedure I was 36 I am now 37, I would of only focused on one side of my eye where the lower brow is and just remove a little bit skin from my eyelid.. I just think he removed to much skin from my eyelid for my age.. Or waited until I was like 45-50, get a brow lift and remove sagging skin from my eyelid.. But I'm stuck like this so I'll make the best of it : ) but I would do it again but differently.

I'm so glad to hear that you would do it again - I've heard several people on this site day they wouldn't. I think your eyes look great! And they've healed so nicely. If it's any consolation, the skin on your eyelids will probably start covering the lid platform as you age. So when you are older, your eyes will look better than most other people your age. Thanks for your update!
