Am I a good candidate for a temporal brow lift? (Photos)

Question

And will it lift my eye region at all? I would like to give the illusion of my eyes being more upward tilted by lifting (not removing!! important distinction) some of the hood upward, stretching my eyes, in addition to lifting my brows. So far I've only seen this kind of result after "ponytail" lifts though, which I know are super pricey and more of a marketing gimmick. Are my goals unrealistic, or even suitable? Thanks! Attached pics of how I look now vs the result I want.

As we age, our eyelids naturally sag and droop. A combination approach would be best to see visible improvement. In terms of non-surgical treatment options, I would recommend a Chemical Brow Lift (using Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, or Jeuveau) and filler injections to rejuvenate the temples, eyebrow, eyelid, eye troughs, upper eye hollows, and forehead. I typically combine this with Ultherapy and thread lifting to lift the brow; RF and skin tightening laser treatments to stimulate collagen production and rejuvenate the skin; and laser or superficial RF devices for improvements in texture, color, and any crepey skin around the eyes as needed. In some cases, surgery is the best solution to achieve the desired results. See an expert for a formal consultation. Best, Dr. Emer.​

Thank you for posting your question and photos. You may want to consider the benefits of a liquid eye lift, which uses dermal filler to reshape the eye and may produce the upward-tilted appearance you’re looking for.
Dermal filler injections can refresh the eyes and make them appear more vibrant and awake. Botox Cosmetic can also be combined with this approach to give the eyebrows a lift. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified injector who can assess your concerns and suggest the best treatment options.

Yes. I would highly recommend seeing a board eligible or board certified plastic surgeon for a physical exam and accurate analysis with safe recommendations for potential surgical options. Best of luck!

You might wish to consider a filler browlift, which has been routinely used for years to restore the upward outward flare of the outer third of the eyebrows, which seems to be what is desired here. This can be supplemented with a couple of microdroplet of Botox to prolong the effect. The results of the filler are immediate and there is typically little to no significant downtime from this, as opposed to expensive and invasive surgical procedures. Make sure to consult an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist. Best of luck.

I am not sure that you need any kind of lift in forehead area? However, if you decide to do so, endoscopic brow/forehead lift would be my choice. In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon, familiar with this procedure, is recommended. Good luck.
