Ptosis or heavy brows/lids? What procedure will fix this? (Photos)

Madisonn4527Jan 25, 2026

My eyes look different, one looks startled while the other (which I happen to prefer) looks a little more sleepy. I don’t know if the reason is ptosis or if it could be a consequence of the fact that I have heavy brows that I constantly have to lift. Should I look to get a surgery that addresses possible ptosis, or something like a temporal brow lift?

You have a very high forehead. The distance between your eyebrow and hairline is too long. I would use an open incision at the hairline junction to lower the hairline and raise the eyebrows. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

It may be possible that a mid facelift, which extends into the hairline, can be used to create lateral and inferior pull to correct the arching of your eyebrows. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

It is difficult to evaluate your hairline, forehead and brows because it appears you’re holding your browse up in all of these photos. If this indeed is the case, I would need to see new photos with your brows relaxed. You will get the most feminization from a rhinoplasty to reverse the aging n...

Hello, thank you for your question and for sharing your photo. A temporal brow lift can lift the outer part of the eyebrows and make the eyes look more open and fresh. This can slightly improve balance in the upper face. However, it does not actually make the forehead smaller. In some people,...
