Revision eyebrow lift. Would scar tissue interfere with new surgery? (Photo)

Question

I had a direct brow lift ay 2022 and did not receive the results I would like. Scars have healed pretty good but are indent and not as high as I would like. Should I get another direct or a different lift. Would scar tissue interfere with new surgery?

Randal Haworth, MD, FACS · Answer

If you are not satisfied with the results of your direct brow lift, it may be worth considering a revision surgery or a different type of brow lift. It's important to schedule a consultation with an experienced and reputable plastic surgeon who can evaluate your specific situation and discuss your options.

In terms of the scars from your previous surgery, it's possible that they may impact the outcome of a revision surgery. Scar tissue can be more difficult to work with and may limit the extent to which a surgeon can make changes to the area. However, this will depend on the extent and location of the scarring, as well as the type of revision surgery being considered.

It's important to communicate your concerns and goals with your surgeon and discuss any potential limitations or risks associated with a revision surgery. They can evaluate your individual situation and make recommendations based on their experience and expertise. Be sure to take the time to research and choose a surgeon who has a proven track record of success with brow lift surgeries and who you feel comfortable working with.

I hope this helps,
best of luck !

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Hello! Thank you for your question l recommend you upper eyelid surgery ,I don't think you have much of a problem with your eyebrows but your eyelids are too thick with eyelid surgery will make your eyes look more attractive
Thank you ! regards

I'm not sure why your surgeon chose a direct browlift because you appear to be a candidate for endoscopic browlift, subcutaneous browlift, or lateral browlift. The frontal photo doesn't show the eight of the brows. I would recommend that you get a second opinion.

Thomas Spalla, MD · Answer

You could consider another brow lift if it's been over a year. Options would be to consider a tricophytic or an endoscopic brow lift at this point. Either should be able to give you the results you desire. There are pros and cons of each. Discuss these with your local plastic surgeon.

Christopher C. Lo, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. I agree that the brow lift incision has healed nicely. However, if you still feel like the brows are low, I would consider speaking with your surgeon regarding other types of brow lift-- notably the endoscopic brow lift. This may help address your brow ptosis. Best of luck.

William Portuese, MD · Answer

Even after a Direct brow lift, you still have brow ptosis, therefore a coronal approach brow lift would be a better solution.
