No results after lateral brow lift. Alternatives?

Question

I am almost 20 years old. I got a direct lateral brow lift done in order to lengthen my eyes and achieve an exotic cat eye look. The results were amazing right after the surgery but they disappeared within the next 12 hours at most. Since then I feel upset as I haven't found any alternatives. I saw other girls claiming that botox didn't work for them and people recommend them surgery and viceversa, so my conclusion is that nothing works when you are this young. Please, am I right?

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.

It's important to keep in mind that every individual's anatomy, healing process, and results from any procedure can vary significantly. Age can be a factor in some cosmetic procedures, but it's not always a determining factor.

At almost 20 years old, you may still be experiencing some facial changes and maturation, which can affect the results of a cosmetic procedure. Additionally, a direct lateral brow lift is a surgical procedure that involves making incisions, repositioning the brow, and removing excess tissue. As with any surgical procedure, there are risks and potential complications that can affect the outcome.

Botox can also be used to achieve a similar effect by relaxing the muscles that pull down the eyebrows and creating a more lifted appearance. However, Botox injections are temporary and will need to be repeated every few months to maintain the effect.

It's essential to consult with a qualified plastic surgeon or dermatologist who can evaluate your individual case and determine the best course of action. They will be able to provide you with personalized advice and recommendations based on your specific anatomy and goals.

Remember that cosmetic procedures should only be done after careful consideration and with realistic expectations. The results may not always be exactly as expected, and there are always potential risks and complications to consider. Open communication with your surgeon or provider is crucial to ensure that you fully understand the procedure, its limitations, and potential outcomes.

I hope this helps,
best of luck !
