Dry eyes from endoscopic brow lift?

Question

Hi, I already have dry eyes from previous accutane use and wonder if an endoscopic brow lift could make my eyes worse. I have never had any surgery done before and I don’t want a too dramatic lift. But even so, could this procedure possibly interact with my tear glands or can one have a bad reaction to the endontine implants making my already dry eyes worse? Is it even possible to have a bad reaction to the endontine implantats? Thank you for your help.

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.
