Blepharoplasty and brow lift - should get a revision or do both surgeries again? (photos)

Question

Hello A surgeon here suggested I should get a brow lift and a blepharoplasty... HOWEVER, I already had BOTH 2 years ago... does that mean I should get a revision or do both surgeries AGAIN?

Randal Haworth, MD, FACS · Answer

If you had a brow lift and blepharoplasty two years ago and are not satisfied with the results, you may consider a revision surgery to address the areas of concern. A revision surgery can involve adjustments to the original surgery or a repeat of the same procedure, depending on the specific issues you are experiencing. It's important to discuss your concerns with a board-certified plastic surgeon who has experience in revision surgery, as they can assess your individual case and recommend the best course of action.

Best of luck !

Both your eyelids and brow seem to be in good position.  There is a well outlined crease for the eyelids, and the brow position appears to be natural.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

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.

Andrew Miller, MD · Answer

Based on your photos, you need neither of those procedures. You don't have a heavy eyelid crease and your brows are in proper position. Further surgery at this point probably won't make any difference at all and could lead to problems down the road. Make sure you are seeing experienced facial specialists for consultation

Connie Hiers, MD, FACS · Answer

No, you do not need to do either right now, or you might have some eye issues. I would suggest treatments like micro-needling and radiofrequency, like Secret, to help tighten and improve skin texture.

Mark L. Mazow, MD, FACS · Answer

It's important to understand what concerns you are trying to address. Why did you go see a surgeon two years after having surgery.? Was it for this or for another issue? From the photos you submitted I can't see a significant surgical issue, but that would involve a detailed review of your history, review of photos from before the first operation, a detailed physical exam and discussion of possible options. Revision surgery  should be undertaken only if there is an understanding between the patient and surgeon on realistic goals. You should see an ASOPRS affiliated Oculoplastic surgeon for such a visit. Best of luck.
