I want both a direct brow lift (I see some people use this interchangeably with the original brow lift, I mean the one that's directly above the eyebrow) and and upper blepharoplasty. Which surgery should I have done first? How long should I wait between them? Or should I have them done at the same time? Thank you.

Answer: Timing of brow lift and upper blepharoplasty I would always perform a brow lift before an upper blepharoplasty, whether they are performed together or at different times. Performing them together has the advantage of only dealing with one recovery period. If you are going to have them done at different times, I would wait at least 3-6 months after the brow lift before doing the upper blepharoplasty.

Answer: Forehead Lift Staging A brow lift is done to reposition the eyebrows in relation to the underlying skeleton. Lifting the eyebrows subsequently also lifts the eyelid skin. This can be done through various approaches including the hairline, within a crease in the forehead, and at the upper edge of the brow. They each have their advantages and disadvantages. The brow edge lift has the advantage of predictability and ease of operation but the disadvantage of a visible scar. A blepharoplasty is done to remove or reposition the tissue around the eyes to improve the way they look. This can involve removing excess eyelid skin, removing or repositioning the underlying orbital fat, and possibly tightening or repositioning the lid margin. Each patient is different, however, and not all patients will benefit from all of these maneuvers. A blepharoplasty is easily combined with a brow lift for further refinement of the eyelid complex. When considering a staged operation, the brow lift should be done first.See the link below for more information. A detailed examination will help delineate the best surgical option. Consultation with a surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery would be the next best step.
