I want double eyelid surgery too. I used to use eyelid tape and it stretched my eyelid skin. I have low brows, a line btwn my eyes on my nasal bridge and thick eyelid skin 1) What kind of brow lift would you recommend if at all? I don't think I have significant brow ptosis and just want a subtle lift. 2) Do brow lifts done directly at the brow or through eyelid incisions last long? and if so how long? 3) Can brow lifts cause premature aging (if tissues don't reattach strongly enough)?
Answer: Browlift and Upper Eyelid Surgery
Botox can be used to create a subtle brow lift around the time of your double eyelid surgery. If you absolutely like the look of Botox and the new brow position, a brow lift could be considered.

Answer: Asian double eyelid/eyebrow surgery
Thanks for the photos. I think it's great that you are considering eyebrow/upper eyelid as single aesthetic unit. The answer to your questions is based on how you like the eyebrow to be positioned and shaped. Do you preferred a particular shaped eyebrow? Do you like current eyebrow positions or you like them higher? Do you want just the outer eyebrow to be higher? There are different techniques to position and shape your eyebrows depending on your goals. Once your eyebrow is properly setup and positioned then you can plan the appropriate upper double eyelid surgery. The exact type of upper double eyelid surgery will depend on actually in person evaluation. It's quite common to remove subcutaneous fat if necessary which is just below the muscle and above the septum.
Best Wishes,

Answer: Asian brow aesthetics
You don't have brow ptosis, and I don't think a browlift would improve your appearance. With Asian brow aesthetics, a flatter, more gentle contour is preferrable over a severe arch (think Fergie from Black Eyed Peas). Even if you were to want a more pronounced arch, a subtle "Botox browlift" could achieve this look, which would be a far better option than surgery at your age if you were dead-set on achieving this look.
As you know with your use of eyelid tape, an upper blepharoplasty will make a significant improvement in the appearance of your eyes, giving you a softer, more feminine look.

Answer: Good candidate for eyelid crease surgery
As mentioned by others, you are a good candidate to have "double eyelid" surgery. The browlift is another matter. You do not have brow ptosis, but your brow contour is a bit flat. You could achieve a subtle arch to the brow with a conservative lateral hairline [temporal incision] browlift that would increase the distance between the brows and eyelids, but could give a subtle elevation to the outside portion of the brow to create a lateral arch.
You would need an in person consultation.

Answer: Irregular trichophytic forehead lift.
Irregular trichophytic forehead lift is what you need to raise your brows slightly and removing the excess skin. This can be done behind the hairline as well but will raise your hairline. It does not cause premature aging.
