30 year old female, would temporal brow lift enhance my arch & open that hooded part of my eye? (Photos)

Question

Genetic heavy brow/droopy eye/hooded. I have been researching surgical procedures to lift my brows/open the hooded area of my eye. I seen from research usually eyelid surgery isn't recommended at my age however I have already attempted botox/filler treatments with little to no results. My brows are very straight and droop at the arch giving a sad appearance. Would a temporal brow lift be best for me to enhance the arch and open that hooded part of my eye? I’d like to achieve a more lifted tail end of the brow.

A temporal brow lift will focus all of the lifting of the lateral third of your brow. Considerations are that your hairline is relatively high above your brow, and to hide the incision maximally you’d like that incision along the junction of your forehead skin and your hairline. The incision is further from the brow, henc the power of the lift will be slightly reduced. On the plus side, temporal brow lifts can be done under local anesthesia only, reducing your cost. Best wishes.

A brow lift can be performed to do 3 things: lower the hairline, decrease the vertical height of the forehead and change the shape of eyebrows and the position.

These photos suggest a strong forehead brow and a sloping forehead which contribute to that heavy, tired look.  We reshape the bone at the time of a browlift which will open your eyes and appear very attractive.  Watch our videos to learn more.
