I understand why a lot of surgeons on here encourage us to get blepharoplasty first before microblading. But what if my natural eyebrows are barely there anymore? The bottoms of my brows are so sparse (especially underneath my right brow). I don’t see how these brows would really help a surgeon to carve out my eyes.

Answer: Upper eyelid blepharoplasty Hi,The eyebrow hair is not a guide for the amount of skin required for excision during a blepharoplasty. Some surgeons use a rough estimate of 20 mm between the lash line and the brow after skin excision as a safe distance, but this is just a rough guide. An experienced surgeon will determine the appropriate amount of skin to be excised based on skin redundancy and a "pinch test."Best,

Answer: It's best to wait until after your brow microblading to have a blepharoplasty I don't see much room for a blepharoplasty on you except for very minor asymmetry and so in your case you could probably do the microblading first. But in general a patient should wait until after their upper eyelid surgery.You may also simply feel like the eyes themselves look different after microblading and not have any surgery for awhile.Chase Lay MD
