I'm booked for upper bleph in 3 weeks due to hooded eyes and excess skin. The surgeon said my eyebrows are a little low but 'you don't really want a forehead lift' I REALLY don't. However, I read your brows can drop after bleph, due to over compensation to lift the eyes. How do I know if I do this? I don't want my eyebrows lower. The surgeon suggested not having Botox in my forehead but I have lines and want it done once recovered from surgery. Can forehead Botox be done and not cause droop?
