Droopy brows after blepharoplasty - should I get a brow lift?

Feelinggreat55Feb 29, 2024
Is it common to need a brow lift after undergoing multiple eyelid surgeries? I initially had a ptosis surgery that ended up with overcorrection in that eye and droopiness in the other eye. I then underwent a revision surgery that resulted in significant hooding, no visible eyelid and eyelid retraction. Instead of looking more youthful, I now have very unattractive, elderly looking eyes. How many surgeries are reasonable to have a surgeon perform before looking elsewhere?

On Photo 2, it appears as though both brows are symmetrical in height and position. It is very difficult to comment on any upper eye lid skin excess on the photos provided. Your surgery was relatively recent. It is best that you discuss any concerns with your operating surgeon.
