Which procedure will give me this lifted effect for my eyes? (Photo)

Question

I am looking for a lifted effect for my eye area like in the picture attached but not sure if a temporal brow lift would help achieve this since I’m also looking to lift the cheek portion as well. Would this be a combination of 2 procedures? Is there a cost estimate for achieving the results I’m seeking?

Hello and thank you for your question. A formal evaluation would be needed to determine the best treatment. There are both surgical and non-surgical options to correct excess upper eyelid skin, depending on the situation.

For less significant upper eyelid skin excess or more mild improvement, there are nonsurgical treatments: Radiofrequency (Thermage or Venus Legacy/Viva), injectable fillers, and a Botox brow lift can help contour the eyebrows and lift the eyelid skin.

Surgery (browlift and/or upper blepharoplasty) is a great option for more significant improvement- for example if the hooded eyelids have more excess skin present.

Dr. Donald Groves is an expert facial plastic surgeon that I work with, who specializes in these types of procedures. It is important that if you are considering surgery that you go to someone who is well trained and very experienced with these delicate operations to get the best results. I suggest getting a consultation with an experienced cosmetic dermatologist and facial sculpting expert, or an aesthetic facial plastic surgeon like Dr. Groves; we are both located right here in Los Angeles.

Best, 
Dr. Emer

If you are considering a temporal browlift then this can be extended inferior in front of the ears to create a mid facelift as well.  The cost is $10,000.

Based on these photos and short of in-person evaluation, it is my impression that cheek, temple and lateral brow augmentation with filler or better, fat grafts, would create desired change. In person or teleconference consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with expertise in facial rejuvenation is recommended. Good luck.

From the photo provided and from the kind of lift you seek, it would appear that both a simple filler temple augmentation and  simple matter to perform an HA filler Browlift, which would both achieve the augmentation you desire in the lower temple region, as well as the more feminine upward and outward lift of the outer thirds of the eyebrows. In other words, one ten minute properly performed filler treatment to achieve both objectives. The procedure takes about ten minutes to perform in experienced hands; the results are immediate and there is little to no significant downtime. I have personally been performing this procedure for many years with very gratifying results. You would be wise to consult with an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist filler expert. Hope this helps and best of luck.
