Age 50 & increasingly tired looking face - brow lift and/or upper blepharoplasty? (Photo)

Question

I am 50 and and have used Botox and fillers and the past but am now looking for a more permanent solution to my increasingly tired looking face, especially around the eye/eyebrow area.

Thank you for your question and photo. You may be a candidate for blepharoplasty to rejuvenate your face. A Blepharoplasty procedure can redefine the shape of the eyes by removing any excess skin and repositioning the fat in this area to create a symmetrical appearance that is harmonious with the rest of your facial features.
An endoscopic brow lift may be the best way to address skin laxity on the forehead. This procedure uses small incisions in the hairline to lift and remove excess skin, raising the browline in the process. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon who can discuss your concerns with you and determine the best approach.

"I suggest reaching out to an expert for a formal consultation. I like to recommend my patients start a combination of facial rejuvenation treatments.

1) Skincare with products and microneedling/PRP
2) PDT Light Therapy a few times per month with growth factors
3) Laser treatments like Clear + Brilliant regularly and others (Fraxel, Moxi, Viva, CO2, Erbium, Halo) a few times per year
4) Sculptra injections a few times per year for collagen production with fillers like Juvederm, Restylane, Belotero, Radiesse, and/or Bellafill
5) Thermage/Ultherapy for yearly skin tightening with or without PDO or cone-based Instalift threads for lifting
6) Botox every 2 to 3 months to stop movement lines and prevent lines at rest

Best, Dr. Emer."

Endoscopic brow lift and an upper lid bleph would rejuvenate the upper third of the face.  The brow would lift the middle and lateral third of the brows and the bleph would remove upper eyelid skin excess.

Andrew Miller, MD · Answer

When looking at your photo, you have extra skin on the eyelids as well as a brow which is drooping, especially at the lateral aspect of your eyes. A combination of Endoscopic browlift with upper lid blepharoplasty would do a great job of turning the clock back while making everything appear natural as well. Possibly the lower lids would be good to do too. Be sure that you see a facial specialist for consultation.

HiYou need brow lift surgery and it looks like there is a little excess skin on your upper eyelid, so upper blepharoplasty may also be good. Also, when I evaluate your photo, lower blepharoplasty is also required in terms of problems in your lower eyelids. In addition, there seems to be sagging in the mid-face area. Since there are no other photos, it is difficult to say anything clearly, but it seems like facelift surgery may be beneficial for you.It is important that you could manage the process with a competent surgeon.Have a nice day.

The position of your eyebrows is acceptable, therefore just an upper blepharoplasty can accomplish removal of the hooded skin on your upper eyelids to rejuvenate them. This procedure can be performed under local anesthesia as an outpatient procedure
