I had an upper eyelid lift about 12 years ago. I went for a consultation, and the surgeon said the skin above my eye is too thin,so I can't have another upper eye lift. He suggested a direct brow lift, where the incision is made in my eyebrow, or directly above. The stitches disappear in about a year. This is the second surgeon who independently recommended this.
