I'm 44 and lost weight. I've been on a de consults but that last one raised a new point I'm not sure about. He said I need an extended face lift with an Extended subSMAS neck lift. I had my lower & upper eyes done in May. He said I would still need a lower eye skin pinch as the lift wood cause some extra skin. That made sense time but what caught me off guard was he said I also need a brow lift. I don't need one now but if not done skin the facelift it would cause bunching & an unnatural look.
Answer: Brow lift with facelift. This is a question I get with my own patients all the time. In my opinion a brow lift is very complimentary with a facelift and I routinely do them at the same time. I agree with what your surgeon is saying. When doing an extended deep plane facelift you can lift the tissue in a more vertical direction around the midface and cheeks. This provides a better result in my opinion, but can cause some bunching in the lateral brow area if a brow lift is not done at the same time. Hope that helps.Best,Matthew Tamplen MD

Answer: Facelift Hard to know without photos. In general the facelift will tighten the upper and lower face and neck. The brows are usually treated separately and most patients avoid this and do botox instead.

Answer: Think of it more as a "brow reset" rather than a brow lift When performing a facelift/necklift you will oftentimes create an unnatural bunching of skin around the temple or lateral brow, especially in someone who has lost significant weight. Think of it like smoothing the sheets on your bed. The brow lift is used to get the last few creases out after you've smoothed out the lower face and neck. I often describe this as a "brow reset" to my patients rather than a true "brow lift."

Answer: Browlift with facelift... If your brow is not droopy then you don't need a browlift at the same time. Ideally you should see a few different facial specialists for consultation and then you can get a good idea of what is best for you.

Answer: Totally depends on your anatomy Based on the details you’ve shared, it sounds like your surgeon is being thorough in addressing the potential impact of a facelift on other areas of your face, specifically the lower eyelids and brow.
