Gliding brow lift - could a revision help in this situation?

At the end of July, I had a gliding brow lift, but I am very dissatisfied with the results. One of my eyebrows was noticeably low, and I wanted to address that issue. However, the procedure ended up pulling the lateral and tail portions of both eyebrows too high. Could a revision gliding brow lift help in this situation? Additionally, since my hairline has receded (distortion after the lift) particularly at the temples, could the surgeon address this to some extent during the revision procedure?

The difference between endoscopic and non endoscopic brow lift is obviously the use of the endoscope to visualize as the operation is performed. The endoscope is useful, not just because of nerves, but there are also some vessels that would be nice to avoid. The incision is within the hairline...
You would benefit from a brow lift since your eyebrows are still below the level of the orbital rim. I would do this first.

This procedure can be done from an upper lid blepharoplasty approach so no additional scars. However the result are limited at best. Can be used in bald patients who want a slight brow lift and have no options for hiding scars. Also in younger individuals who need a minor lift.
