Question

Hello, I consider having a brow lift surgery. I have natural almond eyes, but due to my droopy eyebrows, their shapes are distorted. I don’t consider upper blepharoplasty as even a slight lift to my eyebrows opens my eyes. As for method, due to my receding hairline especially on both sides, I am sceptical about endoscopic method .Since I have a plenty of eyebrows, could direct brow lift be a nice option for me? (Also no forehead lift as I am scared of it) Thanks

thank you for posting your question. I agree, a subtle elevation of the eyebrow  while simultanously maintaining the shape of the eyebrow, would be beneficial. Eyebrow aesthetics differ in men. Applying principles and techniques that are commonly used in women, would lead to a feminized appearance, which most men are not aiming for. Scars of an endoscopic brow lift, although they are usually short, can be of concern with a receeding hairline. A direct brow lift might be a solution. The scar is often nearly invisible in some patients, but not everyone is a candidate for it. There might be another solution for you to consider. The Gliding brow lift uses tiny scars hidden in the hairline, which are not stigmatizing even with a receeding hairline.  The principles of a gliding brow lift is based on wide superficial undermining, positioning the brow in its desired position ( and shape if wished). I hope this helps.

Hello, hope you are well. You are certainly a candidate for a brow lift. There are advantages and disadvantages to each of the common methods. Most surgeons, myself included, would probably recommend an endoscopic brow lift technique because you are relatively young, the incisions are small and easily concealed behind the hairline, and it can provide a great result. A direct brow lift is an option, but the scars are often visible and conspicuous, even when the procedure is executed perfectly. 
Best,Dr. Tower
