Will I need a second brow lift or will eyelid sx do? (Photos)

dmmc2801Dec 7, 2024
A year ago I had an endoscopic brow lift and upper bleph. Unfortunately it looks like the brow lift didn’t hold or my surgeon was too conservative although I informed her of how high I wanted my brows and showed her pics. My question is I don’t mind having lower brows but it’s the hooding that bothers me. If I want my eyelid to show more can I just do a second bleph or do I need to do a second brow lift? Thank you!

Hi - I would agree that everyone is asymmetric, but if you wanted to make your eyes more "almond shaped" a canthopexy or canthoplasty would tighten the lower lid and give a more positive vector and almond shape. There are limitations and I would ensure that you understand expectations and results.

The first of your five photos shows your finger pointing to a small bump on the skin between your lower eyelid in your nose. If this is what's bothering you, this could be removed by a dermatologist or a facial plastic surgeon. Depending on your examination, a shave biopsy with local anesthetic...

Hi and thanks for your question. You appear to be young on the photos submitted. BTW great photos! I wish all inquiring patients would submit these excellent photographs. Facial asymmetry is the norm rather than the exception. I extreme cases the asymmetry may require surgical correction. In...

I use a semi-permanent suture for my canthopexy and canthoplasty surgeries and I let my patients resume full activity. The sutures I use dissolve after a couple of months. Having a permanent suture should not be a problem at all. After 6 months you should be fine to do weightlifting. I hope that...

Seems like you have ptosis on one side and to compensate your frontal muscle is more active on left side and your eyebrow is higher. It is not possible to correctly diagnose the problem with only one photo, I'd recommend a consultation with a doctor.

It is highly improbable that you will actually see anyone who understands your precise concerns. The outcome of chasing this could result in catastrophic consequences by well meaning surgeons trying to do something for you. I am in the business of fixing botched eyelid surgery. You had a central...
