Answer: Drooping eyelids after blepharoplasty People with excess upper eyelid skin often use their forehead muscles to pull their eyebrows up. The brain often does this involuntarily without the person even realizing it. If the drop in brow position happened several months after surgery, the most likely explanation is that you are no longer using your forehead muscles to lift your brows. Your brain became used to the fact that there is less upper eyelid skin and no longer feels the need to pull the brows upward. This can be corrected with a revision surgery where additional skin is removed.

Answer: Lateral Sin Excess after Upper Blepharoplasty The lateral hooding that remains after your upper blepharoplasty is the result of the design of the upper eyelid skin excision. The design needs to incorporate more skin removal in the lateral or temporal area. Usually more skin needs to be removed in this area to avoid this lateral droop. This can be remedied by additional skin removal in this area which can be done under local anesthesia.
