Which surgery method for brow lift? (Photo)

Question

Hello, I am 34 years old and very unhappy with my low eyebrows. I constantly have a grim expression on my face because of it. I have already talked to a plastic surgeon. He has recommended an eyebrow lift, but I am still unsure which surgical method would be best for me. It seems that every doctor has a different opinion. I would like to have a friendly, open facial expression and I would like the result to last for many years. Which surgical technique would you recommend?

Thank you for your question and photo. Though determining the best surgical method for you will require a physical examination, you would likely benefit from a brow lift to correct your heavy eyelid appearance. During this procedure, the excess skin can be removed from your upper eyelids, the remaining skin can be elevated, and your brow lifted and stabilized to create a more refreshed and awake appearance. 
I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon. They will be able to determine which type of brow lift may be best for you to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.

Hello @carlclarkson, thank you for your question. The best method for you will depend on several factors including the shape of your eyebrows, and your overall facial anatomy. The best course of action is to consult one or several board certified plastic surgeon for more information and options tailored specifically to your needs. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

As we age, our eyelids naturally sag and droop. A combination approach would be best to see visible improvement. In terms of non-surgical treatment options, I would recommend a Chemical Brow Lift (using Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, or Jeuveau) and filler injections to rejuvenate the temples, eyebrow, eyelid, eye troughs, upper eye hollows, and forehead. I typically combine this with Ultherapy and thread lifting to lift the brow; RF and skin tightening laser treatments to stimulate collagen production and rejuvenate the skin; and laser or superficial RF devices for improvements in texture, color, and any crepey skin around the eyes as needed. In some cases, surgery is the best solution to achieve the desired results. See an expert for a formal consultation. Best, Dr. Emer.​

There are many surgical techniques for browlifting, but I think the browlift technique with longest lasting results is the transcutaneous browlift. This technique is similar to a facelift in that up to two inches of skin can be removed. In addition, this technique will not elevate the hairline.

William Portuese, MD · Answer

In our practice we use the coronal approach to accomplish lifting the entire forehead and eyebrows as a unit. The Incision is located back in the hairline Area. Eve if you lift your eyebrows, you may still require a conservative upper eyelid skin blepharoplasty, since you have very hooded eyelids in addition to low set eyebrows.
