20, puffiness/fullness between my eyebrows. Can a surgeon remove or fix this fat pad between my brows? (Photos)

Question

I’m 20 and noticing puffiness/fullness between my eyebrows that looks aged or swollen. I’ve been under chronic stress, and my hormones are imbalanced (low progesterone, pregnenolone, etc.). Botox hasn’t helped, and it looks like fat or soft tissue bulging, not just muscle movement. Would a brow lift help? Or does it require fat pad sculpting/removal?

When the distance between the eyes and eyebrows is too close, it can create a heavy or puffy appearance around the eyes. To improve this, lifting the eyebrows is one of the most effective and natural-looking solutions.
This procedure is performed using an endoscope through small incisions hidden within the scalp. By carefully releasing the forehead tissue and elevating the brows, the distance between the eyes and eyebrows increases. As a result, the heaviness or puffiness of the upper eyelids&mdash;previously caused by downward pressure from the brows&mdash;can also be significantly improved.
In addition to lifting the forehead, performing a forehead narrowing procedure simultaneously can further enhance the balance and harmony of the face.

Removal of suprorbital bone and hairline Lowering using the Irregular Trichophytic Procedure. Based on my 50 years experience since I invented procedure doing more than 5000 ofthese, this is probably supraorbital bone and possibly slight excess muscle. Both can be addressed and your low brows and sad appearance can be improved. Hair grows thru the incision so the scar is noticeable with the hair pulled back!
