Should Skin on Nose and Forehead Stretch out and Seperate from Underlying Structure After Brow Lift? (photo)

I had a browlift 3 days ago. The ps held it up with inch & 1/2 long staples on either side of my forhead--cross between a coronal and a lateral lift. My concern is that my forehead and esp. upper nose skin is floating above the structures/smas. This is especially clear in the photos at the bridge of my nose, where my formerly narrow nose now looks Klingon large. I also have V shaped brows. Will the skin settle back to its original place once the staples are removed? Is this a normal outcome?

A browlift reversal can be done but your face looks masculine now. Having sagging brows will make you look older and tired and you would do better to leave them alone.

Dear hot_n_cold2013 Looking at your photo, its not apparent to me that you have abnormally shaped eyebrows nor eyes. Every persons anatomy is a bit different and some have a wider placed orbits and others have more narrow orbits, which makes the eyes wider or narrower. Changing the...

If you are looking to have a "widow's peak" effect of the hairline, the only way to achieve that would be through hair-transplantation. I'm not sure if that will achieve a natural, aesthetically pleasing result, however.

Endoscopic browlifts are a good technique to use for patients with mild to moderate eye brow droop and think skin. But even in the best circumstances, I have not found them to be as long lasting as open [trichophytic or coronal] browlifts. You state that you don't want a "coronal" browlift,...
