Is it a brow lift required to achieve symmetry with an upper blepharoplasty? (Photo)

Like every person one side of the face is not a mirror image of the other and that asymmetry undoubtedly involves bony asymmetry. A brow lift st the time of blepharoplasty could llkkely increase symmetry versus an upper blepharoplasty alone but Woukd not dummy correct the asymmetry. One eye appears to be slightly more open than the other and that is due to differences in the bony orbit.

In your case, your brows are remarkably asymmetrical. I would recommend a browlift at the same time of the blepharoplasty.

While you do have some mild asymmetry of your eyebrows, you are not a candidate for a brow lift procedure due to the normal positioning of your eyebrows currently. A brow lift is only used for patients who have low set eyebrows. With an upper blepharoplasty procedure, you can have a differential amount of skin removed in order to make your eyelids more symmetrical in appearance. In our practice, this can be performed under local anesthesia as an outpatient procedure, which takes about 30 minutes.
