Possible to Get a Natural Looking Brow Lift?

Browlifts can definitely be overdone, resulting in that startled, shocked expression that concerns so many patients and doctors alike. So the key is to make sure that a browlift is appropriate at all, and if so, it is done to the degree that looks rested and natural. Sometimes an upper eyelid blepharoplasty is the right solution to help open your eyes, so you need to discuss these options with your surgeon in order to be most accurate.
If a browlift is truly a consideration, some parameters are helpful to keep in mind. For women an ideal brow position has long been postulated, and an article in the last month has confirmed that shape. The medial part of the brow is at or just below the bony orbital rim. The lateral part of the brow then gently arches to peak roughly above the corner of the eye, and then shapes down a bit from there. So achieving the "ideal" brow position may not require much lift at all, or may involve more shaping/lifting of just the lateral part. All those are issue you should cover with the surgeon preop. My experience has been the surprised look comes when the medial part of the brow is lifted too much.
Communicate with your surgeon. Ask questions. You should be comfortable that a browlift will result in natural, elegant improvement.

Celebrities often are the worst examples of facial plastic surgery, possibly because relying on their faces for a living makes them seek more treatment than they actually need. A well-performed brow lift should look natural and relaxed. You should look more rested and alert, but not surprised or alarmed. Please take your time to find someone who is truly expert in rejuvenating the forehead and brow while maintaining a patient's natural range of expressiveness. I hope this helps.

A successful outcome from surgery is based on the expertise of your surgeon and how well they understand your goals. A brow lift can give you a beautiful, natural looking improvement. The key is to avoid over correction. For this reason, make sure to look at before and after photos of patients as well as be honest and frank about your expectations.
