Can you have a brow lift and forehead filler? (Photo)

Question

Hi, I lost fat in my forehead after a radiofreqency treatment. The muscles are showing and the brows look a bit lower. Can you have both a brow lift and filler to make the forehead look more even? If so, in what order would they have to be done? Thank you :)

Hello and thank you for your question. A formal evaluation would be needed to determine the best treatment. There are both surgical and non-surgical options to correct this, depending on your exact situation.

For less significant issues, there are nonsurgical treatments: To give the eyebrows a nice lift, we use injectable fillers to improve the eyebrow, upper eye, forehead and temple. A filler is placed on the bone and in the fat pads of these areas to contour and lift without it looking overdone. We use cannulas to limit pain and swelling.

Surgery (browlift and/or upper blepharoplasty) is a great option for more significant improvement- for example if there is more substantial eyebrow drooping. I suggest getting a consultation with an experienced cosmetic dermatologist and facial sculpting expert, or an aesthetic facial plastic surgeon like Dr. Donald Groves; we are both located right here in Los Angeles.

Best, 
Dr. Emer

Likely the problem is a strong brow bone not fat loss.  We could remove that issue with a simultaneous brow lift. It takes about 90 minutes.  Outpatient. Watch our videos to learn more.

It appears that forehead contouring by means of bone contouring to decrease bone prominences and groove, combined with fat grafting and brow lift would be good procedure to achieve desired improvement. Good luck

I recommend doing the browlift first.  This may solve your problem and you may not need fillers.
