Eye lift or eyebrow transplant first? I am concerned that having an eye lift after brow transplant will affect results. (Photo)

Question

I’ve been toying with this idea (brow transplant) for almost a decade. I’m ready now because I’m seeing better and better results in the industry. My concern is that at my age (44 this January), I am also showing signs of aging around the eyes. Not excessive, but enough that I am considering an eye lift before it’s as noticeable to everyone around me as it is to me. So my question is, how should I schedule these procedures? Will they impact each other?

John Bitner, MD · Answer

I do both of these operations on a very regular basis.  In fact, I think they could easily be done at the same time.  If you wanted to separate them, I would probably recommend the eyelid lift first as there may be a subtle change to the brow position (although general dogma is that a blepharoplasty does not change brow position).  So, the order should not matter.

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

It all depends on the experience and comfort level of the doctor.  They all can be done at the same time.  However, the focus should be on the results.  In other words not all cosmetic surgeons specialize in both eyebrow transplants and brow lifts.  Just because they can do it also does not mean they are great at it.  One doctor may be great at eyebrow surgery but not at brow lifts (or vice versa).

I have done growl lifting for 35 years and think it is one of the best procedures that one can have. Having said that I don't think the time is right for you to have the since your browl position looks good and you do not look sad or tired. Have the eyebrow transplant  and when you need a brow lift it can be done by an experienced brow lift surgeon.  If the pictures you have submitted do not show an accurate position of your eyebrows and you are holding them up in the picture then I would need to do an examination to determine this.

I would recommend the eye lift first as sometimes that can change the shape of the brow to a certain extent.  Once that is healed you can then consider an eyebrow transplant.

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

The decision on which procedure, an Eye lift of eyebrow transplant is a discussion you need to have with your surgeons.  A pacing of a month either way makes no difference
