Is It Possible to Raise Only the Inside Part of the Eyebrow? (photo)

Question

I was wondering if it is possible to surgically raise only the inner part of my eyebrow (closer to the nose) through a brow lift or any other procedure. If i lift the inside of my eyebrows with my fingers to make it straighter the excess skin onto of my eye lifts up and i appear much much alert, youthful. Also since the eyebrows are straighter instead of arching down i appear less angry and less tired. Also would a canthopexy be beneficial to me because my lower eyelid appear to be low. Thanks

As long as you have a good hairline,and do not have a tendency for receding hairline, a hairline browlift can be effective.

	However, with properly place botox injections to the corrugator muscle, you may also be able raise the head of the brow as well.

	Your lower lids do not need surgery at this time. If you have mild baggy lower eyelids, fillers may do the trick for your. Sometimes "less is more" when it comes to facial rejuvenation.

Angry look caused by central brows too low can be improved by a Trichophytic central forehead lift which we invented 35 years ago to give the best result. Less effective is the endoscopic FHL. You need nothing done to your lower lids.

Barry L. Eppley, MD, DMD · Answer

A central endoscopic browlift should suffice nicely for just raising the inner half of the eyebrows. That will be more aesthetically tolerable in a male than a hairline browlift. You may also try Botox first to see what non-surgical effect that can create. Also, you do not need a canthopexy as that will not raise your lower eyelid by merely tighten the corners a bit.

William Portuese, MD · Answer

A browlift can be performed to elevate mostly the central component of the eyebrows which could would consist of softening the corrugator muscle and elevation of the central brow component only. For placement of the incision,it's important to take in to account the fact genetic propensity for male pattern balding. Your eyelids did not show enough scleral show to warrant performing a canthopexy

Stephen Weber MD, FACS · Answer

Yes, this is possible. An incision can be placed at or behind the hairline depending upon the configuration of your hairline and any family history of alopecia. Another option would be to place an incision just above the eyebrow. However, the incision stands out for many months and is typically not the most aesthetic result. Lastly, Botox treatment of the corrugator muscle will typically lift the inner portion of the eyebrow. The question to answer will be whether that improvement is enough to give you the look you desire. I hope this information is helpful.Stephen Weber MD, FACSWeber Facial Plastic Surgery

A patient can raise the entire brow or any portion of it so they can improve the brow position and contour. With partial elevation in an individual like you I usually recommend the Irregular Trihophytic Hairline Incision rather than the endoscopic approach so I don't distort the hairline .

You can have a limited forhead lift if you want. The muscles in between your brows can be removed at ther same time for your purposes.Consult a board certified plastic surgeon in your area. Thomas Narsete M.D.

R. Stephen Mulholland, MD (retired) · Answer

It is possible to surgically enhance your eyes and avoid looking over done or having your brows too high.  It is not necessarily a good idea to perform the canthopexy as this is a short cut version of a proper blepharoplasty.  There are several techniques now used by cosmetic plastic surgeons that leave concealed scars and minimal downtime all without the concern of having spocking to the brows.  It is imperative that you seek the advice of a board certified cosmetic plastic surgeon.  These type of procedures should only be performed by qualified, well trained surgeons and thus you will want to research your choice very carefully.  References from family or friends can assist you with narrowing down the options in your area.  

	Good luck with your search for the right cosmetic plastic surgeon and your aesthetic goals.
