Question

How do you know if you need a brow lift with upper and lower Blepharoplasty surgery to remove extra upper and lower eye skin and wrinkles?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

As we age, our eyelids naturally sag and droop. A combination approach would be best to see visible improvement. In terms of non-surgical treatment options, I would recommend a Chemical Brow Lift (using Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, or Jeuveau) and filler injections to rejuvenate the temples, eyebrow, eyelid, eye troughs, upper eye hollows, and forehead. I typically combine this with Ultherapy and thread lifting to lift the brow; RF and skin tightening laser treatments to stimulate collagen production and rejuvenate the skin; and laser or superficial RF devices for improvements in texture, color, and any crepey skin around the eyes as needed. In some cases, surgery is the best solution to achieve the desired results. See an expert for a formal consultation. Best, Dr. Emer.​

HI anon5021,
It is important to have a board certified plastic surgeon who can do an accurate diagnosis on the relationship of your eyelid and eyebrows. It is extremely important to apply the correct aesthetic proportions to the upper part of the face to get the best aesthetic outcome. We use the Naturabrow ™️ procedure which uses a small incision to reposition the brow in a minimally invasive way thereby minimizing the extent of eyelid surgery. This is done in a simple one hour outpatient procedure.

Most important component is to look at the position of the eyebrows relative to the eyelids. Your eyebrow position is adequate, and a brow lift is unnecessary. An upper blepharoplasty can remove the excess skin on the upper eyelids
