Question

I have wanted a brow lift/forehead lift for YEARS. The constant weight on my eyes causes me to always have to lift my eyebrows up so I can see better. This surgery will literally improve my quality of life. Is what I am trying to achieve doable? I was told the actual result may be more subtle than I would like.

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

The effect that you are getting with the tape is quite dramatic. A brow lift will provide some relief of the heaviness but will not be so dramatic. For this reason, the brow lift is often couple with a blepharoplasty in order to improve the effect of the lift.

There are several types of browlift procedures. There is the lateral browlift, transcutaneous browlift, and endoscopic browlift. In patients with a low hairline, the transcutaneous lift will provide the greatest amount of elevation of the entire brow and is least likely to relapse. When performed correctly, the incision heals inconspicuously.

You would benefit from a browlift.  This will lower the hairline, decrease the vertical width of your forehead and pull up the eyebrows.

Best Wishes,
