Would I benefit from brow lift/other eye procedure/botox/fillers? (Photos)

Question

AFAB 34 I'm very self-conscious of my eyebrow/ eye lid area, especially from the side, all I can see is prominent brow bones and prominent glabella. I also have deep frown lines that unfortunately show often, even when I'm feeling content. I feel as though my glabella/frown muscles are...over-developed? My eyes are also very hooded, which I hate. What is 'wrong' with my eyes/forehead? And what should I do to improve it please?

First, take a breath. There are some quick fixes for these issues. For one, Botox can easily quiet down and relax the prominent glabella musculature giving that intense and heaped up frown. A low viscosity, cohesive HA filler can be used to lift and smooth the static, etched-into-the skin "eleven lines" area that remain visible even at rest owing to  the creasing effects of years of daily use of the frown line muscles below. In experienced, hands, both procedures can be performed in a matter of minutes, with little or no significant post-treatment downtime and final results seen in about a week. Both types of treatments are not new by any means. I have personally been performing these treatments for this purpose for over three decades. So, relax and be wise and seek consultation by an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist. Best of luck.

Thank you for your question and photos. You may benefit from a combination of upper blepharoplasty and Botox treatments to improve the appearance of your eyes. An upper blepharoplasty procedure can remove excess skin that’s causing the hooded appearance, while also modifying the fat in this area to achieve the desired aesthetic. Botox injections can also diminish the appearance of the glabellar lines and provide a smooth result. 
I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon or expert injector. They will be able to review your concerns and help you decide on the best treatment options for you.

It would be very difficult to suggest any procedure, based on these photos. Only on the basis of in person evaluation with a board certified plastic surgeon, you may get some unswers. Good luck.

It's difficult to say without the benefit of a formal evaluation. This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.
