I am looking to get surgery for my drooping eyelids, but in the couple of consultations I've had, they've suggested also having a direct brow lift. I'm worried about the scars from a direct browlift, because although I've seen some good results with barely noticeable scars after a month, I've also seen many examples where the scar is very visible for 12 months, or even permanently. Is the brow lift really necessary?
Answer: Brow lift and upper blepharoplasty Routinely, brow lifts are not required with an upper blepharoplasty, but in your case I would recommend it. I would not recommend a direct incision. The incision can be done at the hairline junction. This will pull up the eye brows and decrease the vertical height of the forehead. This will also change the amount of skin needed to be removed at the time of upper blepharoplasty.

Answer: Browlift optiobns Thank you for your question and for sharing your photograph. Although an endoscopic brow lift is considered more challenging in men, it can achieve a natural brow repositioning—provided your hairline is still well maintained. The direct excision brow lift is indeed an alternative, but it is not the only option available.

Answer: Upper lid bleph I would recommend sticking to the upper lid blepharoplasty only. The direct brow lift leaves an unsightly scar. I have seen scars that have had months to resolve and are still visible.

Answer: Brow Lift and Blepharoplasty This is a great question! It is always very important to assess the position of the brow when considering blepharoplasty as this is an often overlooked cause for fullness/heaviness/excess skin of the upper eyelids. This is best determined by your surgeon during consultation by evaluating how the brows are contributing to the eyelid issues. While it is hard to determine without being able to evaluate in person, it does look like your brows are contributing and the best results would be from targeting both the eyelids (blepharoplasty) and the brows (brow lift).

Answer: Upper eyelid blepharoplasty +/- Browlift With an upper eyelid blepharoplasty, the extra skin is excised with the scar in the eyelid crease. At times, the excess upper eyelid hooding is in part related to eyebrow ptosis/ descent. A brow lift goal is to elevate the eyebrows, incisions can be placed in the scalp, along the forehead hairline, in a deep forehead crease or along the upper eyebrow. Scars are permanent and may take a year to mature and fade.
