Excess skin between the eyebrows. What procedure would correct this? (Photo)

Question

Hi - I have excess skin between my eyebrows that distort my face. What procedure would correct this? Are there multiple options? I did have a nose job 20 years ago (which I am not happy with). I'm not sure if this could be the cause. I did not notice this when the procedure was originally done.

Thank you for your question and photo. A brow lift is a good option to excise loose skin that causes a drooping brow to create a smoother appearance. You may also want to consider Botox treatments to reduce the tension between your brows and diminish deepened creases in this area. 
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 surgical history, assess your concern, and help you decide on the best treatment option.

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

At least from the photos, there appears to be a great deal of static tension (if this photo was taken in repose) or dynamic tension (if taken when frowning). In either case, if this is so, then the simple of use of a few microdroplets of Botox into the muscles responsible for the frown and protrusion would ameliorate the problem in just a few days when the Botox takes full effect. Treatment, in experienced hands, should not take more than about two minutes literally to perform with little to no significant downtime afterward. Although the uses of Botox have expanded to treating so many different areas of the face, neck and chest over the years, treating the frown (scowl) lines was the very first area to be treated back in 1991 when I first started to inject Botox for cosmetic reasons. You would be wise to consult with a board certified cosmetic dermatologist. Best of luck
