Ive been told by a couple of docs that I need a brow lift and upper and lower eyelift while others didnt mention a browlift. In 67 and I dont want to do a browlift for several reasons so I didnt bring it up to the doctors that didnt mention it. My concern is that Ive read that the eyelift can pull down the eyebrow further. Is that usually the case?

Answer: Brow evaluation when performing upper eyelid surgery It is very important to look at the brow position when considering upper eyelid surgery. Most patient have some degree of brow decent with age and not addressing this can result in removal of excess eyelid skin and a further decent of the brows. That being said, there are various ways to improve brow position from non surgical botox and fillers to surgical procedures. Much of the time a brow stabilization procedure can be done during the upper lid surgery by simply putting a few sutures to stabilize the brows through the same incision as the eyelid surgery is being done. This won't necessarily lift the brows but will keep them from coming down further. I commonly perform brow lifting through an eyelid crease incision to minimize the number of incisions, minimize healing time etc so adding a procedure to lift or stabilize the brow doesn't always entail an additional endoscopic brow and forehead lift. Make sure that the doctors you've seen are specialists in eyelids/eyebrows and can address these issues. Best of luck...

Answer: Is eyebrow lift necessary with eyelid lift? An eyelid left removes redundant skin between the brows and eyelashes. When you shorten this distance, you can often get pulling down of the brows. A common way to prevent this is with an internal browpexy. Dissection is made under the skin of the brows, from the eyelid incision, and one or two sutures are placed to keep the brow in good position. It will elevate the brows on average 1-3mm (according to recent studies) and prevent them from dropping. It is much less invasive than a forehead lift and just adds a few minutes to your surgery.
