Temporal Browlift Better Choice for Lateral Hooding? I Do Not Want Scars in Crows Feet

Question

Sam Naficy, MD, FACS · Answer

Other types of brow lifts (endoscopic, hairline, coronal)  also improve lateral hooding and none of these require placing incisions in the crows feet

Thomas Fiala, MD, FACS, FRCSC · Answer

Yes, in general, temporal hooding is nicely corrected with a temporal brow lift, with an incision hidden in the hair laterally.  Many people who have this also require an upper blepharoplasty, though.  Careful pre-op marking is important to avoid over-resection of the upper eyelid skin when combining and upper bleph. and a forehead lift.

Yes and no. You really need to have an assessment of eyelid skin laxity and brow drooping. Blepharoplasty and/or browlift may be necessary depending on the analysis.

Toby Mayer, MD · Answer

Temporal forehead lift vs. hairline forehead lift are the choices for the hooding. The hairline forehead lift will give a more natural look and better forehead lift in my opinion because it reverses the effects of gravity and does not produce that evil look!

Gary M. Horndeski, MD · Answer

A brow lift incision can be hidden in the scalp and successfully correct lateral eye lid hooding. It's a very common and easy procedure to perform. Please consult with a Board Certified Plastic surgeon to get the best possible result. Best wishes, Dr. H
