How can I fix my hooded eyes and deflated flat forehead? I am afraid I look like a man.

Question

I am 23 F and of a healthy weight. I have saggy eyes and a low brow bone which makes me afraid I look like a man. I want higher set eyes. I also do not like low my brow is. Combined with a flat forehead I do not have a smooth side contour. How can I fix this?

Forehead lift for sad, masculine appearance. This will correct all the issues you have with your forehead and eyes. A rhinoplasty will also make your nose more feminine and attractive.

Dear SpookymulderThank you for your question and photos!  It is hard to tell exactly what would need to be done- but the contour of your eyelids and forehead can be changed without making you look masculine.With Warm RegardsTrevor M Born MD

The combination of brow bone reduction/upper orbital bone reshaping and a browlift will go along way in feminizing the upper third of your face. It is a combined brow bine protrusion and brow ptosis issue.

A key is to consider the entire facial balance and not just the one area. Each cosmetic area appears 'relative' to other areas. For example, you have very shallow cheekbones and this makes the nose more prominent in appearance. The eyebrows are quite "full" which emphasizes the lack of shape and arch to the eyebrows. Ideally one reshapes/thins/contours the brows, augments the cheekbones and possibly reshapes the nose. Then you can reassess your presented concern, if it remains.
