Brows are so low, they almost touch my eyelids when I'm tired. Am I a good candidate for a brow lift or blepharoplasty? (photo)

Question

I'm 35 and just want my eyelids back and my brows to back up a few mm. And maybe to be the same height for symmetry's sake. Thanks!!

You are in the perfect age range for a conservative, 1 cm-incision brow lift. The incision is made in the eyebrows themselves so it will be invisible when it heals. This lifts the lateral sides of your brows and will thus lift the eyelid skin, too. 
If you want a more dramatic change, then an endoscopic brow lift can be done by placing the incisions in the hairline. The asymmetry can be corrected with both procedures. You can discuss your options more during your consultation with a facial plastic surgeon. Either way, the brow lift should be sufficient at this point to resolve your drooping lids so you don’t have to undergo blepharoplasty. I hope this helps.

As we age, our eyelids naturally sag and droop. A combination approach would be best to see visible improvement. In terms of non-surgical treatment options, I would recommend a Chemical Brow Lift (using Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, or Jeuveau) and filler injections to rejuvenate the temples, eyebrow, eyelid, eye troughs, upper eye hollows, and forehead. I typically combine this with Ultherapy and thread lifting to lift the brow; RF and skin tightening laser treatments to stimulate collagen production and rejuvenate the skin; and laser or superficial RF devices for improvements in texture, color, and any crepey skin around the eyes as needed. In some cases, surgery is the best solution to achieve the desired results. See an expert for a formal consultation. Best, Dr. Emer.​

Hello ktdubBrow lifts are very versatile procedures which can be performed a number of ways to varying degrees. The outside (lateral) brow can be raised or the entire brow, depending on what is required. This is why it is so important to select a highly qualified surgeon to match your needs and goals with the right procedure.

Thank you for your question. I suggest that you move forward and consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon because you seem to be a candidate for both procedures.
Best wishes,

You look like a great candidate for an endoscopic brow lift. This would raise your brows higher, while maintaining naturalness. Unfortunately there is no such thing as perfect symmetry, but I do feel you would benefit greatly from this procedure.
