If you droopy eyebrows, could it cause your eyes to look small and your nose to look big?

Question

If you have low, droopy eyebrows (right on the eyebrow bone for a woman) could it cause your eyes to look small and your nose to look big? What could be done to correct it for a long term option?

Ross A. Clevens, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your question. Droopy eyebrows can play a role in your aesthetic appearance. It would be helpful to see photos. I suggest that you move forward and consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon to discuss your candidacy.
Best wishes,

You are a candidate for a forehead and eyebrows lift; this can be don by means of short incisions in the scalp or by endoscopy, I recommend short incisions since endoscopy does not allow good fixation of the lift; this can be dan subperiosteal or supraperiosteal, I recommend and I do supraperiosteal to avoid the chronic swelling associated with the subperiosteal lift; this can be done standard (only forehead and eyebrows) or extended, I do the extended version which covers the cheekbone area, the mid cheek (both lifted) and a smoothening of the nasolabial folds.Do seek the serviced of a well experienced surgeon in facial rejuvenation procedures.

Thank you for your question. Yes, having low eyebrows can certainly make your eyes look smaller and the increase the over hang of skin on your eyelids. A brow lift /forehead lift can correct this and help enhance the eyes which are often are most appealing facial feature. A brow lift is a long term solution. As for the nose, lower brows can change the shape/shorten the brow- nasal tip aesthetic lines and alter the appearance/facial balance. However, the most direct association is with the eyes. I hope this helps. Take care.

A brow lift procedure is performed for patients who have low set eyebrows. In addition, asymmetrical eyebrows, can also be adjusted in addition to softening the scowling muscles of the forehead. The hairline must also be adjusted as well either upwards or downwards, depending upon the placement of the incision. For many examples of brow lifts, please see link below

Dear mbp1234, When your brows drop below their natural (pre-aging) position this makes the patient look tired and reduces the space between the eyelid and the brow ridge. Endoscopic browlift is an excellent procedure to "open the eyes" with a nice natural looking appearance an no tell tale signs of surgery. The procedure is performed with an endoscope through small incisions in the hairline undermining down to the malar region where the skin and tissues are shifted back to their pre-aging position. The above video will give you a good idea of how this procedure provides a youthful appearance. For further review the link below has many examples of endoscopic browlift patients of varying ages and their before and after photographs. Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D.
