My brows dropped after I had an upper bleph...
My brows dropped after I had an upper bleph performed for medical reasons (vision impairment) and I got so tired of having an angry look most of the time. Thus, I decided to see what could be done about elevating my brows.
I had the surgery in December of 2016, and I've posted a pic that shows the post-op results on top and pre-op below. I apologize for the pre-op pic lighting... I had so few pics of me front-on. If I can find one a bit brighter/clearer I'll post it later.
Anyway, I feel that my brows went from very symmetrical to very asymmetrical. We agreed to raise my brows 2-3 mm, as I dislike a very high, arched brow. My right brow turned out nicely, but the left brow is fully 5mm higher. How it was raised so much more I have no idea, and it is also pulled inward towards my nasal bridge when it was supposed to be pulled out (the doctor recommended that my brows be pulled away from the nasal bridge to further alleviate the angry look). The additional area between my upper eyelid and lower brow is significantly more, and makes my eyes look to be different sizes and shapes. Additionally, I have uploaded another pic with me looking down. You can see how the left eye remains much more open than the right, further demonstrating how much more it was lifted. Also, I've had then pulling or strained sensation above my left brow since the surgery, and when I do any motions that cause my eye shape to change (frown, etc) my eyes are different shapes. I noticed the asymmetry immediately after the surgery, and brought it up that day and the follow-up appt the day after. The doctor disregarded my concerns and said I was being too picky, and that my brows were symmetrical in the operating room.
I had my final follow up (6 month) about a month ago. The doctor told me that I'm just too picky, and that 99.9% of people would be happy with my results. He also added that if he did a revision, it's just as likely to end up worse as it is better. So--I ask all of you--would you be happy with these results? Am I just being an overly picky person? PLEASE be honest. I need honesty right now. Any thoughts/suggestions would be appreciated.
Lastly--I know I can pluck and wax. I've tried to keep my brows natural (as I did before the surgery so they could be made truly symmetrical), but I've plucked my left brow on top and right brow on the bottom to try to even them up at least a little. As you can see, I haven't plucked under the left brow as it makes it look even more asymmetrical. I feel this shouldn't even be an issue, and in any case, it wouldn't remedy the other issues mentioned above.
