If you are depressed to see sagging brows or drooping eyelids, you may wonder what’s right for you: A blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), or a brow lift? As the years pass, the facial skin loses its supple, elastic quality, and the facial muscles loosen, stretch, and sag – leaving you with a perpetually unhappy or tired look. It’s not fun!
Candidates for a brow lift
If the face you see in the mirror looks old and tired, it could be due to sagging brows. As the muscles and skin loosen, the brow can become heavy in appearance, giving your eyes a hooded look. The best solution for drooping brows could be a brow lift, which will tighten the underlying tissues on your forehead, smoothing away unsightly forehead creases and restoring the brows to a more youthful position. Lifting the brows can help you to look more approachable and can take years off your appearance.
Candidates for a blepharoplasty
Do people often ask you if you are tired, even when you’re not? You may feel tired sometimes, we all do, but you don’t need to put up with aging skin! Candidates for blepharoplasty include people who see the following problems:
- Excess, sagging skin on the eyelids
- Heavy folds on the upper lids
- Puffy bags
- Deep tear troughs
- Peripheral vision is impacted by excess skin
This excess skin can give you an overly tired, older look. By reducing the amount of excess skin around your eyes you can look far younger, more approachable, and refreshed.
What about both?
Depending on your concerns, whether they are functional or cosmetic, you could be a candidate for both procedures. Blepharoplasty can treat either the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, and a brow lift smooths and lifts the brows and forehead as necessary. Every procedure or combination of procedures tailored to you, for results you’ll love.
