Combination Brow and Eyelid Surgery

The brow lift satisfactorily addresses rejuvenation of the entire upper forehead and face and has become one of the most highly desirable procedures today in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery.

The blepharoplasty procedure addresses the upper and lower eyelids, but does not address the eyebrow proper.

Eyebrow ptosis (or laxity) is a common occurrence and is usually associated with the upper and lower eyelid blepharochalasia palpebra. The eyebrows may descend and encroach upon the upper eyelids, worsening the weary and / or tired appearance of the upper eyelids. The specific procedure designed to restore a youthful appearance and restore aesthetic harmony to the upper eyebrows is known as the brow lift.

Once performed, a brow lift will negate the need for an upper blepharoplasty procedure. Each individual is unique and anatomy can dictate which procedure(s) will be most beneficial. Oftentimes, a brow lift and a lower blepharoplasty are all that is required for eye rejuvenation. Other times, both upper and lower blepharoplasty is a more suitable option.
