Are There Non Surgical Brow Lift Alternatives?

Question:

I’m 38. I have some frown lines on my forehead and between my eyebrows, though I don’t feel that they’re yet that horrible that I need to consider surgery. However, what I would really like to have fixed is one of my eyes as the eyebrow has becoming increasingly more droopy over the years. It’s now a big difference between my two brows and the droopy one goes over my eyelid. Is this something that can be fixed with a brow lift or would an eyelid lift be more appropriate? Are there any less invasive, non-surgical alternatives that would lift my droopy brow?

Answer:

There are surgical and nonsurgical options when one wishes to improve the appearance of their brow and upper eyelids. Nonsurgical options are usually best for people who are seeking mild degrees of improvement. Botox can be injected in the strategic locations to achieve a “chemical browlift“. In doing so, the eyes themselves, can appear more refreshed, and the lines between the eyebrows can be softened to give one a more youthful and pleasant appearance. When droopiness of the brow and excess upper eyelid skin progresses, surgical solutions offer the best results. Typically, a browlift in conjunction with surgery to remove the excess skin from the upper eyelids, is an excellent combination that can be done together. It is important that if a droopy brow and excess upper eyelid skin do co-exist in a given patient, the surgeon needs to be aware and address both of these issues, because if the excess upper eyelid skin is removed without improving the brow, removal of the eyelid skin can actually pull the brow even further down towards the eyes.
