Forehead/Brow Lift Surgery
Cosmetic eyelid surgery
While the conditions can exist together, the effect of the brow drooping is often overlooked. Consequently, many patients need a forehead or brow lift, not a blepharoplasty.
Although the most common cause of a saggy or droopy brow is aging, it can also be caused by medical conditions or a facial trauma. In any case, patients typically complain of increasing frown lines and wrinkles across the forehead and an increasing heaviness to the brow which may result in an unnatural fullness to the upper eyelids.
