Brow Lift Before & After Case 169

This patient came to us seeking a brow lift after experiencing long-term concerns with the appearance and heaviness of her brows. She described feeling frustrated because her left brow sat noticeably lower than her right when at rest but rose higher with expression, leading to bothersome asymmetry. She had moderate brow droop, mild upper eyelid skin redundancy, and did not experience much improvement with previous Botox treatments.

During our consultation, we explored several surgical options, including a temporal brow lift, lateral brow lift, and a comprehensive brow lift procedure. Together, we discussed the benefits and considerations for each approach. The patient felt that a complete brow lift best addressed her goals and we agreed on this treatment plan. We had an open conversation about naturally occurring differences in facial features and how surgery could help rebalance her brows while maintaining a natural look.

Postoperatively, there was improved brow elevation, less heaviness above her eyes, and a more balanced appearance. Her recovery progressed well, with follow-up visits focused on monitoring healing, managing swelling, and ensuring appropriate scar care. She is pleased with her results and reports greater confidence in her appearance.
