Does a Brow Lift Change Your Eye Shape?

When the natural aging process has its way, the results can be somewhat discouraging. Fortunately, various aesthetic treatments can restore youthful appearance by addressing lines, wrinkles, and folds. In addition, solutions like injectables, dermal fillers, and PRP microneedling help reverse the signs of aging and promote a radiant skin glow.

But when the effects of aging are severe, surgical intervention may be necessary to achieve your desired goals. Of course, facelift, eyelid lift, and a direct neck lift go a long way to restoring youthful beauty. But if you have sagging forehead skin, deeply etched brow furrows, and vertical lines between your eyebrows, a brow lift may be what your plastic surgeon recommends.

A drooping brow is a significant cosmetic concern for men and women. If friends and family have mentioned you look tired, angry, or worn out, it may be because your brow is overshadowing your eyes. Board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Parker Velargo and the talented team at New Orleans Center for Aesthetics and Plastic Surgery are excited to offer the most effective and long-lasting brow lift options. They are available to help New Orleans patients refresh facial beauty by turning back the clock on the effects of aging.

What Is a Brow Lift?

Underlying fatty tissue above the eyes can droop with age, creating a fatigued or menacing look. A brow lift is an aesthetic facial surgery that elevates the brow line for a refreshed, rejuvenated appearance.

A brow lift corrects brow furrows, diminishes forehead lines, and resolves other aesthetic concerns to improve beauty. In addition, it shortens the distance between the scalp and eyebrows for patients with prominent foreheads.

Brow Lift Techniques

One of the most incredible facets of a brow lift is its flexibility. Dr. Velargo is familiar with various brow lift approaches and can individualize his surgical plan to your cosmetic goals and needs.

Instead of trying to change your eye shape, Dr. Velargo manipulates your brow to effectively alter your eye appearance. For example, a lift addressing the brows’ outside corners will elevate the underlying tissue and skin for a friendlier, more alert appearance.

Can a Brow Lift Address Hooded Eyes?

Patients who have hanging fat or skin tissue that impedes the field of vision, or causes a cosmetic nuisance, can find help with a brow lift. It often delivers an open eye shape and lifts or removes overhanging tissues that affect the eyes.

Do I Need a Brow Lift or Blepharoplasty?

A brow lift and eyelid surgery can address similar cosmetic concerns. During your consultation, Dr. Velargo will evaluate your facial anatomy, discuss your cosmetic goals, and advise you on a surgical plan designed for your specific needs. Often, our patients choose to have a brow lift done concurrently with a blepharoplasty to enhance their results.
