Brow Lift and Upper Blepharoplasty

The eyes and their surrounding structures are often the first and most captivating features noted on the face. It is for this reason that upper blepharoplasty is one of the most commonly requested surgeries in the United States. A variety of nuanced techniques have been reported along with surgical adjuncts to the upper blepharoplasty in order to help patients achieve their functional and aesthetic goals (Kossler et al., Ophthal Plast Reconstr Surg 27(3): 195, 2017). The oculofacial patient often requests correction for the aging face and fatigued appearance without an overdone, "plastic" result, even in functional cases. Recognizing the relationship of the eyebrows and eyelids, and properly addressing both, can help the surgeon achieve the optimal functional and aesthetic outcome.
