One of the first and most visible signs of ageing is changes to the fragile skin around the eyes. As the skin becomes less elastic, the brows can lower and excess skin on the upper eyelids can make them look hooded.

Sagging eyebrows and droopy lids can combine to create a tired or angry expression that may not accurately reflect your feelings.

Fortunately, help is at hand with a straightforward procedure combining blepharoplasty and brow lift surgeries to restore a youthful appearance to the eye and forehead.

After your brow and eyelid surgery, your aesthetic concerns will be a thing of the past, and you will face the world with a refreshed expression.

This blog will discuss these transformative procedures and why combining them into a single surgery is a great idea.

What happens during an endoscopic brow lift?

An endoscopic brow lift, sometimes called a forehead lift, raises sagging eyebrows and smoothes away lines and wrinkles.

Your surgeon will make small incisions behind the hairline. An endoscopic camera will be inserted through one incision, allowing the surgeon to see the muscles and tissues. Any excess skin or fat will be removed, and the tissues will be lifted through the other incisions using extremely fine instruments.

After an endoscopic brow lift procedure, the new eyebrow position will look completely natural, and patients need not be concerned about the overly high brows and stretched eyelids seen in earlier plastic surgery eras.

What is an upper eyelid blepharoplasty?

Droopy lids are a common feature of the natural aging process and is one of the number one aesthetic concerns for many patients. Heavy upper eyelids with loose skin not only make the face look tired but can interfere with vision.

In this straightforward procedure, the surgeon makes an incision in the upper eyelid crease. Excess skin and fat are trimmed away, and then the incision in the upper lid is closed with sutures.

The eyelid lift restores a smooth contour to the lids and smoothes away fine wrinkles.

Why is it a good idea to combine a blepharoplasty and brow lift?

Combining blepharoplasty and brow lift surgeries rather than performing them individually provides several advantages to the patient.

Better aesthetic results

The eyebrows and upper eyelids are complementary facial features. Treating the eyelids and brows simultaneously ensures the most harmonious and natural result possible, ensuring a balanced appearance for the upper face.

An opportunity to create a bespoke procedure

Combining blepharoplasty and brow lift surgeries allows the surgeon to create a bespoke procedure that addresses the patient’s individual natural ageing process and achieves stunning results.

A single recovery period

Both surgeries will be performed using local anaesthesia. However, there will be a recovery period and follow-up appointment after about one week.

Combining surgeries has a significant advantage as the patient avoids further time away from everyday activities.

Better for the patient’s budget

All cosmetic procedures have fixed costs. Performing surgeries separately duplicates these costs. Combining procedures is cost-effective for patients, making the procedure even more popular.

Other procedures often performed on the eye area

Upper eyelid blepharoplasty and brow lift surgeries can help with challenging ageing changes but cannot solve all the issues of the upper face.

Many patients also choose lower eyelid surgery to remove bags and lines.

Preserving the benefits of a combined procedure to rejuvenate the eye area

Unfortunately, cosmetic procedures cannot stop time, and although blepharoplasty and brow lift will significantly improve the appearance, the natural ageing process will continue.

A healthy diet and lifestyle and reducing sun exposure will help to keep the skin of the eye area in the best condition possible.
