Eyelid surgery aims to enhance the eyelids aesthetically to restore a more youthful look to the eyes, including the upper and lower eyelids. Brow lifts can help smooth the wrinkles on the forehead for upper facial rejuvenation, restoring your youthful appearance. While both procedures work to combat the signs of aging and enhance your appearance, it’s best to get the advice of a specialist like double board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Kristopher Hamwi to determine which procedure is the best option for your unique situation.
What Is Eyelid Surgery?
Over time, gravity takes its toll on the upper and lower eyelids, often making you look older than you are. Eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, aims to restore the upper or lower eyelids to help patients look considerably younger. Upper eyelid surgery can address sagging eyelids, while lower eyelid surgery addresses undereye bags.
Typically, eyelid surgery in Sarasota addresses concerns such as:
- Lax skin that creates folds or disrupts the upper eyelid’s natural contour, impairing vision
- Fatty deposits that form puffiness in and around the eyelids
- Undereye bags
- Drooping lower eyelids that reveal white below the iris
- Excess skin and fine wrinkles of the lower eyelid
What is a Brow Lift?
As we age, our brows can begin to fall, shortening the distance between the eyebrows and eyelashes, making us look sad, tired, or even angry. Brow lifts can help smooth the forehead to rejuvenate the upper face.
A brow lift can help reduce horizontal wrinkles that develop on the forehead as well as vertical creases between the eyebrows. With a smoother forehead, you’ll experience a more youthful-looking appearance.
Typically, a brow lift in Sarasota addresses concerns such as:
- Lines on the forehead
- Sagging eyebrows that are hooding eyelids
- Improve signs of aging on the forehead
Which Procedure is Right for You?
Every patient’s face is uniquely different. To determine which procedure will most benefit you, schedule a consultation with board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Hamwi.
For patients who experience significant drooping, sagging, or puffiness in the upper or lower eyelids, the most beneficial treatment will be blepharoplasty.
Patients with droopy eyebrows can see significant improvement in their appearance with a brow lift. If you can raise your eyebrows and the droopiness goes away, you are most likely a candidate for a brow lift.
Sometimes the droopy position of the brows can affect the upper eyelids, requiring both a brow lift and a blepharoplasty to achieve a lifted, rejuvenated appearance. Oftentimes, patients elect to have both procedures completed in one efficient surgery to experience optimal upper facial rejuvenation.
