There are two special situations in which we perform blepharoplasty combined with a brow lift.
The first case involves patients between 40 and 60 years old who notice drooping skin on their eyelids, and during the medical consultation at the clinic we find that the eyebrows have drooped as well. So what we do is a blepharoplasty, which is plastic surgery of the eyelids, combined with a brow lift, because drooping eyebrows also affect the look of the eyes. This is a rejuvenation surgery and, in general, what the patient is looking for is to recover a little of the lost time and have a more rested look, but this is not the profile of a patient who wants major changes.
A second form is what we call designing looks: younger patients, between 25 and 30 years old, who do not yet show significant drooping of either the eyebrows or the eyelids, but who do want a change in the look of their eyes.
In general, men sometimes want a slightly more open look, and women want a somewhat more feminine look.
So, with this idea in mind, we try to design the look by checking, during the medical consultation, the position of the eyelids and eyebrows that the patient likes best, and then, in surgery, we lift and slightly modify the shape of the eyelids and eyebrows, trying to please that patient.
