When you look in the mirror, do signs of aging seem to jump out at you? For many people, time leads to drooping and wrinkles around their eyes. So is it time for a lateral brow lift, an eyelid lift, or both?
What is a Lateral Brow Lift?
A Lateral brow lift addresses signs of aging in the outer corner of your brow area. If you have droopy eyebrows this is the procedure for you.
Dr. Lanfranchi’s Lateral brow lift technique elevates the outer corners of the eyebrows to create a brighter, more refreshed appearance. This corrects droopy eyebrows that create a sad or tired appearance and can also make it easier to apply eye makeup.
What is an Eyelid Lift?
An eyelid lift rejuvenates aging, tired-looking eyes by lifting and smoothing the eyelids. Also called blepharoplasty, this procedure can be done on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both. Upper blepharoplasty removes excess skin to address drooping eyelids or “hooding.” Lower blepharoplasty removes and repositions fat and skin to reduce puffiness, wrinkles, and under-eye bags.
Lateral Brow Lift vs. Blepharoplasty: Which is Better?
A Lateral brow lift and an upper eyelid lift both aim to refresh the overall upper eyes. However, a lateral brow lift targets the outter eyebrows themselves, while blepharoplasty only addresses the area beneath the eyebrows. Lateral Brow lifts and blepharoplasty can both effectively refresh your appearance, depending on your goals and aging concerns.
A Lateral brow lift will be more beneficial if you are primarily bothered by signs of heavy appearing upper eyes. Alternatively, if aging, such as wrinkles and sagging around your eyes, is your concern, blepharoplasty will be more effective. Dr. Lanfranchi can help you determine which of these procedures is ideal for your needs and goals during a consultation.
You can have a lateral brow lift and eyelid lift combined for comprehensive rejuvenation of your eyes and brow area. Having the procedures done simultaneously increases your results and benefits and is typically more cost and time efficient.
Am I a Candidate for a Brow or Eyelid Lift?
Dr. Lanfranchi always customizes procedures to each patient’s unique facial structure and goals. Whether you want to reverse signs of aging in your forehead, eye area, or both, he can help. Ideal candidates for these rejuvenation procedures are in good health, don’t smoke, and have realistic expectations.
I can’t thank Dr. Lanfranchi and his rock star staff enough for all they have done! My bleph, under eye laser and brow lift look not only fantastic and most importantly natural, but healed so quickly! The level of care I received from everyone pre and post surgery was way beyond my expectations, I wasn’t treated like a client, but rather like how you would care for a family member! My only regret is I didn’t do it sooner!
