Often, patients come to me unsure what they need or want. They have a general idea that they want to look less tired, younger, natural, not “done,” but that’s all they are able to express. I love to explore their faces with them and offer suggestions on how I can help them look more like themselves.

Often while examining the upper eyelids, we notice together that low eyebrows are contributing to their tired look. While some patients simply have excess skin on their upper lids, others have excess skin and a low brow. I will take my finger and gently lift their brows to show them how a brow lift can improve their appearance and still look natural. 

I think brow lifts have gotten a bad reputation because the older techniques produced a more severe result and required a large incision across the hairline.
