Aging gradually affects the face as a whole and the upper third of the face undergoes significant changes as well. The eye and brow region are the most attractive expressive units of the face. The eyebrows are considered a frame for the eyes and the location of the brow contributes to the appearance of a youthful, attractive eye. Drooping of the outer eyebrow and consequent hooding over the eyes may cause a sad, angry or older appearance, and in severe cases peripheral visual obstruction.
The incision, depending on the individual, could be made in one of three areas; in the hairline of the eyebrow, in the crease of the mid‑forehead frown lines or two inches into the hair in the temporal area; known as a temporal lift.
Having the eyelids reconstructed in conjunction with the eyebrow lift can achieve an aesthetic and functional improvement, obtaining a more balanced effect to the upper third of the face.
Eyes are one of the most attractive features of the face and any distraction from their beauty can be quite noticeable. You no longer have to live with puffy, overhanging upper eyelids, wrinkled or baggy lower lids; which would give the face a tired, older look.
