Dr. Hanna’s Notes: 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.
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.
