The Advantages of Combining Brow and Eyelid Lift Procedures

At AestheticEye in Cincinnati, OH, we understand how much your eyes and forehead impact the way you look and how others perceive you. Over time, the natural aging process can cause the upper eyelids to droop and the brows to sag, leading to a tired, angry, or worn-out appearance—even if you feel energetic and youthful on the inside. Combining brow lift and eyelid lift (blepharoplasty) procedures offers a powerful, balanced approach to facial rejuvenation, giving you smoother, more open eyes and a refreshed expression.

Refresh Your Eyes and Facial Expression with Balanced Rejuvenation

Individually, both brow and eyelid lift procedures can deliver impressive results. A brow lift elevates sagging brows, smooths deep forehead lines, and reduces heaviness around the upper face. An eyelid lift focuses on removing excess skin, puffiness, or fat from the upper and/or lower eyelids, making the eyes appear brighter and more youthful.

However, these areas are closely connected. If one is treated without the other, the results can sometimes look incomplete or out of balance. For example, lifting the eyelids without addressing low brows might leave the forehead looking heavy. Similarly, elevating the brows without improving eyelid droopiness may not fully open the eyes.

By combining both procedures, you can achieve harmony between the eyes, brows, and forehead. This approach creates a natural-looking, refreshed appearance without overdoing it. Patients often find that their entire facial expression looks lighter, friendlier, and more awake after a combined brow and eyelid lift.

Streamlined Surgery and Recovery

Another advantage of combining these procedures is convenience. When done together, brow and eyelid lifts require only one surgical appointment, one round of anesthesia, and one recovery period. This can reduce overall downtime and is often more cost-effective compared to staging the procedures separately.

Most patients can expect initial swelling and bruising to subside within two to three weeks, with final results becoming clearer as the healing process continues over the following months. Our team will guide you through every step, from consultation to recovery, to ensure a smooth experience.

The Importance of Choosing an Experienced Oculoplastic Surgeon

When it comes to surgery around the eyes, expertise matters. The eyes are delicate, complex structures, and achieving natural, balanced results requires advanced skill and a deep understanding of facial anatomy. That’s why it’s essential to choose a board-certified oculoplastic surgeon with specialized training in cosmetic and reconstructive procedures of the eyelids and brow.

At AestheticEye, our team is led by highly trained oculoplastic specialists who focus exclusively on the eyes and surrounding areas. We take a tailored, precision-based approach to every procedure, ensuring that your results enhance—not change—your natural appearance.
