What Is The Difference Between Blepharoplasty And A Brow Lift?
Blepharoplasty or eyelid lift is a surgical procedure used to improve the overall look of the upper and lower eyelids. Excess skin and fat are removed to create a more well-rested-looking eye area. A brow lift, on the other hand, aims to rejuvenate the forehead area by lifting drooping brows, smoothing deep furrows, and reducing wrinkles in the forehead area. While blepharoplasty and brow lift are available from many plastic surgeons as separate procedures, they can often be completed together for an overall rejuvenated facial appearance.
