Brow Lift Versus Eyelid Lift: Which One Do I Need?
“The signs of aging become first noticeable in the areas around your eyes, attracting most attention, as droopy eyebrows, undereye bags, making you look tired, sad, or angry. Either an eyelid lift or a brow lift can make you look more alert, refreshed!”
Did you know that a brow lift, sometimes called a forehead lift, because the procedure helps address both the brow position and the skin of the forehead, lifting soft tissues to correct sagging, wrinkles, and frown lines.
Did you know that choosing between the eyebrow or brow lift entirely based on the complexity of your issues, and either skin excess in your upper lids only, or the need for a change in brow position, is also required?
Did you know a brow lift is performed to correct the 11s (glabellar lines/ frown lines) between the eyebrows and droopy eyebrows by lifting the forehead and eyebrows?
Did you know that eyelid lift/ blepharoplasty can also correct vision obstruction caused by sagging upper eyelids?
As birthdays add up, the signs of aging take a toll on one's facial appearance. Saggy skin and drooping brows can cause our eyes to lose their attractiveness, resulting in a tired, sad, and unhappy-looking face.

Note: Brow lift and forehead lift are two different procedures, but are often used interchangeably and produce the same results, i.e., raising the eyebrows to a higher position, reducing the wrinkles on the forehead, and frown lines (11’s) between the eyebrows, Crow’s feet, and creating a more relaxed impression.
When Should You Choose a Brow Lift/ Forehead Lift Surgery?
A brow lift surgery is performed to correct the droopy eyebrows by lifting the forehead and eyebrows, creating a refreshed, more awake, rested appearance.
Brow lift rejuvenates the upper third of your face by repositioning your forehead and eyebrows to a more youthful position, enhancing the areas above your eyes. However, the concerns of forehead wrinkles, deep furrows between the brows, and drooping eyebrows caused by aging, gravity, and loss of skin elasticity get addressed, achieving an alert and more youthful appearance.
You are the right candidate if: -
Your sagging brows give you a sad, tired, and stern appearance, which is not aesthetically pleasing.
Crow’s feet (11’s between the eyebrows)
Upper eyelid bags, horizontal forehead wrinkles
Do I need an Eyelid lift/ Blepharoplasty?
Medically, eyelid surgery is known as blepharoplasty, which corrects sagging skin around the eyes, drooping lids, and undereye bags. It is especially performed when there are issues with skin excess in the upper eyelids, fat shift, or excess under the eyes, or both. Dr. Sadati’s Newport Beach eyelid surgery is highly individualized, a step ahead of traditional lifting methods, which allows the procedure to restore definition and freshness around the eyes while preserving your natural shape and expression.
Upper eyelid lift: It removes excess saggy (sometimes fat) tissue from your upper eyelids, lifting the lids, and making you look more awake and vibrant. In addition, upper eyelid lift offers medical benefits, correcting vision obstruction caused by droopy upper eyelids/ ptosis.
Lower eyelid lift: The most requested procedure in Orange County, CA, to address puffy/ swollen appearance, the undereye bags and hollows beneath the eyes by removal or repositioning of fat, and skin excess is tightened up for a smoother contour.
You should be the right candidate if: -
You have drooping eyelids.
Undereye bags and hollowness.
Obstructive peripheral/ side vision due to excess fat deposits and skin excess on the upper eyelids.
