Can Brow Lift and Eyelid Surgery Be Performed Together? Benefits in 3 Steps

Do you know how beneficial it can be when a brow lift and eyelid surgery are performed together?

One of the most noticeable areas in facial aesthetics is the eye area. Over time, aging, gravity, and facial expressions can cause the eyebrows to droop, the eyelids to sag, and a tired appearance. At this point, one of the methods most frequently recommended by Dr. MFO is to perform brow lift and eyelid surgery together.

Additionally, these two procedures yield beautiful results in enhancing a feminine appearance. However, let’s understand what these two FFS approaches entail.

What is a Brow Lift?

A brow lift is a procedure that lifts eyebrows that have drooped due to aging, gravity, or genetic factors. Low eyebrows can give a person a tired, sad, or angry expression. In short, this surgery provides a younger, more vibrant, and feminine facial expression.

So, how does the surgery process proceed?

• It is performed under local or general anesthesia.
• The endoscopic method is performed by making small incisions in the temple area. With this method, the scars are hidden within the hairline.
• In the classic method, the eyebrows are lifted through a longer incision made in the scalp.
• In some patients, a temporal lift alone may be sufficient.

What is Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)?

Eyelid aesthetics is the removal of excess skin, muscle, or fat tissue from the upper or lower eyelids. Sagging, especially in the upper eyelid, can cause both aesthetic and visual problems. It results in a more open, youthful, lively look and a rested facial expression.

So, how does the surgical process proceed?

• In upper eyelid aesthetics, a small incision is made along the natural eyelid crease. Excess skin and muscle tissue are removed, and the incision is closed with a fine suture.
• In lower eyelid aesthetics, an incision is usually made below the eyelashes. If necessary, fat pockets are removed or reshaped.
• The surgery takes an average of 30-60 minutes.

Can Brow Lift and Eyelid Surgery Be Performed Together? What Are the Benefits?

Yes, these two procedures are often performed together, and when performed together, they result in a much more effective eye area. This is because eyelid surgery alone is not sufficient unless the drooping eyebrows are also addressed. Thanks to this combination:

• The eyebrows are lifted, and the eyelids are lightened.
• A more balanced, natural, and youthful appearance is achieved.
• The recovery process is completed in a single step.

Combining these two procedures offers significant advantages both aesthetically and in terms of the recovery process. Beyond all this, let’s examine the most well-known benefits of these surgeries in 3 steps.

1. A More Natural and Balanced Appearance

Eyelid aesthetics performed alone removes excess tissue from the upper eyelid, providing a more youthful appearance. However, if the eyebrow droop persists, the result will not look completely natural. When performed in conjunction with a brow lift:

• Excess skin on the eyelids is removed.
• The eyebrows are lifted upward in harmony with the face.
• A more holistic and dynamic expression is achieved around the eyes.

This results in a more vibrant, fresh, and feminine facial contour instead of a tired, irritable, or sad appearance. It also achieves a much more natural and complete look.

2. Recovery in a Single Surgery

One of the biggest concerns for patients when deciding on this type of surgery is the recovery time after the operation. When eyebrow lift and eyelid surgery are performed in a single session, the patient does not need a second surgical procedure. This means a single recovery process.
The following advantages of this combination stand out:

• General anesthesia or sedation is administered only once.
• The recovery period is shortened, and the return to daily life is accelerated.
• Post-operative swelling and bruising heal simultaneously.
• In short, instead of the difficulty of two separate operations, a more comfortable process is experienced.

3. Long-Term and Permanent Results

Aesthetic procedures around the eyes provide not only cosmetic rejuvenation but also functional relief. With the lifting of the eyebrows and lightening of the eyelids:

• The field of vision is expanded, providing clearer vision, especially for those with drooping upper eyelids.
• The youthful effect on the face is maintained for a longer period.
• The results are more lasting and satisfying compared to procedures performed individually.
• This is the fundamental reason why aesthetic surgeons recommend this combination: both health and aesthetic expectations are met simultaneously.

How Do Trans Women Benefit from a Combination of Brow Lift and Eyelid Surgery?

Small details on the face directly affect society’s perception of a person’s gender. The most important part of the feminization process is undoubtedly facial feminization. In this context, the combination of brow lift and eyelid surgery not only creates a feminine appearance but also rebuilds self-confidence.

Low eyebrows or heavy eyelids can cause a person to be perceived as more masculine. The eyebrow lift + eyelid surgery combination offers trans women:


• Greater self-confidence when looking in the mirror,
• A more feminine appearance in social settings,
• The advantage of feeling aligned with their own identity.

Conclusion

When eyebrow lift and eyelid surgery are performed together, both visual harmony and long-lasting results are achieved. Moreover, the recovery process is completed in one go. If you also want a younger, more vibrant, and harmonious expression around your eyes, you can consult with an expert aesthetic surgeon to evaluate this combined method.
