A combination brow lift, lower blepharoplasty and peri-orbital laser skin resurfacing is a powerful approach to rejuvenate the upper and mid-face, specifically focusing on the eye area and the skin surrounding it. Each procedure serves a distinct purpose but, when performed together, they create a more comprehensive and harmonious rejuvenation.
1. Brow Lift
The brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is designed to elevate drooping eyebrows and reduce deep forehead lines, helping to restore a more youthful, refreshed appearance. Key benefits include:
- Lifting sagging brows that may give the face a tired, angry or sad look.
- Smoothing horizontal forehead wrinkles.
- Softening frown lines between the eyebrows.
There are several types of brow lifts, including endoscopic, trichophytic, temporal/lateral, direct or indirect and coronal depending on the patient’s needs. The end result is a more open and refreshed upper face.
2. Lower Blepharoplasty
Lower blepharoplasty focuses on rejuvenating the lower eyelid area by addressing issues such as:
- Under-eye bags and puffiness.
- Excess skin and fine lines in the lower eyelids.
- Dark circles caused by shadowing from puffiness or skin laxity.
By removing or repositioning fat, tightening muscles and removing excess skin, lower blepharoplasty helps to smooth and brighten the under-eye area, giving the patient a more rested and youthful appearance.
3. Peri-Orbital Laser Skin Resurfacing
Peri-orbital laser skin resurfacing is a non-surgical treatment that uses laser technology to improve the texture, tone and appearance of the skin around the eyes. This procedure:
- Reduces fine lines, wrinkles and crow’s feet.
- Improves skin tone and texture.
- Enhances skin firmness and elasticity.
Laser skin resurfacing works by removing the outer layers of damaged skin and stimulating collagen production, leading to smoother, tighter and younger-looking skin. It is often used to complement surgical procedures by improving the overall quality of the skin in the treated areas.
The Benefits of Combining These Procedures:
When performed together, these procedures offer a synergistic effect:
- Comprehensive Rejuvenation: The brow lift addresses the upper face, the lower blepharoplasty targets the under-eye area and the laser resurfacing enhances the skin’s overall appearance.
- Balanced Results: Combining these procedures ensures that all areas around the eyes are treated, preventing an imbalanced or incomplete result.
- Reduced Downtime: By having these procedures performed in a single session, patients experience one recovery period rather than multiple surgeries spaced out over time.
Ideal Candidates:
Individuals with significant signs of aging around the eyes and forehead, including droopy brows, under-eye bags, excess skin and fine lines, are ideal candidates for this combination of treatments. It’s also suitable for those looking for a more long-lasting and dramatic improvement compared to non-surgical options alone.
Overall, this combination provides a transformative result that rejuvenates the entire peri-orbital and forehead region, helping patients look more refreshed, youthful and vibrant. Schedule your consultation with Dr. Fathimani, our triple board certified facial cosmetic surgeon.
