Combining Eyelid Surgery and Brow Lifts: A Comprehensive Approach to Youthful Eyes
The eye area is one of the first places to show signs of aging. Drooping brows, excess eyelid skin, puffiness, and wrinkles can create a tired or heavy appearance even when you feel energetic and well-rested. For many patients, addressing just one area isn’t always enough to achieve a refreshed, natural look — which is why combining eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) with a brow lift is becoming one of the most effective approaches to rejuvenating the upper face.
At Toronto’s Elements Spa, board-certified cosmetic plastic surgeon Dr. Adibfar’s dual specialization in reconstructive and cosmetic facial surgery allows him to create beautifully harmonized results by treating the brow and eyelids as a connected aesthetic unit.
Why the Upper Face Ages as a Whole
The brow and eyelids work together visually, structurally, and expressively. As we age, the brows may descend, causing the upper eyelids to appear heavier. At the same time, eyelid skin becomes thinner and looser, leading to hooding, puffiness, or a “closed” look.
If a patient has a brow that has fallen over time, performing eyelid surgery alone can address excess skin — but not the underlying cause. Likewise, lifting the brows without improving stretched or puffy eyelids may still leave the eyes looking fatigued. Combining procedures creates balance, symmetry, and a more naturally refreshed appearance.
Eyelid Surgery: Smoother, Brighter Eyes
Upper eyelid surgery removes excess skin and can reposition or trim fat deposits that contribute to puffiness. The result is a cleaner, more open eyelid area that restores definition and brightens the eyes.
Lower eyelid surgery can address under-eye bags, fine creases, or lax skin, helping the entire eye area look smoother and more rested. When performed with precision, eyelid surgery enhances the natural contours without altering your expression.
Brow Lift: Elevating and Opening the Upper Face
A brow lift raises the brow to a more youthful, natural position — not too high and never “surprised.” The goal is to restore gentle lift, soften deep horizontal forehead lines, and reduce the heaviness that often pushes down onto the eyelids.
There are several modern techniques, including endoscopic approaches that require minimal incisions and offer shorter recovery time. Dr. Adibfar selects the technique best suited to your facial anatomy for results that feel organic and balanced.
Why Combining the Two Delivers the Best Results
When both procedures are performed together, they create a unified rejuvenation rather than isolated improvements. Patients often experience:
- A brighter, more open eye shape
- Smoother, tighter upper eyelid skin
- Reduced puffiness and under-eye bags
- A naturally lifted brow that enhances expression
- Better long-term results compared to either procedure alone
This combination ensures that neither the brow nor eyelid is over-corrected — the harmony comes from treating the entire upper face with precision.
