Eyelid sagging is often not just an eyelid problem, but a forehead issue that requires a different surgical approach.
In many cases, eyelid sagging is not only caused by the eyelid itself, but by brow descent, which may require an eyebrow lift rather than simple skin removal.
Why Eyelids Sag
Eyelid drooping is a common issue and is generally caused by two main factors:
- Sagging of the eyelid skin
- Sagging of the forehead skin
As we age, the skin of the eyelids can loosen and sag, which may obstruct vision and make your eyes feel heavy or tired.
It’s not just the eyelids—forehead skin also droops, causing the eyebrows to fall. Normally, the eyebrows sit just above the orbital bone, but as the skin and muscles lose elasticity, the eyebrows gradually move downward.
What Is an Eyebrow Lift?
An eyebrow lift is a procedure designed to restore drooping eyebrows to their natural, youthful position.
During the surgery, a small incision is made along the brow line. The eyebrows are then carefully elevated and secured in a higher position to improve both appearance and function.
This procedure not only helps reopen the eyes but also creates a more refreshed and youthful look.
Cost of an Eyebrow Lift
The cost depends on:
- The surgical method used
- The severity of drooping
- Whether it is a primary or revision procedure
Your surgeon can provide a personalized estimate during your consultation.
Our Approach
Eyelid sagging is not always caused by the eyelid itself.
In many cases, the underlying issue is the descent of the forehead and brow, which changes how the eyes appear and function.
The goal is not simply to remove excess skin, but to restore the natural position of the brow and allow the eyes to open more comfortably and naturally over time.
→Request an Eyebrow Lift Evaluation
If your eyes feel heavier or more tired over time, the issue may not be limited to the eyelids.
A proper evaluation should determine whether brow descent is contributing to the change and whether lifting the brow can restore a more natural and stable result.
Insights
Why Do Eyelids Sag Over Time?
→ Eyelid sagging is often caused by both eyelid skin laxity and brow descent, not just aging of the eyelid alone.
What Is the Difference Between Eyelid Surgery and an Eyebrow Lift?
→ Choosing the right procedure depends on whether the primary issue lies in the eyelid or the brow.
