Your eyes and forehead are often the first areas to show signs of aging. Sagging eyelids, heavy brows, or deep forehead lines can make you look tired, stressed, or older than you feel. Fortunately, facial rejuvenation procedures like eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) and brow lift surgery can restore a more youthful, refreshed appearance. But how do you know which procedure is right for you? In this blog, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Rudy Coscia helps patients in Sacramento, Granite Bay, and Coeur d’Alene make informed choices about their treatment.
What Eyelid Surgery Can Do
Eyelid surgery targets drooping upper lids, puffy lower lids, and excess skin that can obscure the natural contour of the eyes. During the procedure, Dr. Coscia removes or repositions fat, trims away loose skin, and smooths delicate tissues around the eyes. The result is a more open, youthful appearance that highlights the natural beauty of the eyes.
Upper eyelid surgery is particularly beneficial if you have skin that hangs over your lash line or obstructs your vision. Lower eyelid surgery, on the other hand, addresses under-eye bags and sagging that create a constantly tired look.
When a Brow Lift Is the Better Option
Sometimes heaviness around your eyes is not caused by your eyelids at all, but by a sagging brow. A brow lift elevates the position of your eyebrows, smooths forehead creases, and reduces frown lines between your brows. You are likely to look more awake and approachable after the procedure. If your brows sit lower than they once did or if lifting them in the mirror improves the look of your eyelids, a brow lift may be the most effective solution.
Dr. Coscia uses advanced brow lift techniques to achieve natural-looking elevation without a “surprised” expression, focusing on balance and harmony with the rest of your face.
Can the Procedures Be Combined?
For many patients, combining eyelid surgery with a brow lift offers the most complete rejuvenation. Addressing both the eyelids and the brows ensures that results are cohesive and long-lasting. During your consultation, Dr. Coscia will evaluate your unique anatomy and recommend whether a single procedure or a combination of procedures is best suited for your goals.
