How an Upper Blepharoplasty and Brow Lift Complement Each Other

Close-up of a human eye with long, thick eyelashes. The eye has a light iris, and the skin around it is smooth.

The eyes and brows are integral to your facial expressions, conveying emotions and vitality. Unfortunately, aging can lead to sagging eyelids, drooping brows, and an overall tired appearance. To restore a refreshed, youthful, and alert look, combining an upper blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) with a brow lift offers transformative results. At the practice of Eric Cerrati, MD, FACS, in Park City, UT, these two procedures can be performed together to rejuvenate the upper face, enhancing your natural beauty while maintaining harmony between the eyes and brows.

The Benefits of Upper Blepharoplasty

Upper blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to address excess skin, puffiness, and sagging in the upper eyelids. Over time, the eyelid skin can lose its elasticity, resulting in droopy or hooded eyes that may even impair vision. Upper blepharoplasty removes this excess skin and fat, creating a smoother and more youthful eyelid contour.

Lifting and tightening the eyelids helps open up the eyes, making you look more awake and refreshed. The results are subtle yet impactful, enhancing your natural beauty without altering your unique facial features.

The Advantages of a Brow Lift

The position of your eyebrows plays a significant role in framing your face. Over time, the brows can descend due to aging, causing a heavy or angry appearance. A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, repositions the brows to a more youthful and lifted position.

In addition to lifting the brows, this procedure smooths horizontal forehead lines and reduces the appearance of furrows between the brows. The result is a more rested and approachable look, with improved balance and proportion to the upper face.

Why Combine Upper Blepharoplasty with a Brow Lift?

While upper blepharoplasty addresses sagging eyelids, it doesn’t resolve issues caused by a drooping brow. Similarly, a brow lift alone cannot correct excess skin on the eyelids. By combining these procedures, Dr. Cerrati can achieve a harmonious rejuvenation of the eyes and forehead, enhancing the overall appearance of the upper face.

Performing these procedures together offers several key benefits:

  • Comprehensive Rejuvenation: Treating both the eyelids and brows ensures that the entire upper face looks refreshed and balanced, preventing one area from appearing disproportionately aged.
  • Enhanced Results: A brow lift complements the effects of upper blepharoplasty by creating a more open, lifted look that maximizes the impact of both procedures.
  • Convenience: Combining surgeries reduces the overall recovery time and eliminates the need for separate procedures.
  • Cost Efficiency: Undergoing both procedures simultaneously can be more cost-effective than performing them separately.

A Tailored Approach to Facial Rejuvenation

Dr. Eric Cerrati takes a personalized approach to every patient, carefully evaluating your anatomy and aesthetic goals to create a customized treatment plan. Whether you’re experiencing hooded eyelids, drooping brows, or both, Dr. Cerrati has the expertise to deliver natural-looking results that enhance your appearance without appearing overdone.

Eric is such a great doctor! He treated me as family and was very thorough and diligent. I was very nervous but he made me feel comfortable at all times especially when undertaking a 7 hour surgery. I flew in all the way from the East Coast to see him as I heard he was the best in his field. His staff is friendly and caring. You can tell he has a good heart. I recommend!

I am one month out from my procedure with Dr. Cerrati and could not be happier with my results. From my initial inquiry to today, both the doctor and the staff could not have been more helpful. Dr. Cerrati has a wonderful team that makes scheduling, payments, and follow up questions easy. The doctor himself is attentive, happy to answer questions and did a great job of listening to my concerns and ideas, while presenting his professional opinion in a respectful and helpful way. My recovery was a breeze, thanks to his careful techniques. At just one month, I am seeing a drastic improvement in both form and function. So thankful to have Dr. Cerrati based in my home of Utah, but I would have traveled across the country to see him!

Dr. Cerrati performed a facelift (w/ neck tightening), upper and lower blepharoplasty, and CO2 laser resurfacing for me in February 2021. I’m 3.5 months post op and the results have exceeded all my expectations; beyond what I ever could have imagined. I experienced minimal pain, swelling and bruising, after my 8 hour surgery and was ready to be seen in public in less than 10 days. Dr. Cerrati and his team are without question, second to none in their field. I have been treated with nothing but the utmost professionalism, compassion, patience, kindness and unconditional support from the beginning of my journey to today. Any questions or concerns I have ever expressed have ALWAYS been given the utmost respect and Dr. Cerrati pays attention to every detail in his patient care. His artistic talent and surgical skills are remarkable. In my opinion, he is a truly gifted plastic surgeon. The best you’ll find in the industry. If you’re considering any facial plastics procedures, Dr. Cerrati, and his team, is the place to come, even if it means traveling to do so. Thank you so much for changing my life for the better and giving me back my self confidence that I was sure I’d lost forever.

Choosing Dr. Cerrati to perform my rhinoplasty was the best decision I ever made! I had consultations with many other surgeons and he was who I felt most comfortable with. He really listened to what I wanted and made it look very natural. He fixed my deviated septum and performed some cosmetic work. My recovery was such an easy process! I had 0 pain and minimal bruising. I love the outcome of my nose, both functionally and structurally. I highly recommend Dr. Cerrati, you wont regret it.

Working with Dr. Cerrati and his assistant Hailey, has been the most wonderful experience! It is clear Dr. Cerrati cares about helping you achieve your dreams and Hailey is the sweetest, most helpful & awesome gal ever! They both spent so much time listening and understanding exactly what I wanted done with my nose and forehead and spent time making sure I was cared for and heard. I love my results and am so happy that I chose to go with this team. I plan to continue using them for my lip and cheek injection and suggesting them to all my friends moving forward- I am soo happy I found them!

I would highly recommend Dr. Cerrati based on my experience with both him and his office staff. He is very professional and a perfectionist When it comes to his patients results. I researched several surgeons, and ultimately decided on Dr. Cerrati based on his reviews and before and after pictures. One month post rhinoplasty, I am no longer self conscious. I’m loving my results ( and I’m very picky) . If anyone is worried , rest assured you Will love Dr. Cerrati and his staff!
