Foreheadplasty (Brow Lift)
The forehead-eyebrow area is probably the most important single feature in facial expression. When the brow is contracted and depressed medially, an angry threatening look results. When the lateral brow is depressed and fullness ensues in the upper eyelid, the eyes develop a tired, sad expression.
Foreheadplasty is the appropriate treatment for eyebrow descent. Only when the eyebrows have been restored to the appropriate position can a decision be made about the amount of excess skin in the upper lid and the need for blepharoplasty.

Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)
The eyes are the first facial feature people observe and unfortunately they are also one of the first to show the signs of ageing. Ageing is an irreversible, relentless process of tissue degeneration resulting in loss of elasticity and stretching of skin
Whilst the eyes themselves are expressionless, the eyelids are very important indicators of our emotions. When heavy and baggy they portray a tired look; if hooded with loose, an aged look; if elongated and almond shaped with a smooth contour, a freshyouthful look.
