I really need the forehead lift and the eyelid lift together

Question:
When I use my fingers to raise the skin on my forehead, it doesn’t seem to do anything for my upper eyelids. It does make my forehead look better though. Does this mean that I really need the forehead lift and the eyelid lift together?

Answer:
If when you use your fingers to raise your forehead you like the way your forehead looks and you like the new position of your eye brows then I would suggest a brow/forehead lift be performed. The fact that elevating your brow does not really change the appearance of the excess skin of the upper eyelids then it is very likely that an upper lid blepharoplasty will also need to be performed to give you the results in your appearance that you are hoping for.
