Are High Tail of the Brow and Eye Corner Lifts Possible?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I want to get the tail of my eyebrows and eye corners lifted. Is this possible in me since they are already a bit high?

A: Imaging is a very important step in considering any type of facial reshaping surgery. However it is first important to understand what imaging is and its role in that surgery is. It is NOT done to show patients actual surgical outcomes as nobody knows exactly with that could be for anyone with any surgery. Rather imaging plays two important preoperative considerations. In some patients, where a multitude of differing outcomes may be possible, imaging is done to determine the patient’s tolerance for the amount of change that could be done. In other words how much change are they seeking. Conversely in other patients with the outcomes by their anatomy is going to be more limited, another words you can’t just do anything, is done to show what the surgeons think is the most that is possible. It is the latter that applies to you when you have are ready high brow and lateral corner positions. In other words in this situation imaging is done to help the patient determine that if this the best result that could achieve would they still consider having the surgery. The immediate patient reaction to such imaging will determine the patient’s candidacy for the procedures.
