Brow Lift vs. Eyelid Lift

These two procedures work around the eyes, but they have different methods and focuses.

Brow Lift

An eyebrow lift readjusts the eyebrow back to its natural position and adjusts the skin to smooth out the forehead lines. If you have difficulty applying eyeshadow due to your eyelid skin disappearing, a brow lift may be best for you.

What is Recovery Like After an Eyelid Lift?

Are sagging eyelids making people ask if you got enough sleep last night? Drooping eyelid skin can make you look older and take energy away from your face. An eyelid lift restores your youthful, bright-eyed appearance, so you look and feel rejuvenated. Recovery takes a few weeks but results last a lifetime. 

What is an Eyelid Lift?

The upper and lower eyelids start to sag as we age. At the same time, fat pads under the skin can begin to shift, creating undereye bags. Loose upper eyelid skin makes the eyes look hooded and tired, while the skin of the lower eyelids becomes thinner and stretches. An eyelid lift or blepharoplasty gives you a more youthful and refreshed eye area. Drs. Ahn specialize in facial plastic surgery, especially in the eye area, and can restore your eyelids to a more alert and awake appearance.  View More Patient Results

What is a Revision Blepharoplasty?

A revision blepharoplasty improves or revises the results of a previous blepharoplasty. Blepharoplasty is a procedure that corrects sagging or tired-looking eyelids and restores a brighter, more youthful appearance. Your surgeon may perform blepharoplasty on the upper eyelid, lower eyelid, or both. 

Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty

An upper blepharoplasty removes skin from the upper eyelid using an incision hidden in one of the eyelid creases. It also lifts the skin to correct sagging or drooping, making the eyes look more alert and energetic. 

Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty

A lower blepharoplasty lifts the undereye skin and removes excess fat pads to remove the appearance of drooping, undereye bags, and dark shadows. The eye area looks noticeably younger and less tired.

How Long is Recovery Time From an Eyelift?

Are you interested in undergoing an eyelift surgery, but not sure you have the time to devote to recovery?

It’s an understandable concern. After all, some plastic surgery procedures often require a lot of recovery time – and if you have a busy lifestyle, you can’t exactly afford to take weeks off. Between your job, your family, and everything else in between, it’s no exaggeration to say that you don’t have the luxury of free time to devote to recovery.

So with that in mind, how long is recovery time from an eyelift?

Surprisingly, an eyelift (also referred to as a blepharoplasty) doesn’t require a significant amount of recovery time. Actually, you might be pleasantly shocked to learn that you can return to work in as little as 2 to 3 days, depending on your job.
