If the brows are sagging down over the eyelids, or have a sad appearance, elevating the brows can really lighten a person’s look. There are several common locations to place the incisions for this procedure.  Your surgeon will choose the one that is best for you.  They all tend to heal quickly and make an immediate impact. This is often combined with upper eyelid skin excision (blepharoplasty) to obtain the sharpest, cleanest result. These procedures are commonly done with sedation and local anesthesia, but a general anesthetic is a good choice for many patients as well.
