At AM Plastic Surgery in Tampa, Dr. Markelov is renowned for delivering cutting-edge cosmetic procedures designed to enhance natural beauty and restore confidence. For individuals dealing with hooded eyes, a brow lift offers a transformative solution that not only rejuvenates the upper face but also restores a brighter, more youthful appearance. But can a brow lift truly fix hooded eyes? Let’s explore how this advanced procedure can help.
What Are Hooded Eyes?
Hooded eyes are characterized by excess skin that droops over the upper eyelids, creating a heavy or tired appearance. While this can be a natural genetic trait, many people develop hooded eyes as part of the aging process due to a loss of skin elasticity and muscle tone. This condition can make you look older, more tired, or less vibrant than you feel inside.
How Can a Brow Lift Address Hooded Eyes?
A brow lift works by elevating the position of the brow, which can dramatically reduce the appearance of hooded eyes. Here’s how:
- When the brow sags over time, it pushes the skin of the upper eyelid downward, exacerbating hooding
- By lifting the brow, this procedure repositions the tissue, opens up the eye area, and restores a refreshed, alert look
- Unlike injectable treatments like BOTOX, which provide temporary solutions, a brow lift offers long-lasting results, typically lasting 8–12 years
- For many patients, this makes a brow lift a more effective option for addressing moderate to severe hooding
Why Choose a Brow Lift Over Eyelid Surgery?
While eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) targets excess skin and fat directly on the upper eyelid, a brow lift focuses on repositioning the brow to eliminate the cause of hooded eyes. A brow lift can deliver dramatic improvements for individuals whose hooding is primarily caused by a low or sagging brow.
In some cases, the best outcomes are achieved by combining a brow lift with eyelid surgery to address both brow position and excess skin. During your consultation, Dr. Markelov will assess your anatomy and aesthetic goals to recommend the best approach for your needs.
Dr. Markelov’s Innovative Approach to Brow Lifts
Dr. Markelov uses advanced techniques at AM Plastic Surgery to provide stunning results with minimal downtime. His unique drainless brow lift, featuring a hemostatic net, reduces the risk of bleeding and fluid collection while enhancing skin redistribution for more dramatic outcomes. This approach eliminates the need for surgical drains, ensuring a smoother recovery process.
For patients with hooded eyes, Dr. Markelov often employs the Gliding Brow Lift, an innovative method that repositions the brow tissue with precision while minimizing scarring. This technique allows for natural-looking results that avoid the "surprised" appearance sometimes associated with traditional brow lifts.
