Brow lift for an attractive lady who feels she has a sad look or sad eyes. Would a temple lift or brow lift work? by Dr. Philip Young: This is how I answered this lady that came into my office:
You are an attractive pretty lady. I can see why, though, you would possibly think that you have sad eyes. One I think that your eyebrow may be a little low but not extremely low. A browlift may help you brighten up the face / image and your eyes. One technique that could help you is if you thinned your eyebrows through judicious brow waxing and hair plucking. Also lightening your eyebrows could help. But a brow lift could increase this distance and make your eyes look softer. The distance between your eyelid margin and eye brows should be around 1 iris width and not much more than 1 1/2 iris widths. A temple lift would concentrate on your lateral portion of your eyebrow. A brow lift would be the whole eyebrow lifted. In my opinion, I think you need the medial part of your eyebrow lifted as much as your lateral part of your eyebrow, if not more. I would do a brow lift and not just a temple lift.
