Eyelid Surgery and Brow Lift FAQ
A curated set of high-intent questions about upper blepharoplasty, lower blepharoplasty, brow lift, and nonsurgical eye rejuvenation including PRP and filler. Left column: candid expectations and safety. Right column: technique, results, and recovery.
It depends on what is driving the heaviness. Some patients have true excess eyelid skin. Others have a low brow position that makes the upper lids look heavier. Many patients have a blend of both.
In consultation, Dr. Ahmedli evaluates brow position, eyelid skin, muscle tone, and the shape of your eye. The plan is designed to look natural and avoid an overcorrected result.
Many patients with mild dryness or contact lens use can still be candidates, but it changes the way we plan. The goal is to improve the eyelids while respecting the health of the ocular surface.
Dr. Ahmedli will ask detailed questions about symptoms and may recommend specific pre and post treatment steps to support comfort.
The goal is you, just more rested. Great eyelid and brow work should look like you slept well, not like you had work done.
Dr. Ahmedli prioritizes shape, proportion, and harmony with your facial anatomy so results read as natural in real life and in photos.
All surgery carries risk. The most important categories to understand include healing variability, asymmetry, eyelid position issues, dryness, and scarring.
These procedures are small in incision size but high in precision. The best way to reduce risk is thoughtful candidacy, conservative planning, and meticulous technique.
Because eyelid surgery is about millimeters and taste. Dr. Ahmedli is meticulous, conservative when it matters, and focused on outcomes that look refined instead of obvious.
- Detail-driven planning tailored to your anatomy and eye shape.
- Natural aesthetics that avoid a hollowed or surprised look.
- Access to the same high-touch, luxury-level patient experience of the practice.
Upper blepharoplasty is designed to reduce heaviness from excess upper eyelid skin and refine the lid contour while preserving a natural crease and shape.
It can create a brighter, more open look without changing your identity. The goal is elegant and believable, not dramatic or overdone.
Lower blepharoplasty addresses under-eye fullness or "bags," and it can also refine the lid-cheek junction. The best plan depends on whether the issue is primarily volume, skin laxity, true herniated fat, or a blend.
Filler can be helpful for select patients with volume deficiency, but it is not the right answer for everyone. When the anatomy calls for surgery, a well-done lower bleph tends to look cleaner and lasts longer.
Nonsurgical options can be excellent for subtle refinement and maintenance, especially when the main issue is skin quality, mild volume loss, or early changes.
- PRP: may support skin quality and a more refreshed look over time.
- Filler: can soften hollowing in select candidates when placed conservatively and anatomically.
- Skin-focused treatments: can improve texture and crepey skin when appropriate for your goals.
Dr. Ahmedli will tell you candidly when nonsurgical treatments will help and when they are likely to disappoint.
A brow lift can restore a more youthful brow position, soften heaviness over the upper eyelids, and refresh the overall eye expression.
A natural result is about the vector and the degree of lift. The goal is balance and softness, not an arched or surprised appearance.
Most patients feel comfortable being seen relatively early, but healing continues in phases. Swelling and bruising typically improve significantly over the first couple of weeks, with refinement continuing beyond that.
We give clear, structured post treatment instructions because the details of recovery influence the final quality of the result.
