- Thicker or Heavier Brows Due to Genetics: Some individuals naturally have thicker brows that may cause them to look sad or upset, even if they feel otherwise.

FAQ: Brow Lift and Eyelid Surgery
What is the difference between a brow lift and blepharoplasty?
A brow lift improves the appearance of the forehead and the area above the eyebrows, and it can also enhance the region near the nose. In contrast, blepharoplasty (eyelid lift) focuses on the orbital area, from the cheekbone to the brow bone, by removing excess skin and fat from the upper eyelid. However, blepharoplasty does not directly change the position of the eyebrows.
How long does recovery take for brow and eyelid surgery?
Recovery typically ranges from 10-14 days for most brow lift and blepharoplasty procedures. Full results may be visible after several weeks.
Will a brow lift or eyelid surgery leave visible scars?
Dr. Sedgh uses advanced techniques to minimize scarring, placing incisions in natural folds or along the hairline. Scars usually fade over time and are inconspicuous.
Can I combine brow lift and eyelid surgery?
Yes, combining both procedures can achieve comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Dr. Sedgh will customize a surgical plan based on your specific goals and anatomy.
Is eyelid surgery covered by insurance?
Insurance may cover eyelid surgery if it is performed to correct vision impairment. Dr. Sedgh’s office can help determine if you qualify for insurance coverage.
Are virtual consultations available for out-of-town patients?
Yes, Dr. Sedgh offers virtual consultations and can assist with travel arrangements, including hotel accommodations and aftercare services.
Brow and Eyelid Surgery Options
Dr. Sedgh provides a variety of brow and eyelid procedures tailored to the needs of each patient.
A brow & forehead lift elevates soft tissue and skin to enhance the appearance of these areas including the orbital area of the face. This procedure lessens wrinkle lines across the forehead and the nose bridge and improves frown lines. Brow and forehead lifts also elevate sagging brows and sets the eyebrows to emulate an alert and youthful appearance.
Forehead contouring can completely change the appearance of one’s forehead. Thus, it is deemed as a genuinely useful surgical approach. The procedure requires forehead and orbital bone shaping in order to eliminate the ridge and open up orbital appearance. It also creates a softer and more naturally feminine appearance.
Similar to an eyelid lift, eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty also corrects droopy eyelids. It can also require excessive skin, muscle, and fat removal. Your eyes can look younger and more alert through upper and lower eyelid surgery.

Surgeons perform an eyelid lift on patients in order to correct saggy or droopy eyelids and eliminate excessive eyelid skin. This surgical procedure is useful for improving older people’s eyesight, especially if their vision gets impeded by sagging skin on the upper eyelids.
With its primary focus on restoring male eyebrow and forehead symmetry, a male brow lift requires both surgical excision and forehead skin tightening. It can be a possible solution for male patients who want to lessen wrinkles and furrowed brows on their forehead.
Male eyelid surgery helps male patients appear refreshed by eliminating droopy eyelids and eye bags. Surgeons remove or reposition excessive tissue during this procedure, which aids patients in achieving a more vibrant appearance. Depending on the patient’s specific needs, doctors can perform male blepharoplasty on a patient’s upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both parts.
What to Expect from Brow or Eyelid Surgery with Dr. Jacob Sedgh
Once you decide to undergo a particular brow or eyelid procedure, you will have to go through three phases: an initial consultation, the actual procedure, and the recovery process. Each stage is thoroughly discussed below.
The Initial Consultation
Brow and eyelid surgery patients will have the chance to talk about their surgical goals and expectations during this stage. Dr. Jacob Sedgh will take the time to learn more about these desired results, as well as your personal background and medical history on your first meeting. He may also perform the following:
- A rigorous physical examination, which is specifically done on the target area
- A comprehensive explanation of the specific procedure and the necessary preparations for it
- A discussion on the best surgical execution plan possible for your particular needs
- An opportunity to answer all possible questions regarding the procedure
Brow & Eyelid Procedure
These procedures are typically performed as outpatient surgeries. Brow lifts can be done using various techniques, such as open, endoscopic, trichophytic, or coronal methods, depending on the patient’s needs. Eyelid surgery may involve upper or lower blepharoplasty, or both, with techniques tailored to the patient’s condition.
Brow procedures use different techniques. For instance, Dr. Sedgh can perform a brow and forehead lift using an open or an endoscopic method. But for male brow lifts, he can utilize various techniques such as trichophytic and coronal brow lifts. The doctor can also use the transblepharoplasty technique for a male brow lift. In terms of forehead contouring, the brow bone and other structural brow and forehead components will be restored and reshaped until Dr. Sedgh achieves the desired result. Eyelid procedures vary in approach as well depending on the patient’s eye conditions.
Asian blepharoplasty can be done using an incision or a suture technique. Upper eyelid surgery eliminates skin and fat using incisions, while lower eyelid surgery can require a transconjunctival approach. This pertains to incisions that are made precisely under the patient’s lash line or in their eyelid. Dr. Sedgh also offers virtual consultations for out-of-town and international patients. His office can also help patients arrange hotel accommodations, car rental, aftercare, and concierge services before and after the operation.
Brow Surgery & Blepharoplasty Recovery
Depending on the procedure, brow surgery recovery times may vary. Most brow lift patients will be able to come back to school or work within ten days, while male brow lift patients can take about 10-14 days to recover. If you have undergone forehead contouring, you can completely recover within one to two weeks while still being able to perform regular activities within several days.
Furthermore, blepharoplasty recovery usually takes several weeks. Asian eyelid surgery recovery generally occurs between a week to ten days.
Dr. Sedgh will personally observe and evaluate patients’ surgical results, physical condition, and overall health throughout the recovery process. By doing so, he is making sure that they recovery properly. The doctor will arrange a few post-operative appointments beginning from the day after surgery until one year post-op. These appointments can be conducted in person or via video conferencing.
