During your brow lift consultation, your cosmetic surgeon will seek to determine the relationship between your upper eyelid, brow and the upper edge of the eye socket. Once this is clear, he'll lift the lateral (outside) portion of your eyebrow to establish how much correction will be needed to place your brow in the ideal position.

• For women, this ideal position is between five millimeters and one centimeter above the rim of the eye socket for the lateral part of the brow.
• For men, raising the brow this much could create a feminine appearance so the brow is positioned at the rim of the eye socket or slightly above.
• For both men and women the inside corner of the eyebrows should sit either just below or just above the edge of the eye socket.

Once your cosmetic surgeon has determined the ideal eyebrow position, he will evaluate the appearance of your upper eyelids. If significant excess skin would remain in the upper eyelid area even after brow lift, a combination of brow lift and upper lid lift may provide better results than either procedure alone. This is evaluated in the context of the forehead shape, as it will determine which type of procedure and access is best suited for you.
