Dr. Karen Horton’s Insights on the Benefits of Combination Eye and Brow Lifts
A recent blog on the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) website titled “Combination Eye and Brow Lifts: How This Pairing Can Help Combat Filler and Toxin Fatigue” explores the growing popularity of surgical interventions for patients seeking longer-lasting solutions to the signs of aging. Dr. Karen Horton, a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in San Francisco, provided key insights into the benefits of combining eye and brow lifts, particularly for those who may feel exhausted by the frequent maintenance required with injectables like Botox and dermal fillers.
In the blog, Dr. Horton explains the basics of combining these procedures, which target sagging brows and drooping eyelids, creating a more youthful, sculpted appearance. She highlights how blepharoplasty (eye lift) and brow lifts work in tandem to address common age-related concerns such as hooded eyelids and a tired appearance. Patients in middle age often notice these changes first in their brows and eyes, and the combination of both procedures can deliver long-lasting results that surpass the effects of injectables.
Dr. Horton also emphasizes considerations for patients considering a combination of eye and brow lift, including preparing for surgery and allowing sufficient recovery time. She advises patients to plan for at least a month of social downtime since the face is difficult to hide during recovery.
By offering surgical alternatives like a combination eye and brow lift, Dr. Horton helps patients achieve natural, rejuvenated results that minimize the need for frequent injectable treatments. This approach provides a long-term solution for those seeking a refreshed, youthful appearance.
