This 68 year-old female had eyelid surgery when she was in her 20’s but wanted revision surgery to remove the fullness near the corners of her upper eyelids.

This 69 year-old female had a complicated past medical history that contributed to her lid droop. First, she had a tumor removed from the front of her skull that left her with a bony depression in her forehead. During the surgery to remove the tumor and repair the bony defect, there was an injury to the nerve that stimulates the elevation of the brow muscle. An ophthalmologist mistakenly attributed the drooping to excess upper eyelid skin, and performed a blepharoplasty to remove some skin. In fact, the problem was not extra eyelid skin, but a drop in brow position. When I saw this patient in consultation, I recommended direct brow lift surgery to restore proper brow position.
