Working from within the upper blepharoplasty incision, a prominent brow fat pad may be thinned and shaped (browplasty) and/or the brow itself supported at a slightly higher level by reinforcing it's connection with the underlying bone (browpexy) using sutures. While the enhancement may be subtle, this technique is not nearly as invasive or costly as other approaches. Browpexy creates no additional external scars or scalp hair loss and will not leave the face looking surprised. A Browpexy may also be used to reinforce a slightly drooping brow during upper eyelid surgery to prevent further downward migration.
