Patients must have their surgeon evaluate their brow position and eyelid skin redundancy before deciding on the proper procedure. Generally, most people concerned about saggy eyelids would benefit from blepharoplasty, and patients in their 40s, 50s, and beyond would benefit most from a combination of the procedures. Eyelid surgery is a relatively simple outpatient procedure with very little recovery time. At the same time, a brow lift performed with Dr. Maas's endoscopic technique also takes around an hour but involves more bruising and swelling and a week of recovery.
