Alternatives
Botox + filler
Can lift the brow and treat fine lines but cannot remove redundant skin or fat herniation.
Ptosis repair only
If the issue is muscle weakness rather than skin, ptosis repair targets that — often covered by insurance.
Browlift
If hooding originates from a low brow rather than excess lid skin, a brow lift fixes the root cause.
