Are there any ways to lift your eyebrows without botox or cosmetic surgery? Are there any products which really tighten sagging skin?
Let me know if anything has accomplished this for you.
I'm only 27 and my eyebrows have dropped considerably. Thanks in advance!!  |

| You can have filler injected to simulate a natural brow bone. |

| I guess it's safer to do facial exercises rather than using any creams. |

I see you have sent 41 posts since joined on Feb 08, 2010, the same day as the original post here...  Sorry to hear that at only 27 your eyebrows have drooped. There are a lot of answers here. But it may help to know if you have any illness that may cause this early droopiness.
And if not try Safetox or Vaculift, facial exercises as already said, creams with collagen and elastin boosting, or more extreme Botox or cosmetic surgery.
It would be better to say which part of your facial skin is sagging, if only eyelids or all, I would seriously check out with a doctor if it were all.
Massage is certainly good, check out the Tanaka thread.

The options mentioned are the only ones I can think of at this moment, unless starting with light therapy like Anti-Aging Light Stim, but you seem far to young.
But also it still feels to me far to young to see problems in these areas... |

| The Carole Maggio eyebrow lifting exercise will lift your brows in a week. At least that's what it did for me. |

| I'm wondering if the OP has some nerve damage or a type of Bell's Palsy. Odd to have sudden drooping so young. |

| I have drooping eyelids at just a few years older. The drooping was more consistent with a person that was 5+ yrs older than me as advised by a opthalmology(sp??)surgeon. She just said that it is known to happen and that a bleph would solve it. I wonder if diet/ some other lifestyle thing caused it though. Then again one of my parents has quite sensitive eyelids too. |

Sounds like you have ptosis.

I had that condition and this was my doctor. I got free blepheroplasty because the insurance paid for it, too! I plan to see him again because I have ongoing eyelid problems related to a previous illness but I don't have insurance.

TTD, you need to see an oculoplastic, don't let just any plastic surgeon touch your lower eyelids. Oculoplastics are trained to address that precise problem. I developed "ectropion", which is another form of droopy eyelid; it was not severe but it was related to a previous blepharoplasty for lower eyelid with a plastic surgeon. I developed scar tissue that was pulling my lower lids down. I was told not to let it pass to long because you can develop other serious problems in your eyes.
They will also tell you to do exercises pulling *softly* with lotion your lids with your middle finger upward and to tape your lids witch special tape at night, depending on the severity of your case. |

I agree that a regular plastic or cosmetic surgeon wouldn't be suitable. Dr. Fett is an ophthalmic plastic surgeon who only does eyelids, inside and out.
To fix my ptosis, he had to go inside the upper eyelid and make a tiny adjustment using a special instrument. I don't remember the details because it was about ten years ago. He also sealed up my tear ducts because I had dry eyes. It was all outpatient and I was home in a couple of hours.
The blepheroplasty to remove excess skin and fat was a bonus! |

| The Tua Viso has made a difference for me. I've used it consistently an hour a day 5 days a week for three months and have been accused of having plastic surgery and/or Botox. |

| Santa Maria Runge has a great exercise for lifting brows, YEOWCH it hurts but the pain is worth it. And I love the bone massage point for the brows too, another eye waterer but nice result. Don't know where that Bone Massage thread has gone though, been away a while. Hawthorn. |
