The forehead and upper eye area can be tightened if needed with either a sub-brow or a brow lift. Normally, upper blepharoplasty can create a similar effect but for people with thicker skin, these may be a better option. In a sub-brow lift, the incision is made below the eyebrow, excess skin is removed, the skin is pulled and tightened. In a brow lift, the incision is made above the eyebrow, excess skin is removed,  and the skin is pulled and tightened.

What is right for you depends if there is enough space between your upper eyelid and your eyebrow for a sub-brow lift. If there is not enough space between the sub-brow area and the eye then a brow lift will better suit your needs.
