Brow Lift
What is a Brow Lift?
Brow lift surgery is a procedure designed to reposition the soft tissue and skin of the brow and forehead – rejuvenating the forehead, brow and eye area. A brow lift can be performed as a standalone procedure or in combination with other facial procedures, such as eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) or a face lift.
Why Have a Brow Lift?
A brow lift offers long-term correction to facial creases, as well as sagging, drooping skin across the brow line. Excess skin is removed, and the underlying structure is adjusted for a natural, youthful outcome.
Reverse Signs of Ageing
As we age, our skin loses its elasticity, and gravity takes its toll. This often results in sagging brows, deep forehead wrinkles, and furrows between the eyes. A brow lift can effectively address these issues by:
- Elevating drooping brows.
- Smoothing out forehead wrinkles.
- Reducing the appearance of frown lines.
Improve Vision
In some cases, sagging brows can droop so much that they obstruct your vision. By lifting the brows, this procedure can improve your peripheral vision, making daily activities like reading and driving safer and more comfortable.
Enhance Facial Expressions
Low or sagging brows can give you a tired, sad, or even angry appearance, regardless of how you feel. A brow lift can help you achieve a more alert, approachable, and youthful look by:
- Creating a more open and refreshed facial expression.
- Balancing your facial features.
How is Brow Lift Surgery Performed?
There are different techniques for brow lifts and each person is different, every brow lift or forehead lift should be customized to suit you.
Each variation of the brow lift can accomplish many of the same results. The main difference comes with where the incisions are made. Some incisions can be made on the scalp and hidden by the hair in the brow hair, or in the upper eyelid crease. Such procedures range from Endoscopic or Endo style brow lift, Direct brow lift and Trans-palpebral internal brow lift.
