Browlift Surgery

Deep furrows on the forehead, frown lines over the eyes, drooping eyebrows, and hood-like skin over the eyes are all conditions that can make you look older than you are – or feel. Whether age or heredity causes these conditions, a forehead lift (or brow lift) can give you a more youthful, animated and alert appearance.

A brow lift, moves eyebrows back where they belong: at or above the brow bone. It may also smooth the furrows in the lower forehead as well as reduce the drooping skin above the eyes. As a result of the surgery, the eyes appear more open, more rested and youthful.

Drooping eyebrows are often one of the first signs of aging. This condition is frequently overlooked because most people are unaware of the problem and the amount of improvement correction can provide. Drooping brows cause the upper lids to droop and move downward. In extreme cases, the eyelid skin can touch or overlap the eyelashes. People often comment that their eyes appear to be getting smaller or more deeply set. A drooping brow contributes to the tired look observed at the end of the day. For women, this condition frequently causes eye makeup to end up on the upper part of their eyelids soon after it is applied.

Forehead lift (or brow lift) surgery may lessen the deeper "crow's feet" next to the outer corners of the eye but will not reduce other lines or folds around the eyes. The lift will not correct excess skin or pouching caused by fat deposits in the lids. In order to achieve the best result, combining a forehead lift (or brow lift) with other procedures such as eyelid surgery, a facelift, anti-wrinkle or muscle relaxing injections is recommended.

During your consultation, your eyes, brows, forehead and hairline will be analyzed to determine the appropriate procedure for you. In forehead lift surgery, the incisions are placed behind the hairline of the scalp or at the hairline where the forehead and scalp meet. Placement depends upon the height of the patient's hairline. In order to achieve a natural result, it is critical to avoid appreciable altering of the hair pattern. Great care is taken to place incisions within the hair, hairline, or naturally-occurring fold of skin to make the resulting scars as inconspicuous as possible.

We invite you to call us at the clinic and make an appointment to see if browlifting or another facial rejuvenation procedure or cosmedical treatment will provide you with the results you are looking for..aaaa
