Brow Lift



(Forehead lift)





A brow lift is a cosmetic surgery procedure that raises the brow and upper third of the face to rejuvenate the area. The procedure can involve making an incision across the forehead, loosening muscles, removing fat, and repositioning the skin and brow muscles. There are different types of brow lifts, including a Classic or Coronal brow lift, Endoscopic brow lift, and a Temporal brow lift.



Types of Brow Lifts

  1. Classic or Coronal Brow Lift: The surgeon makes a long incision starting at or above ear level and running across the forehead to the other ear or along the hairline. The skin is then lifted, and any excess tissue or fat is removed. The surgeon may also realign the muscles and raise the eyebrows.

  2. Endoscopic Brow Lift: A minimally invasive procedure involving several smaller incisions and the insertion of an endoscope, a metal tube with a camera on the end. The surgeon can observe the tissues underneath the skin on a television screen and adjust them as needed.

  3. Temporal Brow Lift: This method focuses on the outer part of the brow, typically using smaller incisions at the temples to lift the brow area.


What?

A brow lift procedure addresses various signs of aging and improves the overall appearance of the upper face by correcting:

  • Creases or Wrinkles in Your Forehead: This includes the horizontal lines that run across your forehead and the wrinkles on the bridge of your nose. These lines can give an aged or stressed appearance, and a brow lift smooths them out, resulting in a more youthful and relaxed look.
  • Vertical Frown Lines Between Your Eyebrows (the "11s"): These lines, often referred to as the "11s," are vertical creases that form between the eyebrows due to repeated frowning or squinting. A brow lift softens these lines, creating a smoother and more serene expression.
  • Sagging Eyebrows (Hooded Eyes): Over time, the eyebrows can sag, leading to a heavy or hooded appearance of the upper eyelids. This can make the eyes look tired or sad. By lifting the eyebrows, the procedure opens up the eye area, making the eyes appear more alert and youthful.

Overall, a brow lift can rejuvenate the upper face, giving you a fresher and more vibrant appearance by addressing these common concerns.
