A Brow Lift to Look Younger!

What is a Brow Lift?

 A brow lift is a plastic surgery procedure to improve the appearance of the facial region between the upper eyelids and the scalp, extending to the temples. The procedure itself improves low placement or sagging of the brows, and minimizes the appearance of lines and creases in the forehead. These conditions may be due to heredity or can just be attributed to the natural aging process. In some people, repeated facial expressions that are created by contraction of underlying muscles result in visible creases and deep furrows. A Brow lift can:

• Reduce furrows and other signs of aging in the forehead and brow areas, creating a softer, relaxed and rejuvenated facial appearance.


• Minimize the creases that develop across the forehead, or those that occur high on the bridge of the nose, between the eyes.


• Improve what are commonly referred to as “frown lines” – vertical creases that develop between the eyebrows.


• Re-position a low or sagging brow that is hooding the upper eyelid.


• Raise the eyebrows to a more alert and youthful position.

There are two methods to lift your forehead and eyebrow areas:

• Classic lift


• Endoscopic lift

The classic lift involves one continuous cut beginning at the level of your ears and going up around your hair line. Depending on where your hair line is, the surgeon will work to avoid a visible scar.

For the endoscopic lift, the surgeon makes a few shorter cuts in your scalp. He or she will insert a scope — a small camera on the end of a thin tube — into one of the cuts and use another device inserted in another cut to make the necessary changes.

In the endoscopic lift, the surgeon uses small anchors to secure the tissue. Because the cuts are smaller, this procedure is less invasive than the classic lift. You will have minimal scarring and a shorter recovery time.

The decision to undergo plastic surgery for a brow lift is a personal one and you should be aware that insurance does not typically cover cosmetic procedures. In order to best understand all of your options and possible scenarios, you should consult with a qualified surgeon. Make sure you ask a lot of questions and are totally comfortable with your surgeon before you choose to have surgery.
