What is Browlift?
A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is a cosmetic surgical procedure aimed at rejuvenating the appearance of the upper face by addressing sagging brows, forehead wrinkles, and excess upper eyelid skin. The procedure involves lifting the brow to a more youthful position, which can help open up the eyes and create a more alert and refreshed appearance.
Am I Good Candidate?
• If you have brows that are drooping or sagging, creating a tired or sad appearance, a brow lift may be beneficial.
• If you have deep wrinkles or creases in your forehead, especially those caused by muscle movement (such as frown lines), a brow lift can help smooth out these wrinkles.
• If you have excess skin on your upper eyelids that contributes to a heavy or hooded appearance, a brow lift may help by lifting the brows and reducing the amount of skin that hangs over the eyelids.
• Like any surgical procedure, a brow lift carries some risks, so it’s important to be in good overall health before undergoing surgery. Your surgeon will assess your medical history and current health status to determine if you are a suitable candidate.
• Brow lift surgery requires some downtime for recovery, during which you’ll need to follow your surgeon’s post-operative instructions carefully. If you’re able to commit to the recovery process and follow your surgeon’s recommendations, you may be a good candidate for the procedure.
Benefits:
• A brow lift can help restore a more youthful and refreshed appearance to the upper face by lifting sagging brows and smoothing out forehead wrinkles and lines.
• A balanced and harmonious facial appearance can be achieved by addressing sagging brows and forehead wrinkles, helping to improve overall facial symmetry and proportion.
• While the aging process will continue over time, the results of a brow lift can be long-lasting, with many patients enjoying the benefits of the procedure for years to come.
• Brow lift surgery can be combined with other facial rejuvenation procedures, such as facelift or eyelid surgery, to achieve comprehensive and natural-looking results.
• The incisions for a brow lift are typically strategically placed within the hairline, helping to minimize visible scarring and ensuring a discreet and natural-looking outcome.
More Details:
Sagging eyes and brows can cause a tired and sad appearance. This will result in the development of deep skin creases in the forehead as the muscle struggles to open the eye and compensate for a lower brow.
A brow lift, or forehead lift, aims to restore the position of the eyes and brows, creating a youthful contour. The goal of the surgery is to elevate the brow, reduce excess upper eyelid skin, and eliminate forehead wrinkles and frown lines. It is often done with an incision just over the eyebrow, that is hidden within the hairs.
The purpose of Foreheadplasty is to bring the hairline lower in people with a long forehead. Once the hairline is advanced, the excess skin is removed. The incision (pretrichial) is usually hidden in the hairline and it is beveled against the hair follicles. This allows significant advancement of the scalp up to 4 cm and hair growth into the incision. This procedure takes around 2 hours and is usually done under local and sedation anesthesia.
Brow lift or forehead lift is often combined with other procedures such as facelift and upper eyelid surgery.
