Browlift

A Browlift Can Help Reduce the Signs of Aging by Reducing Forehead and Eyebrow Wrinkles

With time, age, and gravity, the upper third of the face from the area just above the upper eyelids to the hairline can begin to descend, causing wrinkles to develop not only horizontally across the forehead but also between the eyebrows. This can give a person a tired or even sometimes an angry-looking appearance. Occasionally, patients might believe they have sagging upper eyelids, when in reality they have sagging brow lines.

Our doctor is skilled and accomplished in "browlift surgery," also known as a forehead lift. This procedure removes the wrinkles from the forehead and elevates the eyebrows, which combats the signs of aging, decreases frown lines, and raises naturally low or "heavy" brows. The result is a fresher, more rested look.

The Surgery

There are three basic approaches to browlift surgery, each with advantages and risks:

The Risks

As with all surgeries, patients should be aware of the risks, including bleeding, infection, and adverse reactions to anesthesia. Risks specific to browlifts can include loss of sensation, muscle weakness with the inability to elevate the forehead, temporary or even permanent hair loss, asymmetry or recurrence of sagging brows. In very rare cases, nerves are damaged and cause an inability of the patient to control eyebrow movement or wrinkle in the forehead; however, these issues can most often be corrected surgically.

An assessment of your current brow position and forehead condition will be performed during your consultation. Your goals and options will be thoroughly discussed as well.
