Brow Lift: Turning That Frown Upside Down

Many of the main indicators of aging can be found on a person’s face. One of the most common (and most annoying) of these indicators are frown lines. These lines are the bane of many women since daily skincare routines aren’t enough to keep these lines from appearing. Also, many of these daily skincare routines are frustratingly temporary.

It’s a good thing there’s the brow lift, which is a more permanent solution to frown lines.

Brow and foreheads are the first and most affected areas of the face when it comes to lines. As people age, the slightest expression can curl the skin into these lines. This loss of elasticity also causes the eyebrows to go down and droop. The result is that a person looks more tired than they really are. Other factors that contribute to the wrinkling include sun and wind exposure, and gravity.

A brow lift “lifts” the skin that’s sagging on the forehead, upper eyelids, and eyebrows, to give a person a younger look. Brow lift comes in two types – classic and endoscopic. Classic brow lift is done with a single cut from ear level, around the hairline. Facial plastic surgeons know where to cut for minimal scarring. Endoscopic lift, however, utilizes shorter cuts in the scalp. A small camera will be inserted into a cut, and the surgeon will perform the procedure from there.

What Patients Can Expect From Brow Lift Surgery

As people age, so does their skin. Along with other factors, aging causes the skin to sag in various parts of the body. However, one of the first places on the human body this change can be felt is the forehead. Eyebrows become heavy and frown lines appear. This is where brow lift surgery comes in.

Through brow lift surgery, also known as forehead surgery, droopy eyebrows can be corrected. It’s a perfectly safe procedure that will restore the appearance of a person once looking fatigued.

Patients undergoing brow lift surgery can expect a number of benefits. Upper eyelids will be raised. The creases in the forehead will be smoothed out. The brow that sags and droops over the eyelid will be lifted. Frown lines between eyebrows will be dramatically reduced. Overall, the patient can expect to look younger and more refreshed.

Brow lift procedures themselves have evolved. No longer will patients have to undergo ear-to-ear incisions on the scalp. A new method called endoscopic brow lift makes the surgery as painless as possible with minimal cutting. The small incisions to be made can reduce swelling and quicken recovery like never before. And one of the best parts about it is the scars will barely be noticeable.
