Brow Lift
A brow lift can address unattractive expression lines or other signs of aging in the brow region.
A brow lift:
-
Minimizes forehead and between the eye creases
-
Improves frown lines
-
Repositions a low or sagging brow that hoods the upper eyelid
-
Raises the eyebrows to a more alert and youthful position
Rejuvenation procedures typically performed in conjunction with a brow lift include:
Common Brow Lift Procedures
Endoscopic Brow Lift
A brow lift may sometimes be performed using an endoscope (surgical video device) and special instruments placed through small incisions made within the hairline. This allows the tissue and muscle beneath the skin to be repositioned, altered or removed, correcting the source of visible creases and furrows in the forehead.
Coronal brow lift
The coronal brow lift can pinpoint specific regions of the brow to correct. This technique involves an incision from ear to ear, lifting the forehead and removing excess skin from the scalp. Recovery time is often longer than the endoscopic brow lift due to the size of the incision.
Subcutaneous forehead lifts
These are our least commonly performed of all brow lifts. In this technique, an incision is made across the top of the forehead, where the hairline begins. All of the muscle alterations that are performed through a coronal lift are possible through this operation. Also, excess skin is removed. The hairline is not moved higher (unlike the other two techniques).
Incision lines from a brow lift are well concealed within the hair or natural contours of the face unless they are placed at the hairline to shorten the forehead.
Results appear gradually as swelling and bruising subside to reveal smoother forehead skin and a more youthful, restful appearance. Initial wound healing may take 5 to 10 days, at which time any sutures or clips are removed.
