Forehead & Brow Lift Surgery

As you age the skin begins to lose its elasticity. You can be in your 30s and have a face that shows the affects of gravity, stress or too much sun.

These factors can all result in frown lines, wrinkling across the forehead, and an increasing heaviness of the eyebrows.

You may have a face that looks older than your years or it may give you the appearance of looking angry or tired.

The drooping of the brow or eyebrows is a condition that is often overlooked, but a forehead or brow lift can provide a marked improvement in your appearance.

Consider the following questions if you are wondering if a forehead or brow lift might improve your appearance:

  • Do you look sad, upset, or just tired, but your expression doesn't reflect how you actually feel?
  • Do you have wrinkle lines across the forehead from constantly having to hold your eyebrows up in order to see better?
  • Have deep furrow lines developed between your eyebrows?
  • Do you have sagging, drooping eyebrows and upper eyelids?

    A forehead or brow lift is the procedure that raises your forehead to get rid of a furrowed brow or an angry look. The drooping of the brow or eyebrows is often one of the earliest signs of aging. The procedure lifts drooping eyebrows, eyelids and the nose while removing frown lines by tightening the underlying muscles and tissue.

    For many people, a brow lift is often the first procedure for facial rejuvenation. By raising the brow the whole face is brightened and it can be performed alone or in conjunction with upper eyelid surgery. Others may choose to include a brow lift when having a facelift performed to attain a more overall youthful appearance.
