What is Brow Lift?
A brow lift creates a more relaxed and youthful expression of the upper face by reducing the appearance of a tired, angry or sad looking face. Brow surgery restores a smoother, restful, and more spirited looking upper face. The surgery lifts sagging eyebrows, smoothens out the frown lines of the forehead, and reduces the hooding of the upper eyelids.
Either endoscopic, hairline, or upper eyelid incisions may be used to help minimize incisions and reduce visibility of scars. Muscles responsible for the forehead frown lines are surgically weakened, and brow soft tissues are re-suspended to lift up the eyebrows.
