Though facelifts can target loose facial skin, sometimes forehead wrinkles require extra attention. Loose skin on the forehead can give the appearance of downward slanting eyebrows, making one look angry or tired and contributing to wrinkle lines. In these instances, a brow lift with Dr. Stein can correct drooping eyebrows by removing sagging skin and refreshing the underlying facial muscles.
How Does a Brow Lift Work?
A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift or forehead rejuvenation, is a surgical procedure to rejuvenate your appearance. This is done by pulling back and tightening excess skin on the forehead to reduce wrinkles and eyebrow droop.
By communicating closely with you to conceptualize your goals for the procedure, Dr. Stein can refresh and revitalize your appearance by tightening loose skin and repositioning facial muscles with anchoring sutures. Though some results will be noticeable immediately, the full aesthetic benefits of the procedure become visible in two to three months.
How Can a Brow Lift Help With a Drooping Brow?
As we age, sun damage, collagen loss, and gravity cause the skin to lose its elasticity, resulting in a lower position of the eyebrows on the forehead and a drooping brow line. A brow lift corrects this problem by removing excess skin and pulling the eyebrows back into place, resulting in a refreshed and youthful appearance.
Eyebrow lifts successfully target sagging brows and upper eyelids, deep wrinkles, and crow’s feet, making you look revitalized and more alert. These rejuvenating results often last many years.
What is Unique About an Endoscopic Brow Lift?
In his 26 years of experience, Dr. Stein has perfected his endoscopic eyebrow lift method and performs over 100 procedures yearly. Unlike the large incisions in alternative methods, an endoscopic brow lift procedure utilizes several small incisions hidden behind the hairline.
Dr. Stein uses an endoscopic camera to assess facial tissue and perform the procedure with increased precision. This results in less recovery and a more natural-looking, youthful appearance. Additionally, by placing the incisions behind the hairlines, an endoscopic brow lift ensures the most subtle scars.
What is Blepharoplasty?
While a brow lift targets loose skin on the forehead and drooping eyebrows, a blepharoplasty, also known as an eyelid lift, removes loose skin and fat directly from the eyelids. A blepharoplasty may be the correct procedure for you if drooping eyelids cause you to look perpetually tired or obstruct your vision. A consultation with Dr. Stein can help you decide which procedure is best for your specific needs.
