Do a sagging forehead and droopy eyebrows make you look permanently tired or sad? If you’re frustrated with forehead wrinkles and skin laxity, you may benefit from a brow lift to rejuvenate your appearance.
What is a Brow Lift?
A brow lift is a cosmetic procedure designed to lift and tighten the skin of the forehead and eyebrow area. Also known as a forehead lift, this procedure is often performed to address signs of aging, such as sagging skin, wrinkles, and drooping eyebrows, that can make a person look tired, angry, or sad.
Dr. Stein performs brow lifts with an advanced endoscopic technique to minimize downtime and scarring. During the procedure, he will make small incisions within the hairline to lift and tighten the skin. Depending on the individual’s needs, he may also remove excess skin or reposition the muscles and tissue. Brow lifts can be performed alone or in combination with other facial rejuvenation procedures, such as a facelift or eyelid surgery.
Top 5 Benefits of a Brow Lift
A brow lift can smooth out wrinkles on the forehead, lift the eyebrows, and restore a more youthful and refreshed appearance to the face. Here are some of the primary benefits you can expect from a brow lift.
1: A Lifted, Refreshed Forehead
Decreased collagen production and sun damage lead to skin laxity as we age. This results in droopy eyebrows and sagging skin on the forehead for many people. A brow lift lifts and smooths the skin to a more youthful position, making you look more refreshed and alert.
2: Reduced Creases, Lines, and Wrinkles
Wrinkles are common around the forehead since we move this area frequently to make facial expressions. A brow lift can smooth away frown lines, forehead creases, crow’s feet, and more.
3: No Visible Scarring
Because Dr. Stile uses an endoscopic technique and only makes small incisions within the hairline, the incisions are well concealed. Any scarring is inconspicuous once healed.
4: Long-Lasting Results
Unlike non-surgical alternatives like Botox®, a brow lift will give you long-lasting results. A brow lift typically lasts several years. Taking care of your skin and health will help preserve your results, so a healthy lifestyle, quality skincare products, and sun protection are essential.
5: Short Recovery
A brow lift only requires a few weeks of recovery for years of rejuvenation. Most patients only need to take approximately ten days off work. You can resume exercise after three weeks, and you’ll start to see your final results in two to three months.
Am I a Good Candidate for a Brow Lift?
Most people who want to refresh and rejuvenate their appearance are good candidates for a forehead lift. You should be overall healthy, a non-smoker, and have realistic expectations for the procedure. Ideal candidates have naturally low-set eyebrows, or their brow has drooped with age.
