Signs of aging in the upper part of the face can appear gradually. Drooping brows, forehead creases, and sagging brows can give you a tired or even angry appearance. A brow lift or forehead lift refreshes this area for a brighter, youthful look. You will feel more confident and energized, and others will notice the difference.
What is a Brow Lift?
A brow lift is a surgical procedure also known as a forehead lift. It addresses the brow and forehead area by lifting the skin and underlying structures. A brow lift may be performed with traditional incisions but is more commonly performed endoscopically. This method uses tiny tools inserted through very small incisions. A brow lift addresses concerns such as sagging skin, forehead lines, and drooping brows.
Top 5 Benefits of a Brow Lift
A brow lift has many advantages for the right candidate. Benefits of a brow lift include:
Youthful, Refreshed Brows
A brow lift raises the brows to their youthful, lifted position. It also restores your natural brow arch, lifting sagging skin away from your eyes. While sagging brows can make you look tired, rejuvenated brows make your face more animated and energetic.
Smoother Forehead
Years of facial expressions can leave your forehead with horizontal creases. These lines can make you look tired or even give you a permanent frown. A forehead lift smooths this skin so the area looks lifted and refreshed.
Alert, Bright-Eyed Look
Many people notice that, after a brow lift, others remark that they look well-rested and energized. A brow lift tightens skin that used to sag over your eyes. As a result, you look refreshed and alert, ready to take on the day.
Long-Lasting Results
A brow lift provides most people with many years of satisfaction. The average person is happy with their results for ten to fifteen years. A brow lift cannot halt the effects of aging, so you will continue to develop skin laxity over time, but your results will not disappear.
Combines Well With Other Procedures
A brow lift is an excellent option by itself but also combines well with other procedures. Consider a brow lift combined with a facelift to address the upper, mid, and lower face in one surgery. Others combine a brow lift and eyelid lift for dramatic eye area improvements.
What is Recovery Like After a Brow Lift?
You may experience some swelling and bruising in the area that lasts a few weeks. Others may have no visible effects. Most people can return to work within five to seven days. You can return to your exercise routine and other activities within a few weeks. Full results can take up to six months to evolve as residual swelling fades.
Am I a Good Candidate for a Brow Lift?
Most healthy adults make good candidates for a brow lift. Ideal candidates want to address forehead lines, drooping brows, and other concerns. You should not have a brow lift if you have certain medical problems or are pregnant. Good candidates should have reasonable expectations about their results.
