If you're considering a Brow lift / Forehead lift, then this information will give you a basic understanding of the procedure, when it can help, how it's performed, and what results you can expect. It can't answer all of your questions, since a lot depends on the individual patient.
Sun, wind, age, and the downwards pull of gravity all affect the face, often causing frown lines, wrinkling across the forehead, and an increasing heaviness of the eyebrows as the skin loses its elasticity. Sagging eyebrows are usually first noticed in people who are in their forties, and this may be the time when you first start to think about a forehead or a brow lift. “Ptosis” (pronounced tosis)drooping of the forehead, has the effect of giving an “unhappy, stern, angry or worried appearance.” A brow/forehead lift can produce very pleasing results by reducing forehead creases, raising eyebrows and reducing hooding over the eyes in an area of the face that can show early signs of ageing for some people. In short, you should have a refreshed, open-eyed expression to your face after this treatment which will make you look younger. These results can last for between 7 and 12 years.
There are few reasons why you should not undergo a brow lift as long as you are in good general health and have realistic expectations of this operation. There are basically two surgical procedures that the surgeon may use which will be discussed at your consultation.
