Brow lift
A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift or browplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to lift and tighten the skin of the forehead and brow area. This procedure aims to reduce sagging, wrinkles, and lines on the forehead, as well as improve the position of the eyebrows. A brow lift can help create a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.
-
Forehead Tissue Adjustment: The surgeon may adjust the underlying tissues of the forehead, including muscles and sometimes fat, to lift and reposition the brows.
-
Skin Removal: Excess skin is often removed to address sagging and wrinkles. The remaining skin is then re-draped for a smoother appearance.
-
Incisions: Incisions for a brow lift can vary. They are commonly made within the hairline to minimize visible scarring. The surgeon may also use endoscopic techniques, involving smaller incisions and the use of a camera for guidance.
-
Brow Positioning: The goal is to elevate and reshape the eyebrows to a more youthful and aesthetically pleasing position.
-
Recovery: Recovery time can vary, but patients may experience some swelling and bruising. Following post-operative care instructions is essential for optimal healing.
