Browplasty

A forehead lift is also known as browplasty. It reverses the effects of gravity and tightens the soft tissues of the forehead to restore a more youthful contour to your forehead skin, upper eyelids and eyebrows. There are various brow-lifting methods, which involve different lengths of incisions at different locations, and sometimes, an endoscope. A youthful brow at rest is positioned above the orbital rim, with a gradual arch laterally, and the lateral end or ‘tail’ of the brow located higher than the medial end. As one ages, it is common for the brow to assume a flat or horizontal position. If a sagging brow inhibits your facial expressions, a brow lift is a time-tested method for rejuvenating the upper third of your face. Every year, thousands of people undergo successful brow-lift surgery and are pleased with the results.

You are a good candidate for a blow lift if the outside of your brow sags, the central portion of your brow hangs low, making you look angry, you have a frowning line between your eyes, the surface of your upper eyelid has been obscured by drooping tissues as you have aged, or you gently lift the skin above your eyebrow to an acceptable position, and this makes most of the excess skin in your upper eyelid unnoticeable.

Rely on an evaluation from a board-certified plastic surgeon to find out if you would benefit from a brow lift, blepharoplasty, or both procedures. If you are in good general health and have a positive attitude and realistic expectations, you are most likely a good candidate for brow lift and eyelid surgery procedures.
