Browlift/Forehead

The earliest signs of aging often occur in the brow, forehead, and upper eyelids. Wrinkling and scowl lines between the eyebrows are caused by frowning or furrowing the brow, while lateral hoods are formed when loose skin hangs over the outside corner of the eyes. Drooping eyebrows may also create an aged appearance. A brow lift addresses these issues by smoothing frown lines and forehead wrinkling, and correcting sagging skin in the eyebrows and eyelids to create a more vibrant and awakened appearence.   

The Procedure

A brow lift starts with several small incisions in the scalp. The tissues of the forehead are first loosened from the scalp and then elevated, smoothing the skin on the forehead and tightening the skin in the brow and eyelid areas. 

Recovery 

Patients should expect some discoloration and puffiness after surgery, with most swelling occuring in the first 2 days after surgery. Bruises and swelling should dissappear completely within 2 weeks, but strenuous activity should be avoided for up to a month.
