 Browlift
A forehead lift is often performed to treat conditions associated with aging.
It may be done in conjunction with other rejuvenative surgery to achieve a more
harmonious facial appearance. A forehead lift is also appropriate for treatment
of certain inherited traits. Younger adults who have a low brow or who already
have deep frown lines due to stress or overactivity of muscles may benefit from
the procedure.
Any one or combination of the following conditions may indicate that you are
a good candidate for a forehead lift:
- sagging or low position of the eyebrows, creating a tired or sad
appearance
- deep horizontal creases across the forehead
- frown lines, or furrows, between the eyebrows and sometimes across the
top of the nose
A forehead lift can improve all of these problems. It may often be performed
at the same time as a facelift which removes excess skin and tightens muscles in
the mid and lower face. If there is significant skin overhang in the upper
eyelids, or puffy bags beneath your eyes, eyelid surgery may be recommended in
addition to a forehead lift. Your plastic surgeon will provide further
information if you have an interest in these procedures.
