Exciting Changes You Can Achieve with Brow Lift
You may think that facelift is the best procedure for addressing signs of aging, but it is limited to the region on your lower face and neck. If lines and sagging skin at the top of your face are the real source of your discontent, you may consider looking into brow lift instead.
Dr. Joshua Greenwald performs brow lift by making an incision along the hairline and then removing surplus skin and fat from the forehead. After pulling the remaining skin taut, he sutures the incision. In this blog, this elite plastic surgeon describes some of the major changes he can accomplish with brow lift surgery.
Minimizing Forehead Lines
At a young age, you may notice lines appear and then quickly vanish when you make certain facial expressions. As you get older, however, those lines linger on your skin for longer and longer, even when your face is resting. Brow lift smooths the skin on your forehead, effectively minimizing deep-set wrinkles for upwards of a decade.
Improving the Eyebrow’s Arch
Youthful eyebrows sit higher on the forehead. As the skin begins to sag, however, the eyebrows gradually droop, losing some of their impressive curvature. When your forehead skin is tightened, your brows can return to an elevated position.
Tackling Eyelid Drooping
While upper blepharoplasty is the most popular procedure for addressing a sagging upper eyelid, brow lift can also have a positive effect. As skin and fat on your forehead sags, it can push down on your eyelid, making it difficult to open fully. In addition to diminishing the field of vision, this ages the face. By removing some of this excess skin tissue, brow lift can help restore functionality to the eyelids.
Reducing Crow’s Feet
Those little lines that extend from the outer corners of the eyes are one of the surest signs of aging, even though the real culprit is squinting. While injectable treatments can help minimize these lines’ appearance, brow lift has a longer-lasting effect on unwanted crow’s feet.
Altering Your Facial Expressions
Unfortunately, when deep-set lines appear on your face, it can make you look perpetually sad, angry or judgmental — even when you are truly happy on the inside! When brow lift softens these expressive lines, your face has an easier time only conveying emotions when you intend it to.
