What is it?
A surgical brow lift is a cosmetic procedure also known as a forehead lift, forehead rejuvenation, browplasty or temporal lift.
Treatment-
Your surgeon will cut into your skin at the hairline or in the hair. He or she will maneuver tissues and remove segments of muscles and skin that cause wrinkles or deep frown lines. The incisions will then be closed with stitches or staples.
What are the types of Brow Lifts?
There are three methods to lift the forehead and eyebrow areas:
- The classic lift,
- Endoscopic lift and
- The limited incision.
Benefits-
A brow lift will improve the look of not just your forehead, but your entire face. It will raise your eyebrows, making you appear younger and awake. You’ll look inviting, happy and friendly.
Risks-
Like any surgery, brow lift surgery has some risks. Possible complications include:
- Poor scarring.
- Infection.
- Weakness of the brow movement.
- Intense scalp itch.
