A brow lift or forehead lift as it is popularly referred to, is a cosmetic procedure that involves the removal of extra tissue and smoothening of the brows. By doing this, you can instantly give an uplift to your overall facial appearance. It addresses several common concerns like sagging forehead and the forehead skin that not only brings down the appearance of the area but also alters the way your eyes appear. It gives you a dull, tired, and aged look, especially with the appearance of lines.
How can a brow lift procedure help?
By opting for a brow lift procedure, you can rejuvenate the youthful appearance of your face by getting rid of noticeable folds on your forehead which instantly refreshes the look of your eyes making them seem less tired. The procedure basically involves tightening the skin by getting rid of excess tissue. It then lifts the skin of the brow and forehead through several incisions that are kept carefully concealed along the hairline. By the end of the procedure, you will be left with brows looking smoother, younger, and more beautiful.
Some of the concerns that a brow lift procedure can address include:
- Flattened brow arches
- Descended brows
- Deep horizontal creases that are formed across your forehead
- Fatty tissues or excess skin that starts hanging above your eyes
Here are some of the more noticeable changes you can bring about on yourself after undergoing a brow lift procedure.
You will no longer look tired all the time
Fine lines and creases across your face scream inadequate sleep and a distorted routine even though you feel well-rested. Your face, however, tells a different story by looking continually tired. In such a situation if you consider undergoing a brow lift procedure in itself or along with any other relevant facial cosmetic surgery, your appearance will undergo a sea of change, making you look fresher and rested at all times.
You will have a more pleasant, happier appearance
Your brows could give the impression to people that you are constantly angry or upset about something depending on the amount of wrinkling or sagging you have. So even when you are smiling, your appearance does not improve. Instead of going on like this and harboring wrinkles that do not give the correct picture of your mood, you should undergo a brow lift procedure. You will notice a world of difference in the way people perceive you once you have undergone the procedure and recovered.
You will enjoy a more youthful look
Permanently furrowed brows tend to give you an aged, grumpy, and upset look perpetually. Sometimes, it even makes you look older than your actual age. However, once you have a brow lift your face reflects a more accurate picture and you start looking and feeling your actual age.
Your eyes start getting noticed more by people
If you start having a brow that sags, it immediately takes all attention off your beautiful eyes and all the emotions you express with them. Thus by keeping a sagging brow you cause interference with your ability to communicate effectively with others, albeit in a non-verbal manner. However, by undergoing a brow lift, your eyes become more noticeable and so do your emotions.
Get dramatic long-lasting results
Although many people go for treatments like Botox and Juvederm to address concerns of forehead creases and get the appearance of a raised brow line, the results may be short-term and require regular repetitions. However, by getting a brow lift you get long-term results, correction of facial creases, along with sagging and drooping skin along your brow line.
Choose the right brow lift technique
Traditional or Full Brow lift
If you go for a traditional brow lift, your plastic surgeon makes an incision near the top of your head but well concealed within your hairline. The skin of the forehead will then be taken apart from the underlying muscular structure. They will now reposition the tissue and muscles here to give you a firmer look.
Endoscopic (mini) brow lift
You can also go for a mini brow lift in which case your plastic surgeon will use an endoscopic approach where a thin tube with an attached camera is employed to view and reposition the structure on the undersurface of your face. Your doctor will place short incisions around your scalp that will allow them to sculpt and adjust your muscles and facial tissues.
