Redefining Your Upper Face
What is a brow lift?
A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is a surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate the upper third of the face. The skin of the brow loses elasticity as we age, and the muscles that hold our brows in place weaken. This can cause the brows to droop, leading to horizontal forehead wrinkles, a tired appearance, and even hooding of the upper eyelids.
A brow lift can address these concerns by elevating the brow position and smoothing the forehead skin. There are two main types of brow lifts: endoscopic and open. Our experienced surgeons will discuss your goals and recommend the most suitable approach.
Rejuvenation Above the Eyes
What is the brow lift procedure like?
During a consultation at PSG, your surgeon will discuss your medical history and desired results. They will answer any questions you may have. The specific procedure details will vary depending on the chosen technique. Generally, a brow lift is performed outpatient under general anesthesia. Endoscopic brow lifts use small incisions hidden within the hairline to access the underlying tissues. Open brow lifts utilize an incision across the scalp. Regardless of the approach, the surgeon will carefully reposition the muscles and tissues to elevate the brows and smooth the forehead.
