Brow
lift (also known as forehead lift ) is a cosmetic surgery procedure
which is performed to restore a more youthful appearance above and
around the eyes. Patients who consider a
brow lift are
mostly over the age of 40 and have developed forehead wrinkles through
the natural ageing process. However a forehead lift can be considered
by a person of any age who has developed wrinkles on the forehead
through stress or over activity of underlying muscle and wishes to have
a more vibrant youthful look.
What does the brow lift procedure
involve?
In the past, brow lift plastic surgery was most commonly
performed by making incisions on the forehead which would allow the
cosmetic surgeon to remove excess fat, skin and muscle from the
forehead. However due to advances in endoscopic techniques, most
cosmetic surgeons have now abandoned the older surgical techniques in
favour of endoscopic brow lift surgery.
Cosmetic surgeons can now perform the entire brow lift cosmetic surgery procedure by
making a few tiny incisions (a few half inch incisions hidden behind
the hairline) through which an endoscope is then passed to elevate the
brows and smooth forehead wrinkles. Endoscopic forehead lift cosmetic
surgery has proved to be particularly popular because it results in
minimal visible scarring, has low complication rates and does not
require any hair shaving. Although brow lift surgery is often performed
on its own, it is also commonly performed alongside other facial
cosmetic surgery procedures such as eyelid surgery or face lift plastic
surgery. Therefore the exact surgical procedure which is used to
perform your brow lift surgery will depend on your requirements which
you can discuss in depth with your cosmetic surgeon.
