How The Brow Lift Procedure Helps To Keep You Looking Young

Gravity, aging and genetics all play a role in how we look. As we get older our skin becomes less taut and begins to sag, especially around the forehead, eyelids and eyebrows. The brow lift is a surgical procedure that can correct the issue of sagging and make you look younger and more refreshed.

What is a brow lift?

A brow lift is a procedure that reverses the effects of aging and gravity by tightening the soft tissues of the forehead, eyelids and eyebrows to create a youthful appearance. Depending on the areas of your forehead that require tightening, there are different brow lift methods that can be done. However, each procedure type aims to restore your brow to a better position. For example, when you were younger, your brow would be at rest above the orbital rim (the anterior edge of the bony orbit or eye socket) with a gradual arch appearing laterally. But, as you age, the brow assumes a flat or horizontal position complete with sagging. When our brows sag it makes us look tired and older and can inhibit the facial expressions we make. With a brow lift, your brow will be rejuvenated and you will look more rested and younger.

Does a brow lift actually keep you looking young?

It does! Because your brows will be repositioned and tightened you’ll actually look more alert. Brow lifts can also make us appear more approachable, happier and friendlier, all of which are adjectives associated with youth. Moreover, brow lift surgery can take years off your face by diminishing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines at the top of the forehead, between the eyes and eyebrows, and around the bridge of the nose. Finally, the hooding that develops around the eyelids is dissipated when the brows are raised.

Am I a good candidate for this procedure?

There are many reasons to consider a brow lift besides to correct sagging or low eyebrows. If you suffer from excess skin and fatty tissue hanging over your eyes and deep horizontal creases across your forehead you are a good candidate for a brow lift. Furthermore, if you have frown lines and furrows between your eyebrows and on top of your nose, you should consider a brow lift.

Because a brow lift is a minimally invasive surgery, most people are able to recover within seven to 10 days.
