Professional Brow and Forehead Lift Solutions
Conveniently located to serve Niagara Falls and Buffalo NY
A brow lift or forehead lift reverses the effects of gravity and tightens the soft tissues of the forehead to restore a more youthful contour to your forehead skin, upper eyelids and eyebrows. There are various brow-lift methods, which involve different length incisions in different locations. A youthful brow at rest is positioned above the orbital rim, with a gradual arch laterally, and the lateral end or ‘tail’ of the brow located higher than the medial end. As one ages, it is common for the brow to assume a flat or horizontal position. If a sagging brow inhibits your facial expression, a brow lift is a time-tested method for rejuvenating the upper third of your face. Every year, thousands of people undergo successful brow-lift surgery and are pleased with the results.
When to Consider a Brow Lift
- Sagging or low eyebrow position that creates a tired, sad, or grumpy appearance
- Deep horizontal creases across the forehead
- Frown lines or furrows between the eyebrows or across the top of your nose
- Excess skin hanging over your eyes
Key Considerations for a Brow and Forehead Lift
PROS:
- Repositions a low or sagging brow that hangs over the upper eyelid
- Raises the eyebrows to a more alert and youthful position
- Makes you look happier, friendlier and more approachable
CONS:
- Recommendations for surgery are dependent on hairline location, especially in men.
- Choice of brow-lift technique is very important to outcome, so this procedure is very clinician dependent.
- You may also need blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), as a forehead lift does not fully correct excess upper eyelid skin
These are the top three pros and cons to weigh when considering a brow lift. If you want to focus on what is unique to you, please consult with your aesthetic plastic surgeon.
Am I a Good Candidate?
The following are some common reasons why you may want to consider a brow lift:
- The outside of your brow sags, resulting in a sad expression.
- The central portion of your brow hangs down, making you look angry
- If you are a female and you are unable to apply makeup on the upper eyelid, because the surface area has been obscured by drooping tissues as you have aged.
- If you gently lift the skin above your eyebrow into a pleasing position and it eliminates most of the excess skin in your upper eyelid, a brow lift may be right for you.
