A brow lift or forehead lift procedure can rejuvenate your appearance making you look and feel more rested, alert, and youthful. So which is a better option? A Brow Lift or a Forehead Lift?
Which Is Better?
Although there are some small factions that differentiate, a brow lift and a forehead lift are actually different names for the same surgical rejuvenation. Sometimes performed in conjunction with other plastic surgeries such as blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) or facelift procedures, the goal of a brow lift is to reposition low or sagging tissues to restore a more youthful look. For the purposes of this article we will refer to this rejuvenation as a brow lift.
What Is A Brow Lift?
A brow lift involves the repositioning and refining of the tissue and muscle beneath the skin through small incisions made along the hairline. When necessary your plastic surgeon will also remove any excess skin and tissue. Sometimes additional incisions in the crease of the eyelid will be made to eliminate frown lines between the brows or on the bridge of the nose. This surgical procedure is completed under general anaesthetic as an outpatient surgery. Recovery is about two weeks as your incisions heal and swelling and bruising decrease and most patients can resume work and regular activity at this time. Final results after surgery are generally achieved within a couple of months depending on the individual.
What Can A Brow Lift Do?
The main focus of brow lift surgery is to restore a more youthful appearance and allow your face to reflect the range of emotions you wish it to. Your brow lift should leave you looking lighter and brighter, more rested, happier, and younger. Here are the outcomes you can expect:
- The reduction or elimination of creases across your forehead and the bridge of your nose
- The repositioning of your eyebrows to a higher more youthful position
- The improvement of heavy, hooded upper eyelids
- The reduction or elimination of frown lines
- Smoother skin across your forehead
