CORRECTION OF THE SAGGING BROW (FOREHEAD LIFT)
In both men and women a fatigued and tired
appearance caused by drooping of the outer margins of the eyebrow is often one
of the earliest signs of aging. The eye appears crowded and smaller than normal,
with abnormal fullness of the upper lids.
Recent advances in the forehead lift operation
allows reshaping of the sagging brow, removal of forehead frown lines, and more
aesthetic contouring of the eyebrows with minimal skin incisions at
significantly lower risk. Visualization and surgical manipulation is
accomplished via a small camera and special instruments that are inserted
through a few small incisions within the scalp. Healing is rapid because of
minimization of skin incisions. Incisions are nearly invisible inside the
hair-bearing scalp. More traditional methods of forehead and brow lifting are
still utilized in special circumstances.
The brow-lift operation may be effectively
combined with the blepharoplasty (eyelid) or facelift operation or may be
performed independently as an outpatient procedure.
