Forehead and Brow Lift

Due to age or excessive facial expressions such as frowning, the forehead shows signs of ageing such as wrinkles, creases and drooping eyebrows. The brows are often the first indicators of ageing as the skin of the forehead begins to lose its elasticity. This can make you appear angry, depressed, sad, or tired-looking.

The brow lift is a procedure designed to reverse the signs of ageing in the forehead and brows by elevating the brows and weakening the muscles that cause the deep creases. The commonest age group for brow lifts is men and women between 40 and 60 years.

Brow lifts are commonly done in addition to other facial surgery, such as a facelift, eyelid surgery, or cheek or chin implants.

Post-operatively, you will look younger, feel more confident, and your eyes will appear fresh.

Types of brow lifts

Mini Brow Lift

A mini brow lift is a minimally invasive procedure that tightens the skin and muscles in the forehead. It involves making multiple small incisions behind the hairline.

Lateral Brow Lift

This procedure targets only the outer brow, and corrects drooping of the eyebrows, by removing excess skin and lifting the outer 1/3 rd of the eyebrows.

Endoscopic Brow Lift

This involves creating 3-6 tiny incisions through which an endoscope is placed. The entire brow area can be lifted by this procedure, and the muscles that cause the grooves can be appropriately weakened.

Classic Brow Lift

This procedure is the oldest and most reliable method in brow lift surgery, and is also known as the Coronal Brow Lift. However, this procedure is not commonly performed any more because of the large incision required. It is especially indicated for raising the hair line.

Incisions are always positioned for least visibility and can be placed within or at the hairline, or even inside a deep forehead crease, or just above the eyebrows.
