A brow lift is most often done to raise drooping eyebrows and smooth out wrinkles and creases on the forehead and between the eyes. The tissue of the forehead and brow can sometimes sag down over the upper eyelid to such an extent that the eyelashes and eyebrows meet. Wrinkles in the forehead and the frown lines between the eyes become fixed. These wrinkles and creases can cause a person to look tired, sad, or angry all the time.
A brow lift alters or removes the tissues that cause furrowing and drooping of the forehead, raises the eyebrows, and reduces frown lines. The brow lift is performed trough an incision made from ear to ear across the crown of the head. The pattern of the incision follows much the same line as a set of headphones. The skin of the brow is lifted carefully and some of the underlying muscle tissue is altered or removed. This leaves the face with a less tired and more rejuvenated appearance.
