What A Brow Lift Does

Brow lift surgery improves the face dramatically by creating a brighter and softer appearance. A brow lift corrects more than just the brows. It lifts heavy tissue out of the upper eyelid, making the eye look fresher and more open. It can also improve the frown wrinkles between the eyes.

When people look at you, they make eye contact. The forehead and brow tissues affect the appearance of the eyes. If your brow tissues sag downward, they intrude on your eyes, and can make you appear stern or tired.

Low eyebrow position and wrinkling can occur from heredity or from aging. Brow deformities can occur even in young individuals—as early as the twenties. By lifting your brows upward, your eyes will appear larger and more open—you can have a fresher, more energetic look. If your brow has inadequate arch, a brow lift can often create a more pleasing shape and arch to the brow. Proper positioning of the brow is important to achieve the most improvement possible, without creating an overly startled or unnatural look.

Wrinkling can occur simply due to your personal pattern of facial expression, a pattern that is almost impossible to voluntarily change. If you have marked wrinkling between the eyes due to excessive activity of the muscles of expression, muscle activity can be reduced to provide correction of this problem. Normal facial expression and adequate brow movements are preserved.
