Drooping brows as well as creases and lines are a side affect of aging that can make one appear angry, sad, old or tired.
Forehead lifts are commonly used to minimize this most frequently in people 40-60 years old and often make them appear 10 years younger than their actual age. By simply lifting and repositioning the skin, the muscles that caused the lines are weakened causing the forehead to become smoother and firmer than before.
Some good points:
Most are done under general anesthesia in your surgeon’s office.
The patient goes home within a few hours of surgery
Pain is generally easily managed
Most visible signs of surgery fade completely within about 3 weeks
Complications are unusual and generally minor
Ideal candidates are:
People with good facial skin elasticity
In good physical health
Psychologically stable
Non-smokers, or able to stop before and during the healing process
Wanting to improve the appearance of furrows or frown lines on the forehead
Well informed in regard to the procedure’s outcome
Having realistic expectations
Do you have a sagging forehead or brows that hang a little too low or close to your eyes?
Or deep frown lines between your eyebrows?
You might just be a candidate for a forehead lift. Seek the advice of a trusted plastic surgeon to discuss your expectations and budget. And be sure to ask for “before and after” photos of recent patients.
