Brow Lift Cosmetic Surgery

Patients who consider a brow liftare mostly over the age of 40 and have developed forehead wrinkles through the natural ageing process. However a forehead lift can be considered by a person of any age who has developed wrinkles on the forehead through stress or over activity of underlying muscle and wishes to have a more vibrant youthful look.

What does the brow lift procedure involve?

In the past, brow lift plastic surgery was most commonly performed by making incisions on the forehead which would allow the cosmetic surgeon to remove excess fat, skin and muscle from the forehead.

However due to advances in endoscopic techniques, most cosmetic surgeons have now abandoned the older surgical techniques in favour of endoscopic brow lift surgery. Cosmetic surgeons can now perform

the entire brow lift cosmetic surgery procedure by making a few tiny incisions (a few half inch incisions hidden behind the hairline) through which an endoscope is then passed to elevate the brows and smooth forehead wrinkles. Endoscopic forehead lift cosmetic surgery has proved to be particularly popular because it results in minimal visible scarring, has low complication rates and does not require any hair shaving.

Although brow lift surgery is often performed on its own, it is also commonly performed alongside other facial cosmetic surgery procedures such as eyelid surgery or face lift plastic surgery. Therefore the exact surgical procedure which is used to perform your brow lift surgery will depend on your requirements which you can discuss in depth with your cosmetic surgeon.
