Browlift
Forehead Lift
What is a Browlift or Forehead Lift Procedure?
The browlift is a procedure designed to elevate the brow to a more youthful position relative to the eyelids. Since most people focus on the area of the eyes when talking to you, it can by itself, make your whole face appear younger. Since the advent of newer, minimally invasive techniques for browlift, it has become much more common in young as well as older patients.
Who Can Benefit From a Browlift?
If you think you have excess skin in the upper eyelid, put your index finger above the mid portion of the eyebrow, and the thumb at the lateral (outside) part of the eyebrow. Lift to position the brow where you would like it to be. You will notice there is really very little excess skin. If you only remove "extra" eyelid skin, the brow will still be in a low position that makes the eye area look small and crowded rather than open and fresh.
A browlift, on the other hand, will make the eye complex appear more open and "fresh". A person with very severe "hooding" of the upper eyelid will benefit from both browlift and eyelid skin resection, or blepharoplasty.
A person with a lot of frown wrinkles, a "worried look", a "sad look", or an "angry look" may be treated with BOTOX, but the effects are only temporary, and the costs can add up after a few treatments. With BOTOX, the forehead can sometimes look "frozen".
In contrast, a minimally invasive browlift works by weakening the muscles that work to pull down or crease together the brows. The muscles that elevate the brow remain fully active. As a result, the brow is elevated, and the "worry lines" and forehead wrinkles are vastly improved.
