What is a Brow Lift (forehead lift)?
Let’s start with the basics
A forehead lift, or brow lift, is a cosmetic procedure performed to correct drooping eyebrows, deep “worry lines,” and other signs of aging and environmental exposure. It leads to a more youthful appearance by smoothing and tightening skin on the forehead while also repairing problems in patients with naturally low brows. Some patients will want to undergo eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) or other facial procedure concurrently with a brow lift so their features will have an equally youthful aspect.
What are the Benefits of a Brow Lift?
As one of the top facial aesthetics practices in Pennslyvania, Dr. Lohner has been seeing Philadelphia brow lift patients for over two decades. Below, we’ve included some of the benefits of the surgery:
- Improve sagging or drooping brows
- Help reduce wrinkles and fine lines in the forehead
- Improve self-confidence by looking younger and more refined!
Who are the Best Candidates for a Brow Lift?
Ideal candidates for a brow lift are individuals in their 40s or older. The brow line of these patients usually begins to droop, and noticeable wrinkles and fine lines may appear along the forehead. If the problem of drooping brows was inherited genetically, candidates in their 20s or 30s may also be right for this procedure.
The best candidates for a forehead lift are individuals who have a positive outlook and realistic expectations for the procedure. If you have heavy upper lids, sagging brows, and fine lines on your forehead, you may undergo a forehead lift. It is important that you are committed to following Dr. Lohner’s pre and post-surgery care instructions.
