Lateral Brow Lifts are Very Effective and can Produce a Natural Result
If there is a facial rejuvenation surgery that is over-recommended and often overdone these days, it is without question the browlift. Look no further than the celebrity photo magazines for pictures of stars who look like they have just sat down on a plate of tacks. The goal of aesthetic plastic surgery should be to make a person look better and more youthful, not merely different, and certainly not as though one is perpetually surprised. My goal is to provide my patients with results...

Brow lifts are for real and give great results
The standard brow lift is a quick operation and gives a very predictable result. The eyebrows are lifted and can be made symmetrical in height with each other and the direction of the axis of the eye can be adjusted. The commonly hated wrinkles of the forehead can be markedly improved by cutting the frontalis muscle. The 11 lines between the eyebrows can be removed by resecting the corrigator muscles from the orbital rim. Recovery is about a week. Bruising...

Effectiveness depends on the type of Browlift
There are various types of brow lifts each with their own advantages and disadvantages:
1. Direct Brow lift - This is a procedure where an ellipse of skin above the brows is removed. Upside is that you have a long lasting effect, the downside is that the patient has an incision mark above the brow. I never use this in female patients, only in male patients with deep creases in the their forehead already where the incision line can be camoflauged.
2. Direct temporal Brow lift -...

Brow Procedures: Creating a Perception of Relaxation
In my hands, brow lifts are treated as brow relaxation procedures. Slight elevation of the brows can create a perception of relaxation and can minimize the need for upper eyelid surgery.
I explain to female patients that one of the goals is to elevate the brow, with emphasis on the lateral third or "tail" of the brow. Furthermore, the major goal of the procedure is not to achieve an Olympic record in brow height, but to create the perception of a more relaxed person. The...

The Modern Browlift Beats Botox
The browlift operation has evolved in conjunction with endoscopic techniques but only came into its own when fixation and direct forehead muscle weakening were added to the mix. Fixation with bioabsorbable material allows accurate elevation of the brow so that the over- elevated brow (the Kenny Rogers effect) is rarely seen. Direct access to forehead and glabellar muscles and techniques to weaken these muscles has improved the longevity of the surgery and lessened the need for...

Brow Lift is very effective in achieving a refreshed look
As we age, our skin loosens and wrinkles, causing drooping of the forehead area as well as creases and lines that can make us appear angry, sad, old or tired. A forehead lift can address these problems by surgically altering the muscles and tissues that cause wrinkling and/or drooping in the area above the eyes. It can also help people of any age who have developed furrows or frown lines due to stress, sun damage or muscle activity. People with inherited conditions, such as a low, heavy...

The reasons to get a brow lift are few and simple
Since the development of the endoscopic technique, brow lifting has gained popularity with both patients and doctors. Gone are the days of open procedures with big incisions, long healing times and a potential for noticeable scarring. Endoscopic Brow lifting is an excellent, minimally invasive procedure, that provides high levels of satisfaction in the properly selected patient. It also helps to provide better balance to the face when other procedures, such as facelifts, midface lifts, and...

When performed properly, it's an excellent procedure
The key to a browlift, much like most of cosmetic surgery, is picking the right procedure for the right patient. Some patients are excellent candidates for a browlift, while others really only need eyelid surgery, so the first step is to consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who can analyze each aspect of your upper face carefully, including the arc or shape of the brow, the position and symmetry of your brows, the position of your hairline, and the amount of excess upper eyelid...

Endoscopic Brow Lift Helps Patients Achieve a More Youthful Appearance of the Brow & Forehead
Facial aging is frequently associated with descent of the brow. This results in the brow sitting at a lower than normal level which tends to make the patient look unhappy and on occasion, angry. It’s part of the characteristic findings that are seen with the aging process.
The brow lift has historically been performed in conjunction with facelift procedures in an effort to rejuvenate the facial appearance. Historically, this has been performed by making an incision...

Brow Lift for Effective Great Results
In the right patient, a brow lift can make a world of difference. There are several different types of brow lifts and which one a person may need just depends on their individual needs. Some examples would be either open, endoscopic, or the stitch method. Of those, endoscopic is the most common in that scarring is minimized and hidden. A brow lift can help a person achieve a more relaxed look, reduce wrinkling and lift brows. In essence, an answer to your question is that a brow lift is a...
