Is a 3 mm brow lift very noticeable?

Question

I am considering a forehead reduction with a forehead lift. I want a small lift to look more refreshed, but not overdone. Is 3mm too much? Or is it small enough to give a slight change.

Randal Haworth, MD, FACS · Answer

The decision of how much lift is appropriate for a forehead reduction and lift procedure depends on several factors, including your individual facial anatomy, your desired outcome, and the recommendations of your surgeon. It's important to have a thorough consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon who can assess your specific case and provide personalized advice based on their expertise.

A 3mm lift is generally considered a conservative amount and is often used to achieve a subtle, natural-looking result. This small change can help address concerns such as a heavy or sagging forehead and can give a refreshed appearance without appearing overdone.

During your consultation, your surgeon will evaluate your facial features, discuss your goals, and provide recommendations based on their assessment. They will consider factors such as your forehead height, skin elasticity, and overall facial proportions to determine the appropriate amount of lift to achieve your desired outcome.

I hope this helps,
best of luck !

Yes it is a subtle but meaningful change whicj a properly done browlift can easily achieve.  However forehead reduction shoukd be more to make the scar at the hairline worth it.
