Wrinkling of the forehead and skin above the eyes and a sagging brow can be one of the first signs of aging.  People are exposed to damage from the wind, sun, and gravity on a daily basis.  These things can all contribute to the sagging brow and frown lines that can appear.  One proven method of redefining the brow is a plastic surgery brow lift.  This procedure allows a board certified plastic surgeon to rejuvenate the facial features by lifting the brown and tightening the muscles and tissue of the forehead.

Plastic surgery brow lifts using an endoscope are a minimally invasive procedure that is relatively easy and short.  The surgeon makes a few small incisions above the hairline and inserts an endoscope.  The small tube attached to a camera allows the surgeon to easily see what he is working on as he lifts the muscles of the forehead – tightening them and even repositioning them as needed.  This reduces the wrinkles and creases that have formed on the forehead as well as lifting the eyebrows.

There is very little scarring because the incisions are very small, and because it is short and easy, the plastic surgery brow lift is performed in an outpatient facility, usually with a local anesthesia. This aids in shortening the recovery period, and also helps to minimize the temporary bruising or swelling that can occur.  Patients are pleased with the new youthful look, which also helps them to feel younger and more rejuvenated.  Be sure to consult with your surgeon to determine which procedures are right for you.
