EYEBROW / FOREHEAD LIFT

A heavy drooping brow can alter the way you look and feel. Eyebrow position is a key factor to facial rejuvenation.

A normal female brow starts next to the nose and gently arcs over the bony eye socket to reach a high point between the outermost color portion of your eye and the bony edge. A male's eyebrow arc is less pronounced and rides along the bony rim. When the brow is low, an unnatural appearance is seen. The patient looks tired and angry.

The extra weight causes a build up of skin and a droopiness of the upper eyelid. Surgical improvement refreshes the eyebrow/eye region. This surgery is often combined with eyelid lifts to create a complete rejuvenation of the upper face.

Together with a facelift, the entire face can be rejuvenated. Dynamic facial lines are often seen around the nose and on the forehead. Utilizing Botox® Cosmetic prior to the surgery will help erase these lines and prevent the underlying muscles from pulling the brow down after it is re-suspended during surgery.
 

PROCEDURE DESCRIPTION
New advanced technology allows Dr. Harris to operate on the forehead without making large incisions across the top of the head. With the use of endoscopes, (like orthopedic knee surgery) five small incisions can be used to elevate the brow. This decreases the amount of bleeding during the procedure as well as the amount of scalp numbness.

Traditional techniques, large incisions in the hair of the scalp and at the forehead/hair junction, can also be used if appropriate. These procedures are usually performed under general anesthesia in the Outpatient Surgery Center. This procedure is often combined with face-lifting and is all completed at one session in the outpatient facility.
