A brow lift procedure is a plastic surgery procedure designed to enhance the appearance of the eyebrows by reversing and correcting unfavorable changes that occur with time. Dr. Halaas specializes in brow lift procedure and forehead lift surgery in NYC.
As a result of the normal aging process skin loses elasticity and when this loss affects the forehead area it in turn affects the eyebrows.
Droopy eyelids may be, in part, the result of eyebrows that are too low. A brow lift impacts your eyes by creating a more open, youthful and pleasant appearance and this openness oftentimes improves vision.
Coronal forehead lift: An incision from ear to ear across the top of the head is made through which muscles are altered and a 1-2 cm strip of scalp is removed. The incision is closed.
Endoscopic forehead lift: Behind your hairline 4-6 incisions approximately 1 inch each are made. A tiny camera called an endoscope is inserted into each incision enabling visualization of the muscles.
With this approach the scowl-causing muscles can be weakened lifting the eyebrow but muscles that cause horizontal forehead wrinkle lines cannot be altered with this method. No scalp is being removed; it is just lifted upward and backward and secured in this position.
When this approach is utilized it may have to be repeated with time, especially when a person originally had very droopy eyebrows and deep forehead wrinkles.
This surgical technique does not cause temporary numbness to the top of the head.
Subcutaneous forehead lift: Across the top of your forehead at the hairline, an incision is made through which muscle alterations are performed as well as excess skin removed.
Direct Brow Lift Procedure: A variation of the subcutaneous forehead lift exists where the scar is performed in one of the horizontal wrinkles running naturally across the forehead.
This variation can be useful with men with receding hair lines or anyone with deep forehead lines.
