Understanding Brow Lift Surgery
A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is a sophisticated surgical procedure designed to correct the drooping or low position of eyebrows. The procedure addresses multiple facial concerns, including horizontal forehead creases, vertical frown lines, and asymmetrical eyebrow positioning.
Primary Benefits of Brow Lift
- Elevates sagging eyebrows
- Softens horizontal forehead lines
- Reduces vertical frown lines
- Refreshes overall facial appearance
Surgical Techniques
Endoscopic Brow Lift
Dr. Boswell specializes in the endoscopic approach, which involves 4-5 short incisions within the hair. This technique offers minimal scarring and shorter recovery time, effectively raising eyebrows and improving vertical frown lines.
Traditional Brow Lift
For patients with extensive forehead skin or significant horizontal wrinkles, a traditional brow lift might be recommended. The incision is strategically placed across the scalp, typically behind or below the hairline to ensure natural-looking results.
