Brow Lift: It Can Help Fight The Signs Of Aging

A brow lift is a simple minimally invasive surgery that removes some of the sagging and deep creases across the forehead associated with aging.

One of the first signs of aging is often a sagging or wrinkling of the forehead and skin above the eyes. Daily life exposes both men and women to damage from the sun and wind and it often creates the appearance that people are tired or angry. The only proven solution to this kind of aging is a medical procedure known as a brow lift. In this procedure a surgeon can dramatically improve the appearance of a patients face in as little as a couple of hours through the use of endoscopic techniques. The result is a younger rejuvenated face.

Brow lifts are minimally invasive procedures in which a plastic surgeon makes a number of small incisions above the hairline. Once they have made these incisions the doctor lifts the muscles of the forehead, which remedies the creases and wrinkles and gives the face an overall tighter appearance. Because the incisions are made above the hairline there is often very little visible scarring and new techniques are being developed constantly that further reduce the physical signs of the operation.

Since the procedure is not very invasive most patients simply undergo IV sedation while the plastic surgeon performs. With the simple nature of the procedure and the fact that there is no need for general anesthetic most operations take no more than two hours.

Men and women that have undergone a brow lift report feeling younger and more rejuvenated than they have in years. Recovery often takes several weeks but afterwards most people report fewer deep lines and wrinkles, and a dramatic change in the way they perceive themselves. This operation appeals to many people, but it has been found to be most beneficial to people between 40 and 70 years old who are looking to improve the look of their foreheads.

Although the primary purpose for having this done is to remove lines and wrinkles across the upper face many patients have it done to remove a sagging appearance to the eyebrows or deep creases between the eyes and nose.

Although the results can be dramatic there are, as with any medical operation, risks involved. Besides the typical risks associated with plastic surgery such as infection, scarring and bleeding there are several complications specific to this procedure that should be considered. It is possible to lose either partial or full sensation in the area of the incisions. Additionally, sometimes the muscles of the face become paralyzed, which may require additional surgery to correct.

Although a brow lift can create a stunning difference in the youthful appearance of men and women, it is not without its risks. Patients should speak with a plastic surgeon and receive information regarding the risks and side effects before undergoing surgery.
