subject: Some General Cosmetic Surgery Information About Brow/forehead Lift [print this page] What is the cosmetic surgery procedure known as a brow lift? A brow lift, sometimes referred to as a forehead lift, is a plastic surgery procedure performed by a cosmetic or plastic surgeon. It repositions a sagging brow, and helps to minimize creases that occur with age across the brow and forehead area.
A brow lift will also usually help to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles that have developed on the bridge of the nose. Generally speaking, you are a good candidate for a brow or forehead lift if you are in good overall health and have realistic expectations of what this plastic surgery procedure can do for you.
In many cases, the cosmetic surgeon will perform other types of cosmetic surgery in conjunction with a brow lift. The other procedures might include blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, as well as a facelift.
People of both genders have brow, or forehead lifts--men and women alike. Many people, who elect to have this procedure do so for professional reasons, because they are in a career that would benefit from maintaining a more youthful appearance. A brow lift will not only help you to look younger, but it can also do wonders to help you appear more rested and rejuvenated.
The truth is that if age has caused your brow to sag and droop, this can tend to give you a tired, even sad look. So, a brow or forehead lift may also help you to look more energetic and happier, as well as younger.
Brow surgery is usually performed under a general anesthetic by a plastic surgeon, and often requires an overnight stay in the hospital or cosmetic surgery clinic. The resultant thin scar is normally hidden in the hairline. Brow or forehead surgery can help to give you a younger, revitalized look.
