Solving Drooping Eyebrows and Forehead Lines with a Brow Lift

Posted on October 2, 2024 in Brow and Forehead Lift, Plastic Surgery

A brow lift in San Francisco is a great option for men and women who are bothered by their naturally heavy brows or sagging brows that have developed with aging. The brow lift procedure offers many benefits to turn back the clock and rejuvenate a more refreshed appearance.

What is a Brow Lift?

A brow lift is a plastic surgery procedure that softens the brow and eliminates sagging skin and wrinkles from around the brows. Dr. Ransom uses a minimally invasive approach called the endoscopic brow lift, which only requires a few tiny incisions made behind the hairline. The soft tissues of the brow and forehead will be accessed and lifted through these incisions. With the endoscopic approach, patients will have no visible scarring and a shorter recovery compared to more invasive methods.

Brow lift surgery can be combined with blepharoplasty (eyelid lift) or a forehead lift for a more comprehensive approach that addresses the entire brow and forehead area.

Benefits of Brow Lift Surgery

A brow lift can have transformative effects on your appearance. These are some of the main benefits you can expect from a brow lift with board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Evan Ransom.

Restore the Natural Eyebrow Arch

The brow lift procedure aims to restore the natural contour and shape of eyebrows that may have become obscured by sagging skin or melded with wrinkles over time. Skilled plastic surgeons can rejuvenate the brow area, enhancing its youthful appearance.

Correct Droopy Brows

A significant benefit of brow lifts is the reduction of excess skin, which can be caused by factors such as UV exposure. Techniques like laser resurfacing and surgical excision can effectively tighten and smooth the skin, promoting collagen and elastin production for enhanced firmness and texture.

Improve Upper Eyelid Sagging

Lateral hooding refers to heaviness on the upper eyelids caused by the heaviness of a full brow.

Sagging skin and deeply hooded eyes can contribute to a perpetually fatigued or irritable appearance. A brow lift targets these concerns, restoring a brighter and more relaxed appearance.

Diminish Forehead Lines

Forehead lines (also called glabellar lines or “11 lines”) are a common sign of aging that can be effectively reduced through brow lift procedures. Various treatments, including surgical methods and non-invasive options like Botox or radiofrequency skin tightening, aim to smooth the forehead and rejuvenate facial appearance.

Long-Lasting Results

Brow lift results often last a decade or more with proper care and maintenance.  Measures such as sun protection, moderation in alcohol consumption, no smoking, adequate sleep, stress management, hydration, and a balanced diet are pivotal in preserving skin health and youthful appearance. Minimally invasive treatments can be used to touch up your surgical results over time.
