Questions about Brow Lift Surgery

Plastic Surgery in Charleston, SC

What is a Brow Lift surgery?

A brow lift (sometimes called a forehead lift) is a procedure that reduces the aged, angry, tired, or sad appearance of the forehead by reducing the appearance of forehead creases and other aspects of an aged appearance.

What does a Brow Lift correct?

A brow lift surgery can:

• Minimize deep creases and folds that run across the forehead
• Minimize creases that appear between the eyebrows (frown lines)
• Raise a low or sagging brow
• Lift the eyebrows to a more youthful or alert position

Typically, aging in the eye and brow area affects more than one feature, and a brow lift surgery may be recommended in conjunction with eyelid surgery, BOTOX® Cosmetic or Dysport injections, injectable fillers, and laser skin resurfacing.
