The natural aging process, time, and gravity eventually cause our forehead skin to sag, which can make some people appear tired, serious, or even angry. Individuals who are bothered by lax forehead skin and are seeking a more youthful appearance can often benefit from a brow lift.

What is a Brow Lift?

A brow lift, also called a forehead lift, is a cosmetic procedure performed to reposition the forehead, addressing wrinkles for a more youthful appearance. Aging can cause frown lines to appear between the brows, horizontal lines across the forehead, and drooping outer brows. Thankfully, a brow lift can address each of these issues for a refreshed look.

Various surgical brow lift techniques can be performed depending on each patient’s individual anatomy and aesthetic goals. At AOO | ENT Specialists of the Rockies, we are proud to work with a skilled team of facial plastic surgeons at FacesFirst Cosmetic Surgery, including Dr. Nicolette Picerno and Dr. Christopher Cote.

What are the Benefits of a Brow Lift?

The brow lift procedure is highly effective in improving the appearance of unwanted signs of facial aging. Read on for five impactful benefits that brow lift patients can enjoy.

Tightens the Forehead for a Smoother Appearance

One of the most popular brow lift techniques used at FacesFirst is an endoscopic brow lift, which allows for tightening of the muscles and underlying tissues through small incisions along the hairline. Tightening the muscles and underlying facial tissues lifts the brows and tightens the forehead for a smoother appearance.

Combats Forehead Wrinkles

When the forehead is lifted and tightened, forehead lines, crow’s feet, and brow furrows are smoothed. Patients can enjoy a more relaxed appearance.

Lifts Sagging Skin Above the Eyes

Lax, sagging skin on the forehead, and upper eyelids can cause the eyes to appear heavy. Addressing this lax skin can help patients appear refreshed. Lifting the eyes also offers the benefit of improved eyesight, which may be impaired with low-lying brows.

Repositions the Brow Line

During a brow lift, the eyebrows are repositioned to sit back in line with the natural brow ridge. This restores a natural arch to the brows for a rejuvenated appearance. This can be especially impactful for women, as restoring the brow arch results in a more feminine appearance.

Improves Facial Proportion

The shape of your brows can have a great impact on your overall facial appearance. For example, brows that lack an arch that sits low above the eyes may cause an individual to appear angry or sad. A brow lift lifts the brows to achieve a more proportionate, youthful appearance.
