Eyebrow Lift
The Eye
Brows, in women, are a very
feminizing facial feature and
are one of the first facial
features to shows the effects of
aging and gravity. The eyebrows
begin to sag, with the outer
portion affected to a greater
degree. This changes the shape
of the eyes from almond to round
and imparts an aged, relative
masculine quality to the eyes.
Brow lifts/Forehead Lifts raise
lowered eyebrows, making them
more symmetric or aesthetic in
their placement on the forehead.
This restores a more rested,
natural and youthful appearance
to the eyes and face.
Brow Lifts
and Forehead Lifts are
procedures that are designed to
rejuvenate the eyebrows and
forehead by elevating the
eyebrows to a more
aesthetically pleasing
position. Brow lifts may also
be used to soften the lines and
wrinkles on the forehead.
Forehead Lifts are currently
performed using several
methods.
Traditional
brow lift surgery involves an
incision along the hairline
from ear to ear, lifting the
skin, and adjusting the muscles
in the brow. More recently, the
endoscopic brow lift procedure
has become a popular
alternative. Results are
usually good, with small
incisions in the hairline. For
his patients with mild
heaviness to their brow, Dr.
Ghasri recommends trying Botox
injections prior to going under
the knife.
BOTOX Cosmetic smoothes out
wrinkles by weakening and
relaxing the muscles that cause
skin to wrinkle. More than just
smoothing out worry and frown
lines, Botox injections can
create a lifting effect by
relaxing the muscles that pull
down on the eyebrows. This not
only raises the ends of the
eyebrows into a more pleasing
arch (correcting a downward
slanting “sad eyes”
appearance), but also opens the
eyes, reducing the “hooded”
appearance so common in middle
aged eyes.
This procedure is appropriate
for mild brow drooping only. If
you are a better candidate for
surgical brow lift, Dr. Ghasri
will discuss referring you for
this during your consultation.
