A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is a sophisticated cosmetic surgery designed to rejuvenate the upper face by addressing common signs of aging around the eyebrows and forehead. As skin elasticity naturally diminishes with age, horizontal lines, wrinkles, and sagging can develop in this prominent area, often leading to a tired or older appearance.
This procedure works by lifting and tightening the skin of the forehead and brow. Generally, it involves making an incision along or near the hairline, which allows for the skin to be lifted and pulled taut. Any excess skin is then surgically removed, and the incision is strategically placed to be naturally hidden by the hairline.
There are different techniques, such as the classic brow lift or an endoscopic brow lift, which can be tailored by a board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Ryan S. Hoffman to target specific concerns, whether it’s sagging around the brow area or broader forehead lines. In some cases, a brow lift may be combined with an eyelid lift or skin resurfacing for a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
