Brow Lift Treatment
A brow lift, also known as an eyebrow lift or forehead lift is a cosmetic aesthetics procedure to raise the brows. A brow lift changes the appearance of the brow, forehead and the area around the eyes by raising the soft tissue and skin of the forehead and brow.
A brow lift can be performed with other treatments such as a forehead wrinkle & line treatment.
Brow descent (brow ptosis) occurs when the eyebrows sit lower than their ideal anatomical position. It is commonly associated with ageing and results from a combination of reduced skin elasticity, weakening of the forehead and peri-orbital supporting tissues, changes in facial fat and bone structure, and the effects of gravity over time. The lateral (outer) brow is often affected first because it has less structural support than the medial brow.
The position of the eyebrows is also influenced by the balance between the muscles that elevate and depress the brow. The frontalis muscle is the primary elevator of the eyebrows, while muscles including the corrugator supercilii, procerus and orbicularis oculi contribute to brow depression.
Patients with pre-existing brow or upper-eyelid heaviness may compensate by continuously activating the frontalis to elevate the brows. Excessive or poorly positioned treatment of the frontalis can reduce this compensatory elevation and produce a sensation or appearance of brow heaviness or brow ptosis. Treatment planning therefore needs to consider the patient's individual anatomy, muscle activity, brow shape and degree of pre-existing tissue descent.
Sagging can occur as we age, leading to drop of the eyebrow/eyelid complex, giving a tired, concerning appearance. By sagging the eyelids, it can also make the upper-lid skin appear hooded, giving the impression of excess skin. The contour of the brow also changes with loss of its natural arc.
Lifting of the brow and forehead not only raises the brow and moderately changes the eye area.
Having brow lift surgery is the only way to treat moderate-to-severe ageing in the forehead and brow areas in a natural and lasting manner. Whilst surgery is fairly intense and substantial process you maybe not be either ready or wanting to go down this path. A more mild-to-moderate brow lift, may be able to achieve excellent results with a non-surgical brow lift. By performing a series injection procedures a non-surgical brow lift in the office setting, and with minimal downtime.
