Correcting Droopy Brows

Gravity goes hand in hand with age. As age increases, the effects of gravity on the face become more pronounced. Drooping brows, sagging cheeks- the face gets hit bad from the hairline downwards.

Forehead lifts or brow lift surgeries are helpful plastic surgery options available for an individual looking to reduce any signs of ageing in the forehead area. Plastic surgeons either remove or alter the underlying muscles that cause frown lines and drooping brows.

Either of two procedures are used; the conventional brow lift or coronal forehead lift which involves an incision that is hidden behind the hairline, and an endoscopic forehead lift. The endoscopic method requires minimal incisions to be made. The results are the same for both procedures though and include raised eyebrows, diminished frown lines and a smoother forehead.

Plastic surgeons usually recommend brow lifts for patients in the 40-60 age range, for whom looking younger is the main objective. But there are patients who have conditions that are passed down the family line, like low, heavy brows and a deeply lined nose. Increased muscle activity is also known to result in furrowed brows. A brow lift is recommended for both these type of patients.

When performed in combination with rhytidectomy and blepharoplasty, brow lifts are known to yield better results for the over-all appearance of the face.
