Reasons for Eyebrow Lift Surgery
Facial Symmetry
According to a study, The Evolutionary Advantage theory, “symmetrical faces are perceived as more attractive. Everyone’s genes are designed to develop a face perfectly symmetrical, but as we grow, develop, and then age” imperfection is caused in our appearance. A brow lift is effective for treating unevenness in your eyebrows, creating a more youthful, attractive look. This treatment can make a vast difference, on not only your appearance, but to your facial expressions as well.
Lift Sagging Skin
While most aim to maintain a natural youthful look, aging is inevitable, and the result is sagging skin. Sunken, drooping eyebrows can create a tired, unrested appearance. This sag is caused by the disintegration of collagen deposits that were previously under your eyebrows. This loss of collagen over the years causes the eyebrow to slowly separate from the brow bone, resulting in extra sagging skin and wrinkles below the brow – you can thank gravity for the rest. This sag can often cause the brow to droop over the eye and can even physically impair your vision! Patients who are experiencing severe sagging and vision impairment can enjoy a lifetime of better vision, with immediate and often permanent results.
Smooth Fine Lines and Wrinkles
As previously stated, the loss of collagen due to aging can inevitably lead to the creation of fine lines and wrinkles around your eyebrows and eyes. These areas include above the eye and under the eyebrow, the crow’s feet, and sagging skin around your eyes. These fine lines and wrinkles are the cause of a less youthful appearance. Brow lift surgery is an effective procedure, not only for restoring your youthful glow in a natural appearing way, but for boosting your confidence in your own skin!
What does eyebrow lift surgery entail?
Brow lift surgery, although performed to raise drooping, sunken eyebrows, is also known as a forehead lift due to the way the surgery is performed. Generally, during an eyebrow procedure, the skin on the forehead is raised to achieve smoother skin, correct sagging eyebrows, and improving fine lines and wrinkles. The eyebrows are surgically raised, creating an aesthetically pleasing arch, and creating a more youthful appearance. Furthermore, brow lift surgery can be paired with a blepharoplasty, which is the surgery of the upper eyelid surgery, as well as face lifts. While this is a general description of the procedure, there are different types of eyebrow lifts:
Types of Brow Lifts
1. Classic (coronal) brow lift
The coronal lift was previously the traditional type of eyebrow lift procedure that was often opted for, however it has since been superseded by less-invasive techniques that have now become available. However, this procedure may be used in certain cases to achieve your aesthetic goals. The classic (coronal) brow lift involves one single, long incision behind the hairline, extending from ear to ear. The excess skin, fat, and tissue are removed. The remaining skin and brow muscles are then repositioned to obtain a more youthful appearance!
2. Temporal or limited-incision brow lift
This procedure is often paired together with blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery. The temporal brow lift involves several incisions above each temple, as well as behind the hairline. The outer eyebrow is then lifted and repositioned through the incisions. The area between the eyes and eyebrows are lifted through the incisions to perfect and raise the upper eyelids while permanently eliminate frown lines.
3. Endoscopic brow lift
At Synergy Plastic Surgery, this is the standard choice for restoring a rested, youthful, and more confident you! Our board-certified plastic surgeons opt for endoscopic brow lift technique due to their undeniable results and less invasive nature. During this procedure, our surgeons make several tiny incisions behind the hairline in order to minimize the appearance of visible scars. The muscles and tissue are then repositioned, and excess tissue is removed to treat sagging or drooping skin.
