If you're considering a forehead lift in San Francisco ...
A Brow Lift to Brighten Your Face
Your expression changes over time, even though your
temperament and outlook on life may not. This is because
furrows can develop in your forehead,
giving an impression of anxiety or apprehension, even
when you’re relaxed
and confident. Your brow may droop,
making you appear sad or tired, even when you feel happy
and vibrant. Many of these expressions become permanent
through age, overactive muscles in the forehead and brow
region, and simple
heredity. A brow
lift, also called a forehead
lift,
corrects a sagging brow. It smoothes furrows that develop
across the forehead. The result is an appearance that
is more relaxed, confident, and youthful. This section
will familiarize you with the brow lift procedure before
you contact a San Francisco Bay
Area cosmetic surgeon.
Here you will discover:
- what you can realistically expect from a brow lift surgery
- whether you’re a candidate for a brow lift
- the best options and alternatives available to you
- how the procedure is done
Once you’ve reviewed the benefits and surgery
entailed in a brow lift, you’ll
want to set up a consultation visit with Dr. Mosser at
one of his San Francisco
plastic surgery locations to
discuss your specific goals. In this relaxed environment,
he will be able to explain to you:
- whether or not a brow lift makes sense for you
- the alternatives for meeting your specific goals
- the step-by-step procedure that you will undergo
- the outcome you can reasonably expect along with risks and possible complications
A brow lift can improve the facial appearance between
the upper eyelids to the scalp, extending laterally to
the temples. It reduces lines and
creases in the forehead and minimizes a sagging brow. The surgery entails multiple
limited incisions hidden in the hairline—or through
a single incision in the natural crease of your upper
eyelids. Where there is excessive skin on the forehead,
a technique using a long incision across the top of the
scalp is often used.
Forehead lift incisions are typically
closed with removable sutures, skin adhesives, surgical
tape, or special clips. In some cases, permanent sutures,
small surgical screws, or an absorbable fixation device
will be placed at the temples in order to maintain the
new position of the brow.
A brow lift is often performed in conjunction with other
procedures such as eyelid
surgery or a face
lift. Dr. Mosser's San
Francisco cosmetic surgery clinic offers a variety of
rejuvenation techniques. In addition, the results of
a brow lift can be enhanced with laser
resurfacing or
a chemical peel, which improve the tone and surface smoothness.
Here are some of the benefits you can expect from a brow
lift:
- reduce furrows and other lines of aging in the forehead and
brow areas, yielding a softer, more relaxed and less
severe, appearance
- raise eyebrows to a
more youthful and engaged position
- subdue frown lines,
the lateral creases between the eyebrows
- Reduce the creases across the forehead as well as those that occur
high on the bridge of the nose.
