Have you noticed unsightly sagging or puffy skin on your forehead, making you look aged, tired, and angry? A brow lift (also known as a “forehead lift”) might be exactly what you need for a younger, more fresh-faced appearance! Richmond Plastic Surgeons offers brow lifts (forehead lifts) for men and women in Richmond, Midlothian and surrounding areas of Virginia.
What is a Brow Lift?
A forehead or brow lift corrects aging where they most often develop first, just above your eyes. The procedure tightens the skin, softening lines and wrinkles in the process. A brow lift can also allow your eyes to look more open and alert, with the overall effect taking years off your appearance.
What Are the Benefits of a Forehead Lift?
A forehead lift eliminates a lot of the most common signs of aging in the forehead and brow area:
- Lines and wrinkles
- Sagging skin
- Fat that has shifted out of place
- A roll of tissue that can develop just above the eyebrows
The results of your Richmond brow lift can be enhanced with Botox® to smooth the skin.
Am I the Ideal Candidate for a Brow Lift?
You might be a great candidate for a brow lift if you’re:
- Between 40 and 60 years old
- A younger patient with lines caused by muscle contractions or stress
- Have a genetic predisposition to developing a furrowed or heavy brow
Forehead lifts can be performed in conjunction with a facelift or eyelid surgery, and you might still be a good candidate for a forehead lift, even if you’re bald or have a receding hairline.
What Should I Do Before My Forehead Lift?
To give yourself an idea as to how the surgery might change your appearance, you can stand in front of a mirror and place the palms of your hands at the outer corners of your eyes. Gently move your hands upward to pull the skin over your forehead and brow area.
This might not show you your exact results, but it’ll give you a good general idea. Our plastic surgeons can make use of more advanced techniques to show you how the surgery will make you look younger.
