If you are concerned about the appearance of lines and wrinkles and feel that a permanent solution is needed then brow lift surgery may be right for you. Brow lift surgery smoothes out frown lines and wrinkles on your forehead and between your eyes to give you a more youthful, less serious appearance. Also known as a forehead lift, this cosmetic procedure raises the brows and lifts the eyelids to open up the area around the eyes.
About the brow lift procedure
Brow lift surgery can be performed in several ways, and your consultant surgeon will discuss the best option for you. With a coronal brow lift, excess skin is removed through a cut across the top of your scalp, hidden within your hair. The muscles that cause frown lines are shortened and your eyebrows are lifted.
Alternatively keyhole surgery can be performed using special surgical instruments inserted through tiny cuts in your hairline. The muscles that cause frown lines can be reduced and there is minimal scarring.
Each method can be performed under general anaesthetic, which means you will be asleep during the procedure, or under local anaesthetic when the area will be numb but you will be awake. You'll usually be able to return home later the same day, and will need to plan some time off work to rest and recover.
A brow lift can give good long-term results, but you will need to take care of your skin, including protecting it from sunlight.
As with any cosmetic procedure, it is important that you review your expectations thoroughly before you decide to proceed.
