Eyebrow / Forehead Lift in Weston, Florida
If your eyebrows have fallen with time or your forehead has deep-seated wrinkles, you could benefit from receiving an eyebrow and forehead lift. This procedure is essentially a facelift for the upper third of the face and can correct deep forehead grooves and brow sagging that has developed due to aging and years of making facial expressions. The forehead lift rejuvenates the upper face and can eliminate a worn, tired, and old appearance to help you look youthful and refreshed.
Who Can Benefit?
Deep Forehead Wrinkles
Horizontal forehead lines can become deeply set in the forehead over time. While they may initially appear only when raising the brows or making certain facial expressions, eventually they may perpetually line your forehead and give you an aged appearance. A forehead lift tightens the skin to smooth out wrinkles and give you a smoother and more youthful forehead.
Frown Lines
Frown lines, caused by years of contracting the facial muscles, may cause you to look grouchy, angry, stressed, sad, or tired, even when you are feeling cheerful and energetic. A brow lift reduces brow furrows and softens the look of the brows so that you appear more youthful, relaxed, rested, and happy.
Sagging Brows
Increased skin laxity due to aging can lead the eyebrows to sink low over the eyes. Eventually, the brows may appear to sit right on top of the eyes and can create a permanently angry or grumpy expression. Sagging brows can even cause eyelid hooding that may impede your vision. Correction of sagging brows with an eyebrow and forehead lift can soften your appearance, help you look more youthful, and restore normal sightlines.
Premature Signs of Aging
Lines and wrinkles in the forehead and brows can form even at a young age. These lines may make you look prematurely older than you are or feel. With a forehead and brow lift, you can reclaim a smooth upper face that reflects a more dynamic, invigorated, and youthful image.
Eyebrow and Forehead Lift Techniques
Traditional Forehead Lift
A standard, or traditional, forehead lift rejuvenates the upper third of the face. This surgical approach is best for individuals with severe forehead wrinkles and brow sagging. Dr. Messa makes an incision in the hairline of the forehead and lifts and tightens the tissues of the upper face to correct brow sagging, wrinkles, and fine lines. He may also remove excess skin and fat to smooth out the forehead. Finally, he places small sutures to close the incisions.
Endoscopic Forehead Surgery
An endoscopic forehead lift provides more subtle rejuvenation of the upper third of the face and is best for individuals whose eyebrow or forehead issues are not too severe. Dr. Messa makes three or four small incisions in the scalp and endoscopically raises the brows and improves the deep grooves of the forehead. This approach cannot remove excess skin, but it has a faster recovery time than a traditional forehead lift.
