While
no one is immune to the effects of aging,
a forehead lift, also known as a browlift,
can minimize some of the most visible
signs drooping eyebrows, "hooding"
over the eyes, forehead furrows and
frown lines that come with age.
In a forehead lift, the muscles and
skin that cause the problems are removed
or altered to smooth the forehead, raise
the upper eyelids and minimize frown
lines. The result can be a more alert,
more animated, more youthful appearance.
Recent advances in plastic surgery have
made the forehead lift a relatively
simple surgical procedure with results
that last from five to 10 years or longer.
It can be done alone, or in conjunction
with other procedures, such as facelift,
eyelid surgery, or nose reshaping.
The best candidates for a forehead
lift
A forehead lift can smooth the forehead,
raise the upper eyelids, and minimize
the frown lines that come with aging.
Men and women of any age may be good
candidates for a forehead lift. While
the surgical procedure is most commonly
done on people in their forties to sixties
to slow the visible effects of aging,
it can also help people with inherited
conditions, such as a droopy brow or
furrowed lines above the nose.
If you are bald or have a receding hairline,
you may still be a good candidate for
a forehead lift. Your surgeon will simply
alter the location of the incision to
camouflage it as much as possible.
If you have already had plastic surgery
on your upper eyelids, a more conservative
forehead lift may be in order, to assure
that enough skin remains to allow you
to close your eyes comfortably after
surgery.
A forehead lift can enhance your appearance
and your self-confidence, but it won't
necessarily change your looks to match
your ideal, or cause other people to
treat you differently. Before you decide
to have surgery, think carefully about
your expectations and discuss them with
your surgeon. |
