A brow lift is considered a type of face lift surgery. It offers individuals a more youthful appearance without undergoing a complete cosmetic surgery facelift procedure. A forehead or brow lift enhances a youthful appearance and is a full facelift alternative to individuals requiring the most enhanced effect from a full facelift procedure, but without the cost.
Several different options are available for individuals considering a brow or forehead lift. One of the most important things to consider is where the incision will be located. There are several choices, including:
- Coronal incision -involves an incision that is located behind and within the natural hairline
- Pre-Trichial incision (Subcutaneous approach) -made at the hairline
- Endoscopic surgery -utilizes a technique of 1/2 inch to 1 inch incisions located within or behind the hairline
During a coronal forehead lift, an incision is made along the top of the head from one ear to the other. Alteration of muscles that create appearances of wrinkling or scowling can be adjusted by an experienced plastic surgeon through this incision. Following removal of excess muscle or skin, the surgeon closes the incision. Patients should understand that numbness along the incision site is common for up to six months following the procedure.
The endoscopic forehead lift is a newer technique that involves up to a half dozen very small incisions hidden within the hairline. An endoscope, a small, narrow tube with a camera attached to one end, is inserted into the incisions to enable the surgeon to find and weaken muscle tissue to create a more relaxed appearance with a minimum of tissue damage and scarring. The procedure is relatively new, developed in the mid-1990s, so long-term result studies have not been conducted.
The pre-trichial or subcutaneous approach is not as commonly used as a coronal incision or endoscopic surgery, though excess skin may be removed using this procedure. Though this technique does not allow the hairline to be moved higher along the scalp line, this approach does allow a surgeon to access all of the same muscular alterations, similar to a coronal approach. However, this technique also carries the risk of the most scarring, which on some individuals may be very visible.
These procedures serve to lift the eyebrows and to reduce the appearance of drooping or saggy skin that appears at the corner of the eyes during natural aging processes. Cosmetic or plastic surgery performed on the forehead or brow also serves to reduce the appearance of wrinkles as well as frown or scowl lines that often appear between the eyes as we age. Consumers should know that a brow lift or forehead lift is not designed to eradicate crow's feet, the appearance of puffy or baggy eyelids or as an overall wrinkle treatment.
