Aging typically causes the brows to move down. As skin and soft tissues lose elasticity, the distance between the eyebrows and eyelashes also shortens. The lower position of the eyebrows can make you look tired, angry or sad. A brow lift can raise the eyebrows and restore a refreshed, more pleasing appearance. You might consider a brow lift if you have a low or sagging brow that’s contributing to sagging upper eyelids.
Sadly, some of us are genetically inclined to heavier eyebrows with a short distance between the eyebrows and eyelashes. In most cases sagging brows are a consequence of ageing. The skin around our eyes, forehead and temples begin to loose elasticity in our late thirties. The constant effect of gravity results in drooping of the eyebrows.
Also known as forehead rejuvenation, a brow lift will not only open up the area around the eyes through raising your eyebrows – it will also soften your facial lines, creating a rejuvenated and welcoming appearance. The goal of brow lift surgery is to rejuvenate the face above the eyes and restore a refreshed appearance. This is accomplished by raising sagging eyebrows that create hooding of the upper eyelids.
Brow lift surgery is a safe procedure that will restore a more youthful contour of the upper one-third of your face. You will be able to enjoy a more refreshed appearance that better reflects your natural vibrance. Your eyes will appear brighter and more alert, resulting in others finding you more approachable. Self-confidence may improve as others no longer mistakenly perceive you as worried, angry or concerned. There is also no visible scaring as the procedure is done endoscopically through small incisions on the scalp that are hidden in the hair
Naturally eyebrows are rarely symmetrical. During your consultation Dr. Shahram will review your medical history and asses your area of concern.
