If there is one fundamental limitation to conventional facelifts, it would be that they only alter the appearance of the lower portion and mid portions of the face. Once the folds are diminished from the side of the nose to the corners of the mouth and the neck and jawline contours are restored, there can be an obvious contrast with how the upper face appears compared to the rejuvenated lower and mid face. For that reason, many of Dr. Kole’s facial cosmetic surgery patients elect to have a forehead lift or eyelid surgery in Bucks County, PA.
A brow lift—sometimes called a forehead lift—is a surgical procedure that restores a more youthful, refreshed look to the area of the forehead and the eyebrows. This procedure corrects drooping or poorly positioned brows and improves and minimizes the horizontal lines and furrows that can make a person appear sad, angry, or tired. In the forehead lift, the muscles and soft tissues that cause the drooping or furrows are weakened, removed, or altered to smooth the forehead and raise the eyebrows to a more pleasing position and minimize transverse frown lines.
Dr. Kole uses both the conventional and the endoscopic methods. The conventional surgical method uses an incision hidden just behind the hairline. The endoscopic brow lift method uses an endoscope, a surgical camera viewing system that allows the procedure to be performed with minimal incisions, all located within the hair of the scalp. Both techniques yield similar results which include minimizing forehead wrinkles and better overall brow position.
A forehead lift or brow lift is commonly performed in patients who range from 40 to 75 years old, to minimize the visible effects of aging and wrinkling. However, it can also help younger people or older people who have developed furrows or frown lines due to excessive stress or muscle activity. Individuals who have inherited low, heavy brows, furrow lines, or lines across the base of the nose can also achieve a more relaxed, refreshed, and alert look with this procedure.
For a better understanding of how a forehead or brow lift may change your appearance, look horizontally into a mirror. Place the palm of your hands in the outer edges of your eyes above your eyebrows and gently draw up the forehead skin to raise your brow and forehead without giving you a surprised look. This is approximately what a forehead lift would be able to accomplish surgically.
Forehead lifts or brow lifts are often performed in conjunction with facelift surgery to provide the upper one-third of facial rejuvenation that a facelift typically does not provide. This results in a rejuvenated appearance to the entire face.
