Browlift and forehead lift are procedures performed to improve the appearance and at times the function of the upper face and brow area. Many patients complain of a tired or severe look in the brow area, sometimes their friends ask them why they look angry all the time. This is an example of patients who feel their outward appearance does not reflect the inner person. Aesthetic improvement of the brow and forehead may include repositioning of the brows themselves, reduction of lines and furrows between the brows and across the forehead, or both. Brow and forehead improvement usually is evaluated in conjunction with the eyelids as the two areas intimately affect each other.

Browlift may be performed through different approaches including coronal (traditional forehead lift) and endoscopic (smaller incisions employing a surgical telescope) techniques. During your consultation the approach best suited to your needs will be discussed as well as alternatives.

Frequently patients ask us to explain the difference between an endoscopic browlift and a traditional forehead lift. Along with the advantage of smaller incisions hidden within the hairline, browlifts performed endoscopically have a lower incidence of sensation changes in the scalp and require less wound care.

A board certified facial plastic surgeon will perform a thorough facial examination and discuss with you during the consultation what combination of procedures can help to produce the look you want. For example, depending on the position of the brow, a patient may need only a browlift, only upper eyelid lift (blepharoplasty) or a combination of both procedures. Comprehensive evaluation of the face provides you the opportunity to decide which of the available surgical options best fit your needs. Some patients may not require facial plastic surgery and are candidates for conservative measures, such as Botox for fine lines and wrinkles or Juvederm for crows feet. Your consultation at Milton Hall Plastic Surgery is designed to educate Atlanta browlift patients about when the time is right for their procedure.

Often Atlanta browlift patients ask about improving superficial skin wrinkles. Browlift can improve wrinkles and lines in the forehead, but will not correct all the superficial lines that come from premature aging, overexposure to weather and dynamic muscle motion. Browlift patients may need to consider skin resurfacing procedures to address textural wrinkles and imperfections.
