Brow and Forehead Lift New York City

WHY BROW LIFT?

At our practice in NYC, brow lift has become increasingly more popular. Brow ptosis or droopy brow starts at an early age. If you pay attention and follow the aging pattern of a person, you can often notice his/her brow descend over time relative to the underlying bone. The effect of that results in a “heavy” upper eyelid. In severe cases, a droopy brow not only causes cosmetic concerns, but it can also partially block your vision, especially in the upper visual field.

Since eyes are in the center of the face, droopy eyebrow affects all nearby structures and causes an overall aged look. The descend of the brow makes the upper lid looks heavy and gives a sleepy appearance, and because of the heaviness felt in the upper lid, droopy eyebrow individuals often have to forcefully elevate the brow using their forehead muscle, which further deepens wrinkles on the forehead.

Dr. William Lao is a top plastic surgeon specializing in brow and forehead lift in NYC.

As you can see in case examples, elevating the eyebrow position along with an upper lid procedure can easily make someone look 20 years younger!

HOW IS IT DONE?

Just as in upper eyelid procedures, there are many ways of doing a brow lift. All techniques achieve the common goal of lifting the brow but there are variations in terms of the location of the incision, the relative elevation of the lateral brow vs. the medial brow, and whether a combination procedure with the upper eyelid should be performed to enhance the overall look.

Each brow procedure has its pros and cons. The direct incision method is one of the most powerful lifting procedures but it comes with a visible scar on top of the eyebrow. The traditional coronal brow lift procedure is the gold standard procedure but it also carries with it the risk of incision line hair loss and loss of scalp sensation. Endoscopic brow lift procedure uses minimal incisions and can provide adequate lifting of the brow but is considered not as powerful as the direct and coronal brow lifts. The list of procedures goes on and on...

The best brow lift technique is one that is customized for you based on your forehead height, brow position, and the tendency of scarring after a thorough discussion with a plastic surgeon.
