Brow Lift

Often, a sagging brow or cheek is a dramatic and very visible sign of aging. It may not reflect how you want the world to see you. Dr. Peters can help you decide if a brow lift, with or without other facial aesthetic surgery, is right for you.

As we age, the eyebrow gradually descends below the bony rim at the top of the orbit (the eye socket). A brow lift improves a number of signs of aging in the upper third of the face by repositioning sagging tissues and removing or diminishing frown lines or deep vertical wrinkles between the eyebrows, restoring the normal arch of the eyebrow to its original position. The brow lift can also help to return the cheek fat pad to its rightful position over the cheek bone. This makes the eyes appear more oval than round, a subtle sign of youth. Sometimes small portions of muscle in the forehead are removed during this surgery to diminish the results of their over activity (frown lines). A brow lift can be performed by itself or combined with a face lift.
