Overview

Many people first notice a tired appearance in the region around their eyes as they approach forty. Others may notice that they appear sad or depressed and yet others may notice that they always appear angry or unhappy.

This sad, tired or angry appearance may be the consequence of changes in the structures of the brow or forehead.

With the passage of time and under the influence of gravity, the eyebrows descend to a slightly lower position over the eyes.

Eyebrow lift has gained great popularity because of this minimal postoperative discomfort, inconspicuous scars and relatively few side effects. Browlift is now most commonly done endoscopically.

This means a number of small incisions are placed behind the hairline and the lift is done from the inside, small illuminated telescopes about the size of a long pencil are used to see.

Often during browlift surgery, the muscle in the forehead can be sculpted so that the deep furrows and wrinkles are lessened.
