Definition: A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is a surgical procedure that elevates the position of the eyebrows. This can rejuvenate the upper face, reduce the appearance of frown lines and forehead wrinkles, and create a more youthful appearance.
Pros: Can significantly improve the appearance of the upper face, long-lasting results.
Cons: Surgical procedure with associated risks like bleeding, infection, scarring, and anesthesia complications. Recovery time can be several weeks.
Alternatives: Botox injections can temporarily improve brow position and reduce forehead wrinkles for some people.
Recovery Time: Swelling and bruising are common after a brow lift. Most people can return to work within a week or two, but complete healing may take several months.
Disclaimer: A brow lift is a major cosmetic surgery. Consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon is essential to discuss options, risks, and expected outcomes.
