During the natural aging process, it’s normal for your appearance to begin to gradually change. Generally, the first area where you’ll notice this change is your face. Over time, brows will begin to reposition further down the face as the skin and soft tissue lose their elasticity and ability to snap back into place after being stretched.

A brow lift can combat this cosmetic problem and turn back the clock for patients. This safe eye modification procedure delivers effective results and can give patients the ideal eyebrow position to suit their faces.

Before undergoing such a procedure, patients may be wondering if they would benefit from a brow lift and whether they’re an ideal brow lift candidate. At Facial Plastic Surgery of Central Texas, Dr. Charles Guy and the highly trained medical team specialize in brow lifts and are proud of our reputation for delivering highly effective cosmetic services from the collarbone up. Here, we discuss the factors that make a brow lift the ideal solution.

Who Can Benefit From a Brow Lift?

Commonly referred to as a forehead lift, the brow lift is a highly beneficial facial surgery. In most cases, individuals considering a brow lift wish to achieve a smoother, lighter, and more youthful appearance on the upper face. Ideal candidates for brow lift surgery are healthy, don’t smoke, and have moderate to severe signs of upper facial aging. The following are some cosmetic concerns that may warrant brow lift surgery:

  • Crow’s feet
  • Deep forehead wrinkles
  • Sagging or drooping eyebrows
  • Wrinkles between the eyes
  • Heavy brow
  • Hooded eyes
  • Downturned eyebrows
  • Furrowed brow

While a brow lift is an effective procedure that can produce desired results, patients should keep in mind that plastic surgery can’t completely halt the aging process. Even so, most men and women will appreciate the results of brow lift surgery well after recovery.

Brow Lift Treatment at Facial Plastic Surgery of Central Texas

Patients who wish to undergo a brow lift at Facial Plastic Surgery of Central Texas will first meet with Dr. Guy. During this initial consultation, Dr. Guy will perform a physical examination of your appearance and discuss with you what you wish to achieve. Following this consultation, Dr. Guy and his team will determine if brow lift surgery is the ideal option for meeting your needs. If an alternative treatment sounds better for your specific needs, Dr. Guy will discuss options with you.

If the team decides a brow lift is viable, they will schedule an appointment and explain to you how the procedure works. Brow lifts can be performed in either the state-of-the-art operating room or the office after making the area numb by injecting local anesthesia. Before leaving the facility, you will be given explicit instructions on how to properly care for the treated area.
