Browlift

 

Browlift, or forehead lift, corrects drooping (ptosis) of your eyebrows and minimizes the “worry” lines across your forehead – lines that make you look tired, sad, or angry – to give you a more relaxed, youthful, and refreshed appearance.

 

Dr. Stieg is often able to achieve sufficient lift of the brow during upper blepharoplasty surgery (upper eyelid lift) using the same incisions.  The internal structures of the forehead can be tightened or lifted this way, without requiring incisions in the scalp usually required for browlift.

 

In our office, browlift is usually performed in conjunction with blepharoplasty (eyelid lift).  For more information about blepharoplasty, please click here. Illustration - After Browlift

 

If you would like to schedule a consultation to discuss browlift with Dr. Stieg or Dr. Paresi, please call our office at 407-647-4601.

 

As is the case with blepharoplasty, visual changes can occur with forehead surgery and any patient with glaucoma, cataracts, retinal problems, previous eye or forehead surgeries, or tearing problems (overly dry or moist eyes) should consult an ophthalmologist (eye doctor) before undergoing browlift.

 

BOTOX injections or aggressive skin care may be acceptable alternative treatments for patients who are not good candidates for browlift or who are concerned about minor lines or wrinkles in the forehead.  For more information about BOTOX, please click here.  For more information about skin care, please click here.
