A sagging forehead, however, is not exclusively a problem of advanced age; lines in the forehead can appear early, making a younger face look older than it is. A worn forehead or glabella can also create a perpetual frown, which can contradict a calm or happy disposition. If you have issues with resting lines or tired-looking eyes, you may want to consider a brow lift in NYC with Dr. Westreich. A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, can address:
- A sagging brow
- Frown lines
- Forehead creases
- Aged facial appearance
Although a brow lift can be performed as a stand-alone procedure, it is usually done in conjunction with blepharoplasty: a cosmetic surgery that removes excess eyelid skin and brightens drooping eyes.
Aging, gravity, and exposure to the elements take their toll on the facial features, and the eyebrows and forehead are no exception to this rule. These areas often lose their suppleness and elasticity, resulting in drooping, heaviness to the upper eyelid, wrinkling, folds, furrows, and fine lines. Although the patient may still be vital and youthful, sagging eyebrows and a creased forehead can give the appearance of exhaustion, irritability, and even anger. In certain cases, vision may even be impaired by low-hanging eyebrows.
Luckily there is a safe and effective procedure called a brow lift that can elevate, tighten, tone, and reshape the eyebrows and forehead for a more relaxed, pleasant appearance. In Dr. Westreich’s skilled and seasoned hands, the brow lift is an excellent complement to eyelid surgery or a facelift in NYC, providing a more comprehensive improvement to the upper facial region or the entire face.
