Brow Lift

< Back to Face Services

A brow lift, also commonly called a forehead lift, rejuvenates the face above the eyes to restore a more refreshed appearance that better reflects a patient’s natural vibrance. By removing excess sagging, skin on the forehead and repositioning the underlying muscles and tissues, a brow lift can correct a heavy, sagging brow, eliminate deep furrows, and restore a smoother, more youthful contour to the upper one-third of the face.

The problem with an aging forehead is the effect it has on our facial expressions—a sagging, heavily furrowed brow can cause us to look constantly tired, worried or even angry. Some of us are also genetically inclined to have a heavier, thicker brow, making us look as though we are wearing a frown even when we are feeling our best. A brow lift directly addresses these issues, helping patients enjoy a more naturally refreshed appearance as well as other positive changes. You may wish to consider a brow lift if: • Sagging or low eyebrow position creates a tired, sad or grumpy appearance • You have deep horizontal creases across the forehead • You have frown lines or furrows between the eyebrows or across the top of your nose • You have excess skin or fatty tissue hanging over your eyes

Cosmetic surgeons use different techniques for brow lift surgery; which is best for any given patient depends on a patient’s goals, unique anatomy, and the extent of corrections needed to achieve the desired results. Dr. Maningas will listen to your concerns and talk with you during your one-on-one consultation in Joplin, MO about which technique will be the right one for you.
