Candidate For Forehead Lift
If your brow is too low and close to your eyes, you may be a good candidate for a brow lift. This may be the case if you find your upper face always has a tired or unhappy appearance. If your brow is very low, it can make your eyelids feel heavy and can even get in the way of your vision. Deep wrinkles across your forehead can be a sign that you have to work to lift your eyebrows up and that you may benefit from a brow lift procedure.
You may also benefit from a forehead lift procedure if you do not like the shape of your eyebrows. If your eyebrows slant down at the outside, giving you a more worried appearance, a brow lift can fix this and lift the outside edge of your eyebrow instead. There are many different reasons to pursue a brow lift, and Dr. Mason can elaborate for prospective patients in Las Vegas.
Types Of Brow Lift Surgery
The brow lift techniques aim to diminish visible signs of aging, typically sought by individuals aged 40 to 60. Various techniques are employed, with common methods including:
Coronal Brow Lift
After administering anesthesia, the surgeon creates an incision from ear to ear, typically starting at about ear level and crossing the top of the forehead. Alternatively, the incision may be placed at the hairline. Delicately lifting the forehead skin, the surgeon eliminates excess tissue and fat, and may realign muscles if needed. Adjustments to the eyebrow position may be made, and excess skin is trimmed during the procedure.
Endoscopic Brow Lift
Endoscopic forehead lift utilizes small, discreet incisions concealed within the hair. Fiberoptic equipment delicately releases and elevates brow tissue. Bruising is typically minimal, and healing time is generally faster compared to traditional approaches for most patients.
Temporal Brow Lift
Dr. Mason can perform this minimally invasive procedure in the office under local anesthesia. It’s a streamlined version of the endoscopic brow lift, offering excellent results with minimal downtime.
