As we age, we tend to shrink, sag, and wrinkle. The speed of this aging process is different for everyone and largely influenced by genetics, sun exposure, and other factors. For some patients, they may start to notice more wrinkles involving their forehead and/or low or “heavy” brows. When these changes start to bother you, it may be time to consider a brow lift. At the time of your consultation, Dr. Li will analyze your brows and eyes in detail and discuss whether Brow Lift Surgery is a good option for you.
There are various types of brow lift surgery, and the appropriate choice will vary from person to person. Incisions can be hidden in the brows, upper eyelids, along the hairline or just behind it. When scars are placed behind the hairline, small cameras (Endoscopic Brow Lift) are typically used to perform the surgery. Lastly, when the brow is predominantly low in its lateral half, a modified Lateral Brow Lift procedure can be performed to alter only this portion of the brow while leaving the medial portion of the brow untouched.
