Forehead Lift Surgery
Forehead lift surgery is also commonly referred to as a brow lift or browplasty. This type of cosmetic surgery is used to raise drooping eyebrows. A forehead lift surgery may have both functional as well as aesthetic benefits. Drooping eyebrows, especially severe ones, may actually obstruct a person's vision, making corrective forehead lift surgery a very practical and beneficial surgery. In addition, forehead lift surgery also reduces wrinkles caused by the natural aging process as well as by stress, sun exposure, smoking, or other factors. Lines running across the forehead are smoothed considerably with forehead lift surgery, reducing the appearance of the wrinkles called worry lines that cause people to look tired or angry. This surgery may give a person an all over more youthful and rested appearance.
