Gravity, the natural loss of structural proteins in the skin, and decades of repeatedly making the same facial expressions can take a toll on your facial appearance. You may have noticed that the upper portion of your face — around your eyebrows — has started to show signs of aging. If you would like to turn back the clock and feel years younger, it may be worth your time to talk to a plastic surgeon about undergoing a brow lift. What benefits might you experience from this procedure? Here are a few:

Reduce the Appearance of Fine Lines and Wrinkles

A brow lift tightens the skin in the forehead, so after your surgery, you can expect crow’s feet, frown lines, and forehead lines to be significantly less noticeable. The results you can experience are likely to be more dramatic than what you could achieve with injectables or other more conservative options.

Lift Sagging Skin

The skin around the eyes is delicate; it tends to sag more quickly than the skin in other areas. A brow lift can reduce the crepey, sagging appearance of skin and allow you to look years younger.

Restore Your Natural Eyebrow Shape

Over time, the eyebrows may seem to “sink” and lose their natural arch. A brow lift can help restore their appearance, helping you to look wide awake and ready to take on the world.

Increase Facial Symmetry

A bit of asymmetry on the face can be cute and give character to your features. However, an overtly obvious lack of symmetry may detract from your beauty. If your brows do not quite look like they are on the same page, a brow lift surgery may be able to help them beautifully complement one another.

Increase Your Confidence

Your face is one of the first things other people notice about you. If you are not confident about the way your features look, that can come across in your interactions with others. Surgical procedures, such as a brow lift, might be just what you need to get the most out of social situations.

Less Invasive than a Full Face Lift

Compared to a full face lift, brow lift surgery is much more conservative. It is an outpatient procedure that usually takes around an hour. Bruising and swelling may last for only a week or so, and within the first couple of weeks, you should be able to start enjoying the full benefits of your treatment!
