The passing of time, hereditary factors, and lifestyle habits can, in certain instances, all affect the appearance of the eye and forehead area. The skin in this area becomes flaccid, and gravity starts to take its toll on the traction of those muscles, causing slight changes to the position of the eyebrows and the upper eyelid skin. These changes can produce a difference in facial expressions, causing the patient to look tired, sad, or angry. An eyebrow lift relaxes the forehead lines and those between the brows, creating a more relaxed and youthful appearance while rejuvenating the area around the eyelids.
The most recent advances in technology has allowed for new techniques in performing brow lift surgery using an endoscopic approach. Endoscopic brow lift has many advantages, such as minimal scars discretely hidden in the hair, minimal bruising, and post-operative edema, with excellent results in the periorbital region. When this approach is combined with blepharoplasty, the rejuvenation is complete. Young patients can also benefit from this procedure, allowing us to improve the shape of the eyes, creating an almond shape or “Foxy Eye”
