Brow Lift
Drooping eyebrows and deep lines across the forehead or between the brows can dramatically alter your facial appearance. You may get comments about looking tired or angry and older than others your exact age. Brow lift, or forehead lift, reduces these signs of aging and restores a youthful brow placement and arch. Dr. Georgina Nichols offers brow lift in Sacramento and will tailor the procedure to your needs with her customized approach for excellent results.
Your Brow Lift with Dr. Nichols
Brow lift focuses on the upper face and eyebrows. Sun exposure, genetics, natural aging, and other factors may cause this region to lose skin elasticity before other facial areas. Those skin changes lead to sagging brows that may hang over the upper eyelids. Squinting, scowling, raising eyebrows, and other repetitive movements can form horizontal forehead lines and vertical “11s” between the brows. Brow lift with Dr. Nichols addresses these concerns and can be combined with other facial plastic surgeries, including blepharoplasty or facelift and non-surgical treatments.
Is Brow Lift with Dr. Nichols Right for You?
Brow lift candidates must be physically healthy and avoid tobacco products. Smoking can slow down and inhibit the healing process, and some medical conditions may also impact the procedure’s safety and recovery. During your consultation, Dr. Nichols can determine if brow lift is right for your needs. She will evaluate your facial concerns and recommend one or more procedures to help you reach your desired results.
People interested in brow lift typically have moderate to severe creases or folds across their foreheads and around the brow area, making them look serious, tired, or angry. Loose skin tissue may cause the eyebrows to hang over the eyelid area. Most brow lift patients are between 40 and 65.
Dr. Nichols may recommend blepharoplasty instead of brow lift for some patients if the drooping tissues are related to the upper eyelids instead of sagging eyebrows.
Brow Lift Options with Dr. Nichols
There are a few surgical techniques for brow lift. Dr. Nichols will discuss your options and recommend the approach she feels will provide the best results. The endoscopic brow lift uses a thin tube connected to a camera (endoscope) and tiny surgical tools to perform the procedure through small incisions. These incisions are concealed in the hairline. Dr. Nichols adjusts the underlying tissues and tightens the muscles to correct forehead furrows and worry lines and elevate the brow position.
The coronal brow lift is more invasive but provides more correction for sagging brows. An incision is made across the top of the head inside the hairline from ear to ear, and Dr. Nichols lifts the forehead skin and adjusts the muscles for dynamic results. The incision line is concealed by hair, though women with a high forehead may need to hide the incision line with bangs.
You will likely notice some results immediately with a more youthful brow position and continued improvement as the tissues heal and swelling and bruising disappear.
