Am I a Good Candidate
for a Brow Lift?
In both traditional and endoscopic brow lifts, the muscles in your forehead will be altered by tightening and/or releasing the appropriate muscles depending on your unique needs. This will smooth the wrinkles and lines in your forehead and raise heavy or drooping eyebrows. A traditional brow lift can remove a significant amount of excess skin when needed.
A good candidate for this procedure is also able to withstand general anesthesia used during surgery, be a non-smoker, and have realistic expectations about what a facelift procedure can accomplish.
If you are considering a brow lift in the Scottsdale or Phoenix, Arizona area, please contact us today, and we will be happy to schedule your initial consultation.
Benefits of a Brow Lift
Sun exposure, stress, repetitive facial expressions, and even genetics can lead to a deeply lined and furrowed forehead and/or heavy, sagging eyebrows. This can add years to an otherwise youthful appearance. A brow lift can help reduce deep furrows in the forehead, remove frown lines, lift heavy or drooping eyebrows, and open up the eye area.
Types of Brow Lifts
A sagging or drooping brow and worry lines can make you look tired, unhappy, and older than you really are. A brow lift, or forehead lift, targets these problems, lifting a heavy brow and smoothing lines.
This procedure can give you a refreshed, more youthful appearance and is often combined with other facial rejuvenation procedures. Each face is unique and may require one of the following types of Brow Lifts:
Traditional Brow Lift
A traditional brow lift, or coronal browlift, involves a hidden but longer scar in the hairline. It is more extensive than endoscopic surgery and can produce more dramatic results in patients with a significant amount of excess tissue.
Endoscopic Brow Lift
An Endoscopic brow lift is appropriate for most patients and is much less invasive. Tiny incisions are made, so there is virtually no scarring. A miniature camera is used to see the surgical area and make very precise adjustments to the muscle and tissue.
Temporal Brow Lift
A temporal brow lift, also known as a lateral brow lift, addresses the outer drooping of the forehead and upper eyelids. While a traditional open brow lift will elevate the forehead completely, a temporal brow lift will really just focus on the lateral parts of the forehead.
Dr. Gawley and the entire staff are great. I had a very informative appointment and every person I spoke to was so nice, I felt very comfortable and well taken care of. I can’t wait to get my procedure done and am confident with my decision to go to Dr. Gawley!
