Am I a suitable candidate for a Brow Lift?
If you have inherited conditions such as a low, heavy brow or furrowed lines above the nose, you can achieve a more alert and refreshed look with a brow lift.
A brow lift is a highly individualised procedure. It may be a good option for you if:
- You are physically healthy.
- You don't smoke.
- You have a positive outlook and specific, but realistic goals in mind for the improvement of your appearance.
Any one or a combination of the following conditions may indicate you are a good candidate for a brow lift:
- Sagging or low position of the eyebrows, creating a tired or sad appearance.
- Frown lines, or furrows, between the eyebrows and sometimes across the top of the nose.
- Deep horizontal creases across the forehead.
Am I of a suitable age for a brow lift?
A brow lift is most commonly performed in the 40-60 age range to minimise the visible effects of ageing.
Can both men and women have a brow lift?
Yes.
Can younger people have a brow lift?
A brow lift is also appropriate for treatment of certain inherited traits. Younger adults who have a low brow or who already have deep frown lines due to stress or over activity of muscles may benefit from the procedure.
Can I combine other procedures with a brow lift?
A brow lift may often be performed at the same time as a facelift which removes excess skin and tightens muscles in the mid and lower face. If there is significant skin overhang in the upper eyelids, or puffy bags beneath your eyes, eyelid surgery may be recommended in addition to a forehead lift. Your surgeon will be able to advise you on this.
What is my first step?
Your initial consultation with one of our vastly experienced brow lift surgeons should clearly set out your expectations and whether the operation can give you the results you desire.
Your reasons for wanting a brow lift and your suitability for this type of procedure will be carefully discussed. Also, your medical history will be taken to ensure that there are no reasons why you shouldn't have this operation.
What can I do to help achieve the best results?
Your surgeon will give you specific instructions on how to prepare for brow lift surgery, including guidelines on:
- Eating and drinking.
- Smoking.
- Taking or avoiding vitamins, iron tablets and certain medications.
If you are physically fit when you have this operation, you will recover much more quickly.
