Brow Lift

When the eyebrows are in a lower than normal position, raising them can result in a more youthful appearance and eliminate extra skin of the upper eyelids. This is most commonly done with an incision in the scalp, or through several small incisions using an endoscope (lighted telescope).

Before	After

This 59 year old female was concerned about the excess skin of her upper eyelids, and was having trouble with her vision when looking up and to the sides. Her problem was actually that because of loosening of her skin with age, her eyebrows were now lower. As a result, this gave the appearance of extra skin on the upper eyelids. She underwent an open browlift, with the incision right at the hairline, to avoid making her long forehead any longer. Repositionning the eyebrows eliminated the "extra" skin on the upper eyelids. The remaining fold of skin is necessary so there will be enough skin remaining to close her eyes. The before picture has droopy eyelids. The after picture does not.
