Brow Lift Surgery

As the ageing process advances, the forehead and brow area can be ageing as lines become deeper. Men seem to suffer from lines and wrinkles across the brow area more than women and it can be a tell tale sign of age.

A deeply furrowed brow can cause the eyebrows to droop; giving the face a tired or sad appearance and making you look older. In severe cases drooping brows can even affect vision.

As we gret older the collagen producing cells diminsh, and the long-term effects of gravity cause teh underlying muscles to stretch, making the brow sometimes sag and wrinles. A brow lift can remedythis by raising the brows and lifting the eyelids.
