braʊ lɪft

The ideal position of the brow is determined by your preference, gender, racial background and overall facial proportions and harmony.  Its relationship to the superior orbital rim, or upper eye socket margin, in terms of height and curvature has a powerful impact on the demeanour you portray.  In addition to the aesthetic influence on your appearance, a heavy brow may also have functional implications by weighing down onto the upper eyelids with the potential consequence of partial visual field obstruction.
‍
Various elements and areas of the brow and forehead may be of concern such as excess skin, position of the brow, position of the hairline and wrinkles.  Placement of incision and method of approach will be determined by your areas of concern and specific goals you want to achieve.
‍
A brow lift can be executed through a direct or indirect approach.  A direct approach places an incision along the eyebrow itself, whereas indirect brow lifts utilise incisions that are placed in the scalp or temple within or behind the hairline.
‍
Technical factors to consider when discussing and performing a brow lift are where the incisions are placed, which anatomical plane of dissection is used and what the method of fixation is.
Delivering a tailored approach that works best for you ensures your procedure is safe, effective and satisfactory.
