Looking in the mirror and seeing a face that looks tired, aged and even angry can be extremely discouraging, especially if one doesn’t feel this way, but their face gives off that impression to the outside world.

Often as a person ages the eyebrows begin to descend, causing one to appear much older and worn out than they feel, but a forehead lift (also known as a brow lift) can help alleviate these problems. A forehead lift not only lifts a saggy brow line but also helps create a smoother, more refined look to the forehead. Additionally, this procedure can help to lessen the appearance of crow’s feet in the temple area next to the eye.

Repositioning forehead skin may be necessary to achieve the optimal improvement in eyelid surgery, attracting attention to opened, more inviting eyes. For those with heavy descended brows undergoing a facelift procedure, a forehead lift may be key to maintaining a natural look. Modern technology has improved the way we perform this procedure. New techniques include using lighted scopes placed through small, well-hidden incisions within your hairline. This leads to less swelling, bruising and your recovery time is much quicker.

A facelift or eyelid surgery combined with a forehead lift can make a marked difference in creating a more open and youthful appearance to the face. Dr. Santin believes this simple procedure will allow you to look refreshed, relaxed and rejuvenated.
