Based on the most recent facial plastic surgery statistics compiled by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, more people will be curious about and open to surgical procedures especially those geared toward rejuvenating the face. 

One of these procedures that can erase years from one’s face is the brow lift. Also known as the forehead lift, the brow lift surgery, as explained by Dr. Adam Stein, a Raleigh, NC-based facial plastic surgeon, can correct droopy eyebrows that make a person appear tired and sad and the furrowed forehead that result in a stressed or even angry look. What the surgery does is: 
  • Lift the sagging brow
  • Raise the upper eyelids ·
  • Smooth deep creases in the forehead
  • Minimize frown lines between the eyebrows, and ·Improve the appearance of crow’s feet. 

And while the brow lift surgery may seem too invasive for some, patients need not worry, for these days, an endoscopic brow lift is available. Compared to the brow lift procedure of the past that calls for a large incision from ear to ear on the scalp, an endoscopic brow lift employs a minimally invasive technique that requires only tiny incisions in the hairline. Apart from a very natural-looking result, patients can also expect faster healing, less swelling, and well-concealed scarring after an endoscopic brow lift. 

As with any medical procedure, it is critical that patients consult only a board-certified facial plastic surgeon for any surgery or treatment they wish performed on them. A seasoned doctor can address any question or concern a patient may have regarding a desired procedure.
