Brow Lift
A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is a popular cosmetic procedure designed to rejuvenate the upper face by lifting the brows and smoothing out forehead wrinkles. This procedure can dramatically improve the appearance of sagging eyelids, frown lines, and forehead creases, giving the face a more youthful, refreshed look. Dr. Roomana Akhlaque, a highly experienced plastic surgeon, specializes in brow lifts, providing her patients with natural-looking results that enhance their facial features and restore confidence.
What is a Brow Lift?
As we age, the skin and muscles around the forehead and brow area can lose elasticity, leading to drooping brows, deep lines, and a tired, aged appearance.
A brow lift addresses these concerns by lifting the brows and tightening the skin, reducing sagging and wrinkles. Dr. Akhlaque customizes the procedure based on each patient’s unique facial anatomy and aesthetic goals, ensuring results that complement the individual’s overall facial structure.
Benefits of a Brow Lift
- Youthful Appearance: A brow lift smooths out deep forehead lines and elevates drooping eyebrows, resulting in a more youthful and refreshed look.
- Improved Facial Expression: By lifting the brows, a brow lift can help reduce the appearance of a constantly furrowed or tired expression, giving the face a more open and approachable appearance.
- Enhanced Confidence: Many patients experience a boost in self-esteem after a brow lift, feeling more confident in their appearance without the worry of sagging skin or furrowed brows.
- Non-Surgical Options: Dr. Akhlaque offers both surgical and non-surgical brow lift options, such as Botox or injectable treatments, for patients seeking more subtle changes with minimal downtime..
The brow lift procedure begins with a thorough consultation where Dr. Akhlaque will assess your facial structure and discuss your aesthetic goals. She will explain the best approach for your needs, whether it’s a traditional surgical brow lift or a less invasive method using Botox or dermal fillers.
For a surgical brow lift, Dr. Roomana Akhlaque typically makes small incisions along the hairline or in natural facial creases, depending on the technique chosen. Through these incisions, she will lift the brow tissue, tighten underlying muscles, and remove excess skin. The result is a smoother, more youthful appearance with minimal scarring.
The procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation, ensuring your comfort throughout. Recovery time varies depending on the method used, but most patients can return to normal activities within 7-10 days after surgery.
