Why should I consider a brow lift with my facelift?

As we age, our facial tissues succumb to gravity, sliding south. This gives way to lower eyebrows, hooded eyes, sagging cheeks, jowls, and looseness beneath the chin. The face ages as a unit.

When we're looking to rejuvenate your appearance, we want that lift and refresh to be natural and uniform. Sometimes that only includes the middle and lower thirds of the face, while other times, it includes the entire face.

When we're considering lifting the cheeks, jowls, and neck with a deep plane face and neck lift, we may also want to include the upper third of the face by opting to add a brow lift.

Brow lifting is best achieved subtly, through two paired incisions along the temples. Through the small incisions, we're able to release and reposition the heavy eyebrows. The goal of brow lifting is to take the heaviness away, without leaving you looking surprised or stretched.
