The Brow Lift Tightens Loose Skin on the Forehead

Published on August 18, 2017 by Mitchell D. Kaye

The eyebrows and the forehead play significant roles in communicating our emotions. Unfortunately, over time, the brow and the skin of the forehead may start to sag. This can make you look constantly fatigued, confused, or angry, obscuring your true emotions.

There are numerous factors that affect the shape and position of the eyebrows. These include genetics, aging of the depressor and brow elevator muscles, and gravity. To lift sagging brows and smooth out the skin of the forehead, we offer a procedure known as the coronal brow lift.

Coronal Brow Lift

A coronal brow lift is a procedure that rejuvenates the area above the eyes to restore a more refreshed appearance. It removes the excess sagging skin from the forehead and brow in order to restore a more youthful appearance.

The coronal brow lift, or traditional brow lift, is the standard technique for raising the brow and rejuvenating the forehead. Your surgeon will ensure that anesthesia is administered to you to make you comfortable during the coronal brow lift surgery.

This procedure involves one long incision made behind the hairline running from ear to ear. This incision helps the surgeon get access to the treatment area and makes it easier for them to bring out natural-looking results.

Once the incision is created, excess fat, muscle, and skin are removed and the remaining skin and muscles are repositioned and tightened to create a youthful and revitalized look. The incision made during the surgery is then closed using removable or absorbable sutures, skin adhesives, or special clips.

Benefits of the Coronal Brow Lift

Here are some of the key benefits of the coronal brow lift surgery:

• It helps in minimizing the wrinkle lines that tend to develop on your forehead, including the vertical wrinkles between the eyes and the horizontal ones across the forehead.
• It corrects hooding of the brows over the upper eyelids.
• It helps raise your eyebrows back up to a youthful and alert position.

After the Surgery

After the surgery, you may experience some degree of temporary pain, discomfort, swelling, bruising, and tightness throughout the forehead. Your doctor will inform you of various ways to address these issues.

You will be encouraged by your doctor to walk around the house during the recovery period in order to maintain healthy circulation. Within four weeks of the surgery, you will be able to resume all of your normal activities.

Is the Coronal Brow Lift for You?

The coronal brow lift suits some people more than others because of its effects on the forehead and eyebrows. A consultation with an experienced surgeon is necessary if you decide to go ahead with the procedure.
