Some of the most noticeable signs of aging appear on the forehead, directly above the eyebrows. Creases, fine lines and deep grooves in this area cannot be covered with makeup, and sagging eyebrows can result in a tired, aged appearance.
There is one procedure that corrects the appearance of the eyebrows and enhances the natural arch, and this procedure involves only a few incisions. It’s known as the Delta Lift, and works by anchoring the tissues above the eyes slightly higher than their natural placement so that the eyebrows appear brighter, more youthful, and some of the lines in the forehead simply disappear. Here are some of the other anti-aging benefits of the Delta Lift:
1. Symmetrical eyebrows. Many people do not have symmetrical eyebrows, and this creates aesthetic disharmony and makes it difficult to pluck and groom the brows properly. The Delta Lift can create more symmetry because the surgeon can use various techniques to lift one side higher than the other when needed. The result is evenly-spaced brows with just the right arch.
2. Fuller eyebrows. An eyebrow transplant is often performed in conjunction with the Delta Lift so that the eyebrows appear more youthful and become a more prominent facial feature. The surgeon can insert natural hairs and groom them so that they blend with existing hairs easily. This creates a more attractive and well-balanced appearance.
3. Reduction of lines between the eyes. Since the skin and tissues are pulled up a few millimeters with the Delta Lift, the skin between the eyes may become smoother. Many people have excessive lines and wrinkles between their eyebrows (at the top of their nose), and this can add years to their appearance. The Delta Lift can reduce the appearance of these lines, or eliminate them altogether.
4. Smoother forehead. While the Delta Lift cannot get rid of deep grooves and lines in the forehead completely, it can help reduce their appearance. The skin tissues are anchored above the eyes in such a way that the skin does appear tighter and more toned. The Delta Lift may be combined with Botox at a later date to further reduce lines and wrinkles in this area.
5. Improved skin tone and texture. As the skin tissues are repositioned and a new lower forehead area is sculpted, the skin will become more toned. The Delta Lift has a slight tightening effect, and skin will continue to become tighter and more toned as part of the healing process. The result is a smooth, even surface that may even mimic the effects of
Botox injections.
The Delta Lift is one of the most innovative facelift surgery procedures available, and is currently offered by many plastic surgeons and aesthetic clinics in the United States. Some patients decide to have Botox injections or skin tightening treatments after their skin has healed completely in order to enhance their results.
