Brow Lift (Forehead Lift) Pictures

Details: How are brow and forehead lifts performed? Several techniques may be used to raise the brow. A thin incision may be placed directly above the eye browsresulting in a more alert and rejuvenated expression yet leaving a telltale scar. Insurance companies on occasion will pay for this technique when the brow is so low that vision is impaired. For a more cosmetically pleasing outcome, patients often elect a brow lift with a much less visibleif not entirely hiddenscar. By placing a thin incision along the crease of the upper eyelid, Dr. Mark Berkowitz is able to reposition the brow as well as remove excess sagging tissue from the upper lidsand once healed, any scarring is quite faint. Raising a heavy forehead is slightly more complicated. Tiny incisions are hidden in the hairline. Then, Dr. Berkowitz uses endoscopic equipment (a small camera about the size of a pencil) to clearly see the tissue, nerves and muscles beneath the skin. With another thin instrument, Dr. Berkowitz is able to reposition the brow using a newer device, called an endotine.
