Brow Lift Surgery ~ At The Olive Institute, Nelson, New Zealand

The effects of aging are inevitable, and often the telltale signs of age are more evident in the brow and forehead areas. A brow lift or foreheadplasty makes it possible to correct facial flaws and signs of premature aging that are most pronounced in the brow region. By changing how you look, cosmetic surgery can help change how you feel about yourself.

How will a Brow Lift or Forehead Lift Enhance My Appearance?

A Brow lift (forehead lift) is a plastic surgery procedure that will raise your eyebrows to a higher and more aesthetic position. It also has the significant benefit of rejuvenating the upper eyelids. To a large extent, the excess or saggy skin on the upper eyelid is due to the brow dropping down as we age. Cosmetic surgery performed on your forehead will also soften your horizontal forehead wrinkles and the vertical frown lines between your eyebrows.

It's important to note that a brow lift will NOT improve baggy lower eyelids, puffy eyes, or crow's feet.

The browlift can also done for functional reasons in cases where there has been permanent injury to the facial nerve from trauma, surgery or tumour.
