Aging is one of the main factors that lead people to brow lift treatment when brows tend to move down as we age. As the skin ages, it loses elasticity along with the soft tissues and hence results in the shortening of the distance between eyebrows and eyelashes; this often causes the eyes to look tired and dull all the time.

Brow lift is a cosmetic procedure performed to improve symmetry of low and sagging brows. Also known as a forehead lift or forehead rejuvenation, brow lift also helps to improve the appearance of the forehead while focusing on the brow and the area around the eyes by raising soft tissue and skin of the forehead and brow.

Brow lift works by 3 different methods available, depending on the eyebrows condition as well as the height of the hairline of an individual. The methods involve incisions either between the hairline or top of the head and operate on different areas such as skin tissues, scalp, as well as forehead skin.

The methods used vary depending on the desired results. One of the following techniques will be used to perform the surgery:

· Endoscopic Brow Lift - Several small incisions will be made behind the hairline, an endoscope will be inserted with a long thin tube through one of the incisions to view the underlying muscles and tissues. In this method, forehead tissues will be lifted and anchored with sutures or small screws.

· Coronal Brow Lift - An incision will be made behind the hairline across the top of the head; the forehead will be lifted into a new position by the method of scalp overlapping. The overlapping scalp will be removed and the remaining one will be sewn together.

· Hairline Brow Lift - An incision will be made between the top of forehead and the beginning of the hairline A small amount of skin and tissue will be removed from the forehead instead of the scalp. This method is often used for the ones that have a high receding hairline.
