The appearance of aging lines or furrows between the brows and horizontal lines on the forehead may make you appear older, tired and angry. Brow lift or forehead lift surgery is an ideal procedure to reverse these effects and restore a tighter and smoother appearance of your upper face. 

During the initial consultation, your surgeon will determine whether you are a fit candidate for brow lift. In some cases, they may recommend brow lift in conjunction with eyelid lift to create more harmonious results. Sometimes, Botox injections may also be a prudent choice, if you want to avoid surgery. Your surgeon will give you the right advice according to your aesthetic goals and your unique facial issues.

Candidacy

People who are 40 or above usually make good candidates for brow lift or forehead lift plastic surgery. At this age, brow line typically begins to droop, and conspicuous wrinkles and fine lines may appear along the forehead. A few candidates may be only in their 20s or 30s when they need brow lift, if the problem of sagging brows runs in the family.

An ideal candidate will have realistic expectations and will be committed to following the surgeon’s pre- and post-surgery care instructions. If you suffer from one or more of the following conditions, you could be a candidate for a brow lift / forehead lift:

• Droopy brows 
• Older or tired look on the face 
• Heavy upper lids 
• Deep horizontal lines on the forehead 
• Visible furrows between the brows 
• Vision obstruction caused by heavily sagging brows 

Correction of Forehead Lines 

Fine lines and wrinkles along the forehead may emerge over the years because of repetitive expressions and the forehead skin becoming loose. You may start feeling self-conscious due to these apparent aging signs.

While Botox and dermal filler injections are a good way to address these conditions, they will only produce limited improvement and the effects will last for a shorter duration. If you are seeking more sustainable and substantial enhancement in the upper face appearance, a brow lift or forehead lift may be the right solution for you. 

Reversing Dull and Tired Upper Face Appearance 

Underlying muscles in your forehead will become loose as you age, which will create an older or less alert looking upper face appearance. It will also cause sagging of your brows. 

Even if you may be feeling refreshed and youthful from inside, this appearance will make your face appear dull and tired. If you want your outer appearance of the upper face to reflect youthfulness, brow lift cosmetic surgery may be your best option.

Additional Candidacy Requirements

You should be in good general health, have a positive mindset and clear aesthetic goals if you want to achieve satisfactory results from your brow lift. To be an ideal candidate, you should avoid smoking for a few weeks before and after the surgery and follow your surgeon’s preparation and recovery guidelines.

Brow lift or forehead lift is a cosmetic surgery procedure aimed at improving the upper face appearance by reducing wrinkles and furrows between the brows as well as horizontal aging lines on the forehead. Your surgeon will educate you about the procedure during your pre-op consultation, and may also present brow lift before and after images at the first meeting. 

You should closely review as many before and after photos as you can to get a clear idea of the potential benefits this surgery can provide you. More than any verbal assurance, these pictures will provide you a clearer visual idea of whether brow lift surgery appeals to you or not.

What are Forehead Lift Before and After Photos?

Brow lift or forehead lift ‘before and after’ photos include a set of pictures belonging to past patients who have been through the same surgery with satisfactory results. The set will include photographs taken prior to the surgery and after the surgery at a stage when the recovery is completed and the final results of brow lift are apparent. 

The surgeon will obtain these photos with the patient’s clear consent and show them in a discreet and appropriate manner to new patients. They will keep the patient’s identity confidential as per protocol. The surgeon’s sole motive behind this exercise would be to educate new patients about what a brow lift or forehead lift plastic surgery can or cannot do for them. 

The amazing aspect of this topic though is digital technology and the fact that you can determine a significant amount of information by checking out these images. And digital technology enables someone to make a decision sometimes without anyone being the wiser. Who does not have a family member that enjoys gossiping a little too much? These images allow someone to make a serious decision without anyone else knowing you were even considering going this route.

Advantages

It is natural for a new patient to have some concerns or anxiety about how their face will appear after their brow lift or forehead lift surgery. Some patients may only need a limited correct with an endoscopic brow lift, while some others with significantly sagging brows may need a traditional brow lift surgery.

At times, the brow lift may be performed in conjunction with an eyelid lift or another facial procedure for more effective results. For a new patient, it can be hard to make the best choice when multiple treatment options and techniques are discussed. This is where the surgeon may utilize brow lift or forehead before and after photos to help the patient make a more enlightened decision. 

Keeping Reasonable Expectations 

Your brow lift surgery results will not be determined by the surgeon’s skills alone. Your own objectivity, positive approach, and realistic expectations will have a critical role. 

When you review brow lift / forehead lift before and after images, you will be in a position to form more reasonable expectations and reduce the risk of any misunderstanding or disappointment occurring at a later stage. 

Sharing Photos on Social Media

Surgeons have an opportunity to disseminate brow lift before and after photos to a larger audience via social photo sharing platforms such as Instagram, Pinterest, and Facebook. This can increase awareness about the potential benefits of this procedure. 

With internet technology you can see these images from anywhere you want. You can even be in another country or in the middle of a rainforest – it does not matter. You can make this key decision without having to make one phone call which increases the quality of life of you and so many others.

Factors Affecting the Cost

Costs of brow lift plastic surgery can vary between two practices, and sometimes even between two patients at the same practice. Factors that will usually make a difference to your final costs include: 

Practice Location

Practice location will influence the overall cost of your forehead lift surgery. If the practice is situation in a downtown metro area or a premier urban center, their cost of real estate and other overheads might be higher than that of a practice located in a smaller town or on the outskirts. This will indirectly reflect in the cost of your brow lift procedure at a particular practice. 

Surgeon’s Fee

Your surgeon’s qualifications, experience, board certification if any, and their professional standing in the field can make a difference to the fee they will charge for the procedure. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, your primary consideration should be the surgeon’s skills and authority in the field of brow lift surgery, while the fee aspect should only be a secondary factor in your decision. 

Surgical Venue and Anesthesia Expenses

Your surgeon may perform the brow lift or forehead lift surgery using general anesthesia. This will involve the fee of an anesthesiologist or a certified nurse anesthetist. They may charge on a hourly basis and their fee would vary according to their qualifications and experience. Your surgeon may be performed at a hospital, an accredited surgery center, or a private surgical suite. The costs and benefits will vary in each case.

Choice of Surgical Technique

Your surgeon may decide to perform your procedure as a traditional brow lift or an endoscopic brow lift surgery. Endoscopic procedure will be relatively less invasive, but sometimes traditional brow lift surgery may be better under the circumstances. The type of technique chosen will make a difference to the costs. 

Sometimes you may combine your brow lift / forehead lift with an eyelid surgery or a facelift. Your upfront costs would increase in case of a combined surgery. You should also weigh your insurance and financing options carefully well in advance.
