Brow Lifts

Page — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 19:27:42 +0000

The classic forehead lift involves an incision starting at about ear level and running across the top of the forehead and down the other side of the head. The incision is usually made well behind the hairline so that the scar won’t be visible. A browlift may sometimes be performed using an endoscope (surgical video device) and special instruments placed through small incisions made within the hair line. This allows the tissue and muscle beneath the skin to be repositioned, altered or removed, correcting the source of visible creases and furrows in the forehead. Dr. Rhett High stopped in our studios to tell Page all about this procedure that can take years off your face in just a few hours, and with just a little over a week recovery time.
