Eyebrow and Forehead Lift

With an eyebrow lift, also referred to as a brow lift or forehead lift, worry and tension lines located between the brows and on the forehead are softened and droopy eyebrows raised to provide you with a youthful, awake, less worried and more energetic appearance. This procedure is often included with a facelift and/or eyelid surgery.

Forehead lift scars may be at or hidden behind the hairline. If you have strong “#11” lines between your brows that are often treated or relaxed with BOTOX^® Cosmetic, a portion of the muscles responsible for these frown lines may be removed to eliminate the need for BOTOX^® injections. The eyebrows are positioned at a higher level. Raising the brow position and treating the frown muscle improves a “tired” or “angry” look and may replace the need for an upper eyelid lift by decreasing upper eyelid skin hooding. Dr. Steven Yarinsky can significantly rejuvenate areas of the upper face with this effective procedure.
