A low brow can detract from an otherwise aesthetically pleasing face. With age the brow begins to descend. As the brow descends the eyebrows drop below their ideal location. For woman, the ideal location of the eyebrow is above the underlying bone of the orbit. For men, the level of the eyebrow should be at the level of the underlying bone.
The brow helps to frame the face and a low brow can “close off” the face. A low brow can potentially push the upper eyelid skin down over the lash line. In some cases, there may be extra upper eyelid skin present that needs to be treated along with a browlift. In other cases, a browlift alone may be sufficient to improve these signs and symptoms. Not only can a browlift open up the eye area but can have a dramatic influence on overall facial aesthetics. Repositioning the brow can improve the tired look that a low brow creates. Procedures such as eyelid lifts and facelifts often accompany the decision to have a brow lift. Determining the optimal treatment for each individual patient is part of the consultation with Dr. Lee.
There are multiple ways to perform a browlift. Through listening to each patient’s concerns and examining their anatomy, Dr. Lee can determine the best surgical approach to maintain a natural but rejuvenated brow.
