Browlift

With advancing age, the loss of skin elasticity coupled with the effects of gravity cause the eyebrows to descend, as well as the facial skin and other parts of the body. Frequently, excess upper eyelid skin is the result of a descended or sagging brow. If this condition goes unrecognized and an upper eyelid lift (blepharoplasty) is performed without addressing the descended brow, the results will suffer. It is therefore essential that you choose a qualified plastic surgeon who can recognize the true cause of your excess upper eyelid skin. The brow lift procedure can be done in the office, by raising the eyebrows, returns excess upper eyelid skin to its normal position, giving a youthful appearance to the orbit.

The prodedure itself may be performed using various techniques including the open brow lift through an incision over the top of the head, the endoscopic brow lift using a small telescope-like instrument through small scalp incisions, and limited access open techniques using small temporal scalp incisions or upper eyelid incisions. A full consultation with Dr. Miller or Mary Lee Cudd at Fayetteville Plastic Surgery will determine which technique is best for your situation.
