Brow Lift

A brow lift can raise the eyebrows to a more youthful position giving the upper face a more rested and soft appearance. As we age, gravity pulls the eyebrows and forehead tissue down causing the brows to flatten. To compensate for this, we continually raise our brows by contracting our forehead muscles. This results in horizontal wrinkling of the forehead.
