Browlift
On days when you are feeling well rested and content, does your facial expression tell a different story? Often, the forehead is the main culprit. A lined or furrowed brow can make a serene face appear upset or concerned. Frown lines between the eyebrows can produce an angry look. A dropping brow can create a perpetually tired or sad look.

How is a forehead lift performed?
The technique chosen for your surgery depends on your features, Dr Wigoda's preferences and your desired results.

One common method is the coronal incision technique. Using this technique, an incision is made across the top of the scalp, beginning above the ears and concealed within the hair. Sometimes the incision may be placed at the front of the hairline. The incision is designed to be inconspicuous when healed. Working through this incision, Dr. Wigoda can modify or remove parts of the muscles that cause wrinkling and frown lines, remove excess skin and lift your eyebrows to a more pleasing level.

A new technique performed by Dr. Wigoda is the endoscopic browlift. Three to five small incisions are made behind the hairline. A camera and specially designed instruments are used to raise the brow and weaken the muscles that cause wrinkling and frown lines. the recovery period is quicker, the risk of scalp numbness and hair loss is reduced, and the results are excellent.

You may be a good candidate for forehead lift if you have any of the following types of conditions:

• Sagging or low position of the eyebrows, creating a tired or sad appearance
• Deep horizontal creases across the forehead
• Frown lines, or furrows, between the eyebrows and sometimes across the top of the nose
