- BROW LIFT
Changes in brow position over time can lead to sagging brows, hooded eyelids and the development of forehead wrinkles. A brow lift procedure is designed to address these concerns by adjusting the position of the eyebrows and smoothing the forehead.
At Eastern Plastic Surgery, we offer a brow lift in Melbourne to refine the contours of the upper face and restore a more balanced brow position. This surgical procedure can improve the appearance of drooping eyebrows and reduce forehead wrinkles, creating a refreshed and well-defined result.
What Is a Brow Lift?
A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is a surgical procedure that repositions the eyebrows and addresses sagging brows by adjusting the underlying tissues. There are different techniques available, including the endoscopic brow lift and the traditional brow lift, both of which target the upper face to create a more lifted appearance. By adjusting the brow position, this procedure helps to open up the upper face and can improve concerns such as hooded eyelids and forehead wrinkles. The specific approach taken depends on individual goals and facial structure.Benefits of a Brow Lift

The choice between an endoscopic brow lift and a traditional brow lift depends on factors such as skin laxity and the degree of correction required.Types of Brow Lift Techniques
