We all know that wrinkles and lines will eventually appear on our faces sooner or later. However, what we may not expect is how these changes can affect our appearance, especially on our upper face. At first glance, a brow lift may seem like it will just make your forehead look lighter. It is actually very beneficial to have an eyebrow lift.
The appearance of our eyebrows and other facial features sags due to the loss of some of our youthful skin’s components, such as collagen for skin, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. When we see people with glowing skin, these natural substances do their jobs properly.
Brow Lift
This procedure is not the first choice for many people when it comes to looking for an anti-aging plan. However, after learning about all the benefits of this procedure, we think people will be more inclined to consider it.
In fact, an eyebrow lift also referred to as a brow plasty, is a procedure that removes excess skin and tissue from the forehead to restore a more youthful look. It can be done to lift the facial muscles and tone the forehead. The goal is to lift the furrows and muscles so that people look younger and more attractive.
Different Kinds Of Brow Lift
Coronal Lift
The forehead lift is a procedure that involves lifting the entire forehead area. It removes excess skin and helps smooth the forehead. It also involves lifting the muscles and tissue beneath the skin.
Direct Brow Lift
This procedure is not as standard as it used to be due to the incisions being made directly above the brows, then concealed by the hair follicles. It is mainly performed on older men with thick eyebrows and those with specific brow corrections.
This lift is ideal for people with high hairlines and bald men who are looking for a more natural-looking way to reverse their drooping eyebrows. It can also be performed on individuals with low hairlines. There are a few less common procedures that Dr. Paine can discuss with you if he thinks they may be a good choice for you.
Endoscopic Lift
Through small incisions made on the scalp, the surgeon can see the muscles and tissue of the body through an endoscope. This procedure is commonly performed for forehead and brow lifts. Besides the removal of fat and tissue, the muscles can also be manipulated to create a more sculpted and youthful appearance.
What is Collagen?
The amplest protein in our bodies, collagen is a fibrous protein that makes up our skin, connective tissues, and other organs. We have plenty of this protein when we are young, which means that our skin is incredibly resilient and strong.
The collagen in the middle layer of our skin, known as the dermis, is tightly packed together, which creates an almost unbreakable foundation for our skin. The smooth and solid foundation makes our skin look great on top. When people smile, frown, or laugh, their underlying skin is not affected, which keeps wrinkles, fine lines, and unevenness at bay. This is also beneficial for our complexions, preventing our skin from getting damaged.
The presence of collagen helps anchor our skin’s outer layer, the epidermis, and the hypodermis, the deepest part of the body. The strength and volume of the collagen beneath the skin’s surface are responsible for the anchoring of the epidermis.
The same is true for our middle layer, the dermis. This is where our connective tissues and muscles come together. When fat pads and muscles stay in place, our youthful profile and appearance can be enhanced. This is done through the eyebrow lifting and shaping of our facial muscles and the appearance of our arched eyebrows.
What is Elastin?
We have plenty of elastin in our bodies when we are young. This protein is responsible for keeping all of our organs, including the skin, flexible and elastic. If we smile or pull our skin back, it will immediately snap back into its original position.
Elastin helps keep our skin looking young and firm. It is vital because it allows us to maintain our natural structure and appearance. It also helps keep our bones and tissues in place.
