About Sub-Brow Lifts in Los Angeles

As we age, our skin loses its elasticity and tautness of youth. Sun damage, caffeine, alcohol can all exacerbate the effects of natural aging. Sometimes called forehead rejuvenation, sub-brow lifts help restore a youthful appearance to your facial features.

Your Personal Consultation with Dr. Kim

He will be open and transparent about what can be achieved with a sub-brow lift and what limitations exist. A surgeon should be able to show you a portfolio of before-and-after pictures, so you develop an honest understanding of the procedure’s results. In short, you want a surgeon that specializes in the procedure you want.

Corresponding Procedures: Forehead Lift

Patients can receive double eyelid surgery for correcting drooping eyelids. However, there are patients who may have already undergone double eyelid surgery and desire another approach to enhance their eyelid functionality and appearance. Depending on the severity of the slouching brows, the presence of double eyelids, and the thickness of the eyelid, Dr. Kim will determine if a forehead lift is the most suitable surgery for the patient. It is imperative that a surgeon examine the patient in order to determine the location and the cause of the sagging.

A forehead lift begins with an incision on the scalp. Then, Dr. Kim repositions the skin and muscle of the forehead and brows. As the forehead region is pulled upward, we correct sagging eyelids and also clear forehead wrinkles. Dr. Kim carefully places the incision on the scalp which leaves minimal scarring. Some surgeons make the common mistake of injuring the sensory nerves during a forehead lift. It is important that a surgeon possesses a thorough understanding of forehead anatomy so there is minimal sensory deficit after surgery.

Patients with high eyebrow positions are not the best candidates for a forehead lift to correct sagging eyelids. A forehead lift will over-elevate the brow position which will result in a persistent look of surprise. These patients should receive a sub-brow lift instead.

In addition, the frowning muscle/corrugator muscle can also be removed at the same time. Brow lifts are adaptable procedures. The customizable nature of the procedure makes it highly effective in refreshing the appearance of those with heavy eyelids.
