A brow lift is suitable for those who, after a day’s work, notice their eyelids sagging in front of their eyes (hooding). It is also a solution for people who look tired and worn down but who aren't, and in cases where Botox is no longer effective.

Others might suffer from headaches. Having to keep lifting their eyebrows will exert the forehead muscle and cause tension headaches. The tension can spread through the tendon plate over the scalp to the neck muscles and cause neck pain. The forehead lift moves the skin of the forehead and eyebrows relative to the forehead muscle, allowing the latter to relax. This reduces/eliminates headaches and neck pain.

A forehead lift positively affects forehead lines, the fold above the nose and the position of the eyebrows. It makes you look younger, more friendly, and more relaxed, giving you a more ‘open’ look.

Forehead lift for men

Men usually have lower eyebrows than women. In men eligible for a forehead lift and with a retracting hairline, the scar can be hidden in the upper forehead line. Another option is the limited brow lift, as mentioned above, with a scar in the eyebrow. The picture below shows the location of the scar in a limited brow lift. The photo album contains several examples of the forehead lift in men, with the scar in the upper forehead line. In men without a retracting hairline, the forehead lift is performed as it would be in a female patient.
