Look younger, refreshed, and even more alert with a browlift at Atlanta Face & Body!
The forehead and brow are often the first places to reveal the signs of aging. As the skin and soft tissues in these areas age, you may begin noticing you appear to look older and more fatigued than you actually feel. The effects of gravity along with consistent facial expressions over time add to this outcome, leading to the following undesirable effects:
- Wrinkles and deep creases across the forehead
- Brow line and upper eyelid drooping
- Grooves between the brows
- Diminished natural arch of the eyebrow
But these effects aren’t reserved for only those of advanced age. Even people as young as their 30s can experience them. As a result, many people of various age ranges have opted for some form of a forehead or browlift procedure.
At Atlanta Face & Body, we offer a host of proven surgical and nonsurgical forehead/browlift options designed to treat varying degrees of facial aging.
What forehead/browlift procedures are offered at Atlanta Face & Body?
There are a number of both surgical and noninvasive procedures that can effectively accomplish a desired lifting effect for the forehead and brow and help you reclaim a youthful, refreshed look.
First, let’s evaluate a few nonsurgical options that can provide subtle changes in brow/forehead improvement. These include:
Botox® & Xeomin® injections – Prominent forehead creases and brow furrows can be brought on by specific facial expressions that repeatedly cause the skin to crease. But these popular neurotoxins can correct these issues quickly and effectively by preventing the specific impulses that cause the facial expressions responsible for lines and wrinkles. Following injections, the muscles are relaxed around the injected area, temporarily reducing or eliminating wrinkles to provide a much smoother, younger-looking appearance. Results typically last for 3-4 months.
Morphheus8 – Morpheus8 is a minimally invasive microneedling device that utilizes radiofrequency energy to revitalize the skin of the face and body. It’s the first and only FDA-cleared technology to provide deep subdermal adipose tissue remodeling. Basically, this fractional treatment penetrates the deeper layers of the skin and fat to boost collagen and elastin production to promote a smoother, more youthful appearance. Many patients experience results that last over a year.
Vivace® – This revolutionary microneedling technique uses 36 tiny, insulated needles to gently distribute heat into the skin. The heat then stimulates your skin’s natural collagen and elastin production to promote a gradual tightening effect. FDA-cleared Vivace is one of the most precise radio frequency microneedling devices currently available in the aesthetics industry, with 31 adjustments at very small increments to fit a variety of skin types and conditions. Most Vivace patients experience results that last for a few years, though this will vary depending on the number of treatments and touch-up treatments. Patients who opt for routine touch-ups report long-term results.
Ultherapy® – Ultherapy is a game-changing beautification system that stimulates collagen production by delivering focused ultrasound energy not only to the dermis of the skin but to the foundation layer (SMAS) underneath as well. This ultrasound energy triggers a natural response under the skin, jumpstarting the regenerative process that produces fresh, new collagen. It’s that new collagen that results in noticeable lifting and tightening of tissue.
While Ultherapy won’t produce the more dramatic results of a surgical facelift, it is a clinically proven, noninvasive alternative with no incisions. The ultrasound energy can also be used on all skin types. Though every patient is different, optimal results appear over two to three months and can last up to a year or more. Touch-up treatments can help patients experience longer-lasting results.
To Sum It Up For Nonsurgical Forehead/Browlift Options
Some of these nonsurgical procedures provide a “lifted” effect in the brow area and improve facial balance and harmony, while others essentially smooth the creases on the forehead. Since every solution is personalized, Dr. Elizabeth will discuss the different options for brow lifting during your consultation and explain the advantages of each in detail.
What about surgery?
In the event surgery is required to meet your individual goals, a variety of incisions and procedures can be employed to help you reach your desired outcome. Some involve minimal incisions and primarily elevate the lateral brow which causes hooding of the eyes. Other procedures may lift the entire forehead to smooth the forehead, and even lower a high hairline. Whichever procedure is performed, Dr. Elizabeth focuses on creating a natural look while improving overall facial balance and harmony.
Before & After: Forehead/Brow Lift
Am I a good candidate for a browlift?
People in generally good health who are bothered by frown lines between the brows are generally good candidates for a browlift procedure. After we discuss your individual aesthetic goals, we’ll go over more details about the available procedures to help you determine which one may be the best option for you. Before deciding upon any procedure, Dr. Elizabeth and her staff will perform a thorough evaluation to ensure you’re well informed on the right one to meet your aesthetic goals.
What kind of downtime can I expect from a browlift procedure?
Since there are so many different procedures that can improve the appearance of your brow and forehead region, recovery times can vary significantly. With Botox, Morpheus8, and Ultherapy, no downtime is typically needed. Most patients return to their normal activities immediately following treatment. With Vivace, most patients resume daily activities with 24-48 hours.
As for any of the procedures requiring surgical incisions, complete recovery may take several weeks, with no work or other strenuous activity allowed for the first few days. Dr. Elizabeth will go over all details of necessary recovery time depending on your chosen procedure.
What kind of results can I expect from a browlift procedure?
Just as with recovery, results will depend largely on which treatment you get. The noninvasive options are wonderful for smoothing lines and wrinkles. Dr. Elizabeth and her team will discuss these details with you so you know exactly what to expect.
