What Is a Brow Lift?
As we age, we often see aged droopy eyebrows and deep forehead furrows. Traditionally, a coronal brow lift (a long incision across the forehead) is performed to raise eyebrows and smooth forehead skin through incisions near the hairline. The final eyebrow position is unpredictable, and the coronal scars may be difficult to hide. In recent years, the Pittsburgh Center surgeons commonly use a limited lateral brow lift which is a hairline skin excision with eyebrow suspension via a slowly dissolvable Quill barbed suture.
The incisions are inconspicuous, and the recovery is much quicker and less unwanted risk than in the traditional techniques. The new attractively arched and slightly raised eyebrows are usually long-lasting. With a limited lateral brow lift Pittsburgh patients can combat the effects of time, sun and stress, to leave a younger and more refreshed appearance.*
