As the brow gradually settles lower with age, it can make your eyes look heavy and leave you looking tired, upset, or older than you feel. A brow lift repositions the brow to restore a brighter, more rested appearance while softening some of the most noticeable signs of aging across the upper face.
At Daniel Tresley MD in Northbrook, IL, board-certified ophthalmologist Dr. Daniel Tresley is one of only a handful of oculofacial plastic surgeons in the Chicago area. He has performed more than 10,000 oculofacial procedures, bringing exceptional expertise to brow lift surgery.
A Brow Lift Corrects More Than Low Brows
Many people assume a brow lift is only for eyebrows that have started to droop. While raising the brow is an important part of the procedure, it also improves several concerns that develop as the forehead and brow age.
A brow lift may help correct:
- Brows that have gradually descended over time
- Heavy or hooded upper eyelids caused by a low brow position
- Deep horizontal forehead wrinkles
- Frown lines between the eyebrows
- A tired, angry, or worried facial expression
- Mild brow asymmetry
Instead of simply tightening the skin, a brow lift repositions the underlying tissues to restore a smoother, more youthful contour.
Who Is a Good Candidate for a Brow Lift?
You may be a good candidate if you’ve noticed:
- Your eyebrows sit lower than they used to.
- Your upper eyelids appear heavy because your brows have descended.
- Forehead lines and frown lines have become more noticeable.
- People often ask whether you’re tired or upset when you feel perfectly fine.
- You’re in good overall health and have realistic expectations for surgery.
A consultation is the best way to determine whether your concerns stem from the brow, the eyelids, or both.
