Browlift

Two of the more prominent features of the face are the forehead and eyebrows. One can communicate many expressions by simply raising the eyebrows, or furrowing the forehead. Unfortunately, all this expression can leave deep wrinkles that worsen with age. In addition, the brow is under the constant influence of gravity inevitably causing drooping that can bunch up the skin of the upper eyelids. This gives a sleepy appearance even when we're wide awake!

The cosmetic surgeons at South Florida Plastic Surgery are helping patients in Naples, Fort Myers and all of southwest Florida deal with the effects of age and sun exposure on the forehead and eyebrows. Wrinkles can be improved and sometimes alleviated with Botox®. It can also be used to shape the eyebrows to give a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.

Droopy eyebrows that hang over the eyes usually require a surgical correction. The old fashioned way of doing this was to make a big incision across the top of the scalp through which everything was pulled tight. Fortunately, there is a new browlift technique which uses tiny incisions at the hairline to lift the eyebrows. This procedure, known as an endoscopic forehead lift, is being used to rejuvenate the foreheads of patients in Naples, Fort Myers and all over southwest Florida by the plastic surgeons at South Florida Plastic Surgery.

Dr. Eshbaugh and Dr. Gardner have added expertise in this brow lift procedure. Both doctors received advanced training in endoscopic surgery and have taught it to other doctors at national workshops. In addition, they have written on the subject in textbooks and medical journals.

The browlift operation takes one to two hours and is usually done with the patient asleep. Recovery takes one to two weeks. It is often combined with other operations such as eyelid lift and facelift to keep the entire face in harmony.

Call the plastic surgeons at South Florida Plastic Surgery and schedule a brow lift consultation to find out which of these excellent choices is right for you.
