Procedures

Browlift

In conjunction with a facelift, I often perform forehead surgery (forehead / frown procedure ) to elevate drooping brows, to give an open, alert upper eyelid, and to soften frown lines. Advances in forehead surgery include the use of mini incision endoscopic surgery, employment of "detection defying" hairline technique, and improved versions of the coronal technique. Because each approach has merit, the important issue is to match each patient with the technique that is best for him / her. A hairline incision approach works well if the patient has a high forehead with receding hair. When I use the hairline approach, I elevate the brows and bring the scalp hair forward. If the patient has a narrow forehead, I use the endoscopic procedure. Clearly, the "cookbook" technique has no place in the individuality of plastic surgery. My job is to select the correct technique for each individual patient to ensure the desired results.
