Brow lift candidates
You may be a candidate for brow lift surgery if you:
- Are physically healthy
- Nonsmoker
- Have a realistic outlook and good goals
As we age, fine wrinkle lines may appear on the forehead. Frown lines between the brows can make us look angry, even when we are not. Skin relaxation may cause the eyebrows to drop, making us look tired. If you’re bothered by these signs of aging, a brow lift may be right for you.
