Foreheadplasty (Brow Lift)

The forehead-eyebrow area is probably the most important single feature in facial expression. When the brow is contracted and depressed medially, an angry threatening look results. When the lateral brow is depressed and fullness ensues in the upper eyelid, the eyes develop a tired, sad expression.

Foreheadplasty is the appropriate treatment for eyebrow descent. Only when the eyebrows have been restored to the appropriate position can a decision be made about the amount of excess skin in the upper lid and the need for blepharoplasty.
