BROWPEXY/ FOREHEAD - BROW LIFT
Please visit our Before
and After Images for actual patient photographs.
| Procedure
Objective: |
To lift the brow
/ forehead area in order to attain a more pleasing
eyebrow position. Lifting the eyebrows/forehead
can and usually does provide a secondary lift
to the eyelid area and as a result patients
achieve a smoother and “rested”
or relaxed look. One can research many options
available such as : Coronal, Endoscopic, Temporal,
Mid-Forehead, Direct, Supraciliary, Hairline,
Transpalpebral, Corrugator Muscle Excision,
Brow Bone Reduction, Brow Fixation. Ask your
Doctor what your options are and see what approach
would be best for you. Doctor Ortega also performs
the FeatherLift or Delta Techniques and has
had many years of success in this field using
a variety of techniques and approaches. FAMI,
or (Facial Autografting Muscle Injection System)
is a related procedure you may consider researching
as it may be of some benefit to a certain segment
of patients seeking facial rejuvenation. Secondary
procedures can also be performed simultaneously.
