Brow Lift
As we age, our facial muscles weaken and the skin on our forehead begins to sag, resulting in a heavy and tired appearance. Additionally, constant facial expressions, like frowning or raising our eyebrows, can lead to deep wrinkles and lines on our forehead. A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is a cosmetic procedure that can address these issues by lifting and tightening the skin and muscles of the forehead and brow area, resulting in a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
