The brow and forehead often show the first signs of aging. The skin begins to lose its elasticity. Sun, wind, natural expressions and the pull of gravity all have an effect, resulting in frown lines, wrinkling across the forehead and an increasing heaviness of the eyebrows. Your eyes may also look heavy and tired, as a sagging forehead can contribute to hooding in the upper eyelids.
This tired, angry or sad expression may not reflect how you actually feel. As a result, many people opt for a brow lift, also known as a forehead lift. It is often performed in conjunction with an upper eyelid lift — a blepharoplasty — to reduce excess eyelid skin. In other cases, where patients have always had a low brow, it is possible to improve their appearance with other procedures, such as Botox and fillers.
Mr Kamalarajah may also ask you to bring in photographs taken when you were younger, so that he can suggest the procedure or combination of procedures that will deliver the best and most natural results.
The primary aim is to achieve a natural rejuvenation — a youthful position and contour of the eyebrows, without the appearance of having had surgery or the surprised look that can come when eyebrows are reset too high on the forehead.
