Cosmetic Surgeries for the Seasons
Nearly everyone has heard of the facelift, a cosmetic surgery procedure designed to help individuals look younger. However, they may be surprised to learn that it cannot take care of every aging concern on the face and that other procedures may also be needed to get the best results and to meet the individual’s facial goals. One procedure that is often added on to a facelift is the brow lift. The brow lift actually targets a totally different area than the facelift does and can help to provide a more well-rounded anti-aging look after the treated areas heal. Here are the key differences that individuals should be aware of between the facelift and the brow lift.
Facelifts Work on the Mid to Lower Face
During a facelift surgery, the surgeon will make incisions around the hairline starting near the temples. Depending on the type of facelift being performed and on the amount of lifting that needs to occur, these incisions may only extend around the ears or may reach even further down the hairline. Using these incisions, the surgeon will tighten underlying muscles and remove extra tissues in the cheeks, chin, and jowls. This procedure is particularly effective for correcting deep lines between the nose and mouth and for reducing double chins.
Brow Lifts Target the Forehead and Eyes
Those who have static lines and wrinkles higher on their faces should instead consider the brow lift. This procedure uses incisions placed higher in the hairline to address horizontal wrinkles across the forehead as well as wrinkles and drooping skin around the eyes. This can give individuals a wider-eyed look and can even help them look more awake and more pleasant.
These two procedures target totally different areas of the face but can be combined for a gorgeous full-face effect. Both are most appropriate for individuals between the ages of 40 to 60. At OC Cosmetic Surgery Clinique in Newport Beach, Dr. Tavoussi works with each patient to help the individual decide what would be best for his or her needs. Both the facelift and the brow lift can also be combined with other invasive or minimally invasive techniques, such as the eye lift or facial contouring, to create even better effects. Dr. Tavoussi has a wonderful eye for seeing and appreciating the artistry of the face and for producing gorgeous, natural-looking results.
