A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, removes frown lines or deep vertical and horizontal wrinkles between the eyebrows and corrects droopy skin underneath the eyebrows. Excess tissue and skin are removed, muscles are tightened, and remaining skin repositioned to create an invigorated, more youthful and rested appearance. Brow lift surgery also helps to correct or lift what are called the "lateral hoods" of the eyes--the flap or deposit of fat that sits right on your brow bone and hangs around the outside corner of your eye. It should be noted that a brow/forehead lift will not improve wrinkles or puffiness around the eyes. It is meant to lift up the skin only. For these types of problems, you may want to discuss surgical and non-surgical wrinkle removing treatments (Botox Cosmetic® or eyelid surgery–blepharoplasty).
