Why Lisoom

Overview Endoscopic Brow Lift: Lifting Drooping Brows and the Forehead for a Brighter, More Open Look

As aging progresses, the skin of the forehead and around the eyes becomes thinner, wrinkles deepen with repeated use of the facial expression muscles, and the supporting structures that hold the area around the eyes in place loosen, causing the brows and eyelids to droop.
The lower the brows droop, the shorter the distance between the eyes and brows becomes, creating a heavy look.
A forehead and brow lift is a surgery that raises brows and eyelids that have drooped with age and smooths forehead wrinkles, turning a heavy look into a brighter, more open one.

The key to an endoscopic brow lift is lifting drooping brows and the forehead to turn a heavy look into a brighter, more open one.

How the Surgery Works

The four muscles that pull the brows down (the corrugator supercilii, the depressor supercilii (DSM), the procerus, and the medial portion of the orbicularis oculi) are released, and the structures that anchor the forehead skin to the brow bone (periosteum and ligaments) are dissected, so that the forehead lifts naturally through the pull of the muscle that raises it (the frontalis).
