What is a Brow Lift?

A brow lift restores a more youthful, refreshed look to the area above the eyes, which is often one of the first areas to show signs of aging. Also called a forehead lift procedure is performed by Assoc. Dr. Fatih Irmak to correct drooping brows and reduce the horizontal lines and furrows that often appear in the forehead. During a brow lift, the muscles and tissues that cause the drooping or furrowing are removed or altered in order to smooth the forehead, raise the eyebrows, and minimize lines.

You may notice an itching or tingling sensation in the surgical area. This feeling is a result of the healing of the nerves in the area and will go away within several months of your procedure.
