Cosmetic Surgery Enquiry

The main reasons that drive people to seek brow lift surgeries are age and unhappiness with how their brow looks.

For whatever reason the surgery can provide you with a long awaited solution, and if you are interested in pursuing the procedure, you may be asking yourself whether you are suitable for the treatment. This article aims to shed some light on that question, so read on!

Will a brow lift work for me?

If you find that are unhappy with your brow for any of the following reasons, then chances are you can benefit from some form of brow lift surgery.

  • Wrinkling of the brow, forehead, or temples.
  • Creases or long wrinkles across the forehead.
  • Sagging brow line that alters your appearance.
  • Furrows, also often referred to as frown lines, around the brow line but most often between the eyebrows.
  • Asymmetry (unevenness) of your eyebrows.

What are the criteria I need to meet to be eligible for a brow lift surgery?

Fortunately outside of being able to afford the surgery, there are few requirements you need to meet before your surgeon will consider you for a cosmetic surgery. These basically revolve around your general health, both physical and mental. Your surgeon will, during an initial consultation, establish whether your reasons for the brow lift surgery are healthy, and that you don't suffer from any psychological issues that are driving you to have the surgery. He or she will also look into your physical health and make sure that you don't have a history of allergies to any anaesthetics, heart disease, or other serious chronic conditions like diabetes for example. Some surgeons will also inquire about your lifestyle and habits, and decide whether you are suitable for the surgery or not based on whether you smoke or drink alcohol.

Is there an age limit on having a brow lift surgery?

he age group that most often seek brow lift surgeries are 40-60 year olds, as these people are old enough to start suffering from the effects of wrinkling etc. that is a part of aging, and yet young enough to be physically fit enough to undergo the surgery. Of course many people beyond this age range seek the surgery, younger people suffering from premature furrows and frown lines or from an inherited brow shape they don't like often opt for the surgery, and older people healthy enough to undergo a cosmetic surgery often do so as well. There is no limit on the age of people seeking the surgery as other criteria, namely health, are broadly considered more important.
