Browplasty

Browplasty denotes plastic surgery on the eyebrows. A browplasty lifts eyebrows to rejuvenate the face. Aging causes the entire body to droop or gravitate downward. The brow is no exception. A browplasty depends on the sex of the patient. A female browplasty lifts the eyebrows to a naturally youthful position above the bony ridge of the eye socket. A male browplasty lifts the brows level to the bony ridge of the eye socket; lifting it any higher feminizes the face. A surgeon makes incisions in the hair-bearing scalp. A doctor releases the forehead skin from the deeper tissues and elevates it to a youthful position, keeping the facial balance and ethnic ideals of beauty of the patient in mind. Modern browplasties utilize an endoscope or small lens and camera system to lift the brows creating minimal hidden incisions in the scalp. Termed endoscopic brow lift or endoscopic browplasty, these procedures permit surgeons to deactivate muscles responsible for frowning through the same hidden incisions.
