Scottsdale – I like the lateral brow lift technique and have used it for many years. This procedure is simple compared to other techniques available and is used by many well-respected plastic surgeons.

The lateral brow tends to sag as we age. Sagging in this area is quite troublesome as it forces the eyelid skin to bunch up creating fine lines and wrinkles. The eyelids may appear heavy and droopy because the brows become saggy. The lateral browlift is able to reposition the most troublesome part of the eyebrow, which is always the lateral portion.

I like the lateral brow lift because it is known to have very low complications and keeps the surgery above the plane of the facial nerve. The procedure is done in the subcutaneous plane and can be done completely under local anesthesia, if necessary. The incision does not have to go all the way across the hairline. In fact, I perform a mini-incision lateral brow lift that is effective at repositioning the droopy eyebrow.

There are many options available for rejuvenation of the face and eyebrows. The lateral brow lift is a very trustworthy option offered at the AB Guerra Plastic Surgery Center.
