A Forehead and Eyebrow Lift is a procedure for both men and women to bring a more youthful, refreshed and alert look to the area above the eyes. The result is an overall smoother forehead and a "friendlier" looking appearance. This procedure:

• Improves and lifts sagging and drooping eyebrows that can create a "hound dog" look
• Corrects hooding of the upper eyelids
• Opens eyes that have become smaller as the brow has settled, restoring a rested, refreshed look
• Diminishes horizontal lines and furrows across the forehead and just above the nose that may give an individual a sad, angry, tired or continually "intense" facial expression
• Helps those with furrows, crease lines or a low, heavy brow caused by stress, excessive muscle activity or hereditary factors
• Smoothes skin with "crows feet" characteristics

The appropriate technique - Peritrichial Face and Brow Lift, or the Endoscopic Forehead/Brow Lift-is determined by an overall balanced facial rejuvenation assessment. It may depend on a number of factors, which include the position of the eyebrows, amount of excess upper eyelid skin, height of the hairlines and whether the forehead is characteristically high or low. During either procedure, Dr. Geroulis alters the forehead muscles and underlying tissues that cause the furrowing or drooping effect, thereby minimizing forehead frown lines and lifting fallen eyebrows. With the Peritrichial Face and Brow Lift technique, excess skin may also be removed.

With the Endoscopic Forehead/Brow Lift technique, a special viewing instrument called an endoscope is inserted into tiny incisions in the scalp to provide magnified images of the body's internal structures. These incisions in the scalp are strategically placed so they cannot be seen. No hair is cut or shaved during this procedure. The technique can address specific areas of the face in an accurate manner, including the lateral brow and crows feet area The degree of pull of the skin and the aesthetics of the proper position of the eyebrows is the result of both a high level of skilled surgery and artistic experience. This phase is critical to achieving a natural looking appearance, where the eyebrows are slightly repositioned to their original site; the forehead is smoother; severe lines have been softened and the upper two thirds of the face appear refreshed and overall more youthful.

The advantages of the approach lie in the size and location of the incisions - small and discrete. The results are dramatic, natural and an overall a more refined and youthful facial appearance is gained.

One of the recent proven breakthroughs in facial rejuvenation today is the Tissue Glue Technique that has been developed by drawing on experience in various medical applications in Europe for the last decade.

This unique approach employed with the various strategic surgical techniques of face-lifting involves a high tech, medically designed, liquid tissue sealant developed specifically for bonding tissue. This highly innovative and specialized material is applied with the Tissue Glue Technique, resulting in minimal discomfort, less bruising and swelling than typical in the traditional-approach surgical procedures, as well as reducing recovery time by half, whilst achieving prolonged longevity in results.

This highly specialized Tissue Glue technique is applied to various facial procedures.
