Difference Between a Facelift and Brow Lift

In general, a facelift addresses the lower-third of the face while a brow (forehead) lift treats the upper-third. Both procedures lift/reposition loose musculature, but a facelift also removes excess skin and fat deposits. Descended tissue in the upper face can cause drooping eyebrows and frown lines, sometimes creating the look of a permanently furrowed brow. Descended tissue in the lower face can cause a loss of contour around the cheeks as well as jowls along the jawline. A brow lift and facelift, respectively, can refresh the face and minimize these signs of age for a sleeker, smoother facial appearance. Combining both procedures can be the most powerful means of rejuvenation, as improvement will be seen over the entire face. 

There is a plethora of facial rejuvenation services available to renew aging skin and restore the youthful, vibrant aesthetic of previous years—both with and without the need for surgery.
