Eyebrow Lift
Eyebrow lift surgery is a cosmetic procedure to raise the eyebrows to their youthful position.
As we age the collagen and elastin ligaments of the skin reduce making the skin loose simultaneously soft tissue volume loss along with gravity brings the skin of the forehead and the eyebrows downwards.
The eyebrow descends downwards with age and gives the eyes a tired and unhappy look. They also result in the heaviness of the upper eyelid. The outer part of the eyebrow hangs down more than the inner part.
The surgery is done through an eyelid incision or through an incision placed in the scalp behind the hairline. Both the incisions are well hidden.
At Kalpana Aesthetics we evaluate the entire face as a whole and suggest the best customized treatment plan for you.
