As the Forehead ages
In Youth, Foreheads are basically unremarkable. In a younger person a forehead may be high, but this flaw, which is
not accepted in the older individual, is a simple variant of beauty
in the younger woman.
With animation and time, the face starts to acquire its
message of experience and age.
- Lines form as a direct result of muscle pull.
- The frontalis muscle imparts the horizontal muscle creases and
- The corrugator muscles imprint frown lines between the eyes,
- Causing the furrow between the eyes at the eyebrow level.
Glabellar wrinkling
is preceded by hypertrophy and bulging of the muscle bellies, even
before there is any hint of creasing. The muscles of the eyes as well
as those just above the eyebrows enlarge to do their work of expressing
surprise and consternation. The original blank forehead of youth begins
to be filled in. Photo aging blotches the skin and leaves texture irregularities.
Muscle relaxing injections
As the result of facial expression and movement of the skin tiny lines appear on the forehead with further activity permanent frown lines develop.
Weakening of the muscles can improve or eliminate these frown lines. When intervention with muscle relaxing injections of botulism (Btx) occurs early progress to permanent lines is slowed but most importantly a natural expressiveness is maintained.
Btx injections to the lower brow area can create a raised eyebrow creating a natural wider eyed appearance. Individuals can choose between a horizontal flared or arched appearance.
The Forehead Brow Lift
Brow lift (forehead lift) is a plastic surgery
procedure which I have been performing for nearly 20 years. However
over the last 5 I have performed it with minimal scars and a procedure
utilising endoscopic techniques. Using small TV cameras and specially
designed instruments I will raise your eyebrows to a higher and more
aesthetic position. It will also improve lateral hoods (which are
the droopy flaps of skin that hang over the outside corner of your
eyes. Plastic surgery of your forehead will also soften your horizontal
forehead wrinkles and the scowl lines between your eyebrows.
A brow lift will NOT improve baggy eyelids, puffy eyes, or crows feet.
Surgery to the eyelids ( Blepharoplasty) is often combined with brow
re shaping. Additionally "Muscle Relaxing Injections" can
be all that is required particularly in ones early years.
For your additional interest and understanding: Aesthetic surgery
can reverse the effects of aging and assist in redefining the contours
of the face. New technology means there are now many of what Dr. Dixon
calls his 'little pearls'; low-risk procedures which are very simple
and designed to give a greatly improved result. Advanced skin care,
skin resurfacing, collagen injections and "Muscle Relaxing Injections"
are but a few of these 'little pearls.'
Surgical restoration also remains popular, as an effective way of
regaining a younger face's eternal appeal.
