Browlift (Forehead Lift)

The brow and forehead are often the first areas to show signs of aging.  Loss of skin elasticity, exposure to sun and overactive frown and forehead muscles all play a part in the aging process, resulting in frown lines, forehead wrinkles and heaviness of the eyebrows.  Dr. Emanuele, the experienced plastic surgeon and medical director of East End Plastic Surgery & Laser Center on Long Island, has performed many successful facial cosmetic surgeries, including browlifts, and will work with you to achieve the refreshed, more youthful appearance you deserve.

A browlift can revitalize the appearance of the upper eye and brow area, bringing the eyes into focus and making the face look less angry, sad or tired. If the brows have begun to sag too much, it is not only a patient’s self confidence that can suffer -- peripheral vision is often affected as well. If drooping brows are left untreated, this cosmetic issue may also become a functional one.

With the use of small incisions, Dr. Emanuele tones the brow muscles for the dramatic, naturally rested and bright eyed appearance non-surgical methods cannot achieve. After surgery by Dr. Emanuele most patients look amazingly younger.

A browlift is an excellent alternative to BOTOX^®, providing more permanent results. A browlift can be combined with an eyelift (blepharoplasty) if patient’s upper and lower eyelids have begun to sag, as well, or with a facelift, if general skin laxity on the face is also an issue. Necklifts are also a popular complement to this procedure.
