Age can affect almost every area of the face, and the brows are no exception. With age, your forehead can begin to appear heavier and start to sag. This can cause you to appear older, more tired, and even upset.
Brow Lift
Lifting the Brows & Lifting Your Confidence
Oculofacial plastic surgeon Dr. Caroline Vargason can perform a brow lift in Boise to help improve the appearance of your eyebrows and forehead. This procedure is best if you have a low or sagging brow or have noticed asymmetry. Dr. Vargason specializes in treating the areas of the face surrounding the eyes and can personalize your treatment to best suit your unique needs.
What Is a Brow Lift?
A brow lift is a surgical procedure that can enhance your eyebrows and the forehead. Age can cause your brows to shift, pushing them further down. This is coupled with a loss of skin elasticity that can cause the eyebrows to move closer to the eyelashes.
A brow lift can target these areas and help you achieve a more refreshed and youthful appearance.
