Question:
I have always had a severe brow line, and as I’ve gotten older it has only worsened. How would a forehead lift help me?
Answer:
If you are talking about the horizontal lines that are present in your forehead there are really a few ways to help smooth out these lines. Botox or Dysport injections can relax the frontalis muscle and this will help to smooth out these forehead lines. A formal brow lift will also smooth out the lines but, only partially as these lines are a combination of relaxed skin, hyperactivity of the forehead musculature, and skin damage. A combination of treatments may be necessary to adequately treat these forehead lines appropriately.
