When nonsurgical cosmetic treatments like injectables and laser treatments no longer seem to provide the same level of results they used to, you might consider getting a brow lift or facelift. While these procedures do have similarities, the right choice of facial rejuvenation procedure for you will depend on your specific goals.
If you’re having trouble distinguishing the difference between a brow lift vs. a facelift, take a look at this quick guide explaining these two popular facial procedures.
When to Consider a Facelift
A facelift primarily addresses concerns in the lower half of your face, such as jowls, lines and wrinkles around your mouth and other signs of sagging skin and aging near your mid-to-lower face.*
In some cases, facial liposuction can be added to your facelift to help improve the appearance of a double chin, which is often caused by excess fat deposits under the chin.If you’d like to achieve a better contoured neck, a facelift can also be combined with a neck lift.*
When to Consider a Brow Lift
As the name suggests, a brow lift helps to diminish signs of aging through the forehead and eye area. While you might see some improvement in drooping upper eyelids through a brow lift, this procedure is often combined with an eyelid lift for a more dramatic improvement.*
There are two main brow lift techniques: the traditional open brow lift and newer, less invasiveendoscopic brow lift.
What about a Brow Lift/Facelift Combo?
If you’re having trouble deciding between a brow lift and a facelift because you feel that both your brow and your lower face are trouble spots, talk to your plastic surgeon about combining these two procedures.
