As we age, sagging brows and forehead wrinkles can make us look tired or even unhappy. A brow lift is a surgical procedure that gently raises the brows to refresh your upper face. This procedure can be a great cosmetic solution for many people, but how do you know if it’s right for you?

Dr. Kelly R. Kunkel is a board-certified plastic surgeon with decades of experience serving patients in Fort Worth, Texas. His impressive background in plastic and facial reconstructive surgery makes him an excellent choice for anyone who is considering getting a brow lift.

Signs You Might Be a Candidate

Here are some signs that might mean you are a good candidate for a brow lift:

• Your brows are sagging or heavy, and they make you look tired, sad, or even angry.
• Deep forehead wrinkles or frown lines have started appearing, and they don’t seem to fade anymore with non-surgical treatments.
• You experience drooping that affects your vision and makes regular tasks more challenging.
• You’ve tried options like Botox or fillers but feel they haven’t given you the refreshed look you want.

You don’t need to be a specific age for a brow lift, but most candidates tend to be in their 40s to 60s. While this procedure is often associated with aging, younger people may still deal with hereditary sagging brows or persistent forehead lines that they want to fix. Whether you’re looking to address changes that appeared over time or tackle concerns you’ve always had, this procedure could be a good fit for you.

Potential Brow Lift Contraindications

Health issues that affect healing, such as uncontrolled diabetes, may make surgery more complicated. Smoking can also interfere with recovery, so you’ll need to pause if you’re a smoker. 

If your concerns are related to drooping eyelids or another specific issue, your surgeon might recommend a different procedure, like eyelid surgery.
