Your eyes, eyebrows and forehead play a significant role in your facial expressions. Whether you are lighting up the room with a smile that reaches your eyes or releasing a glare that puts everyone on notice, there is a major emotional connection to your upper face. When time changes the firmness of the skin and the elevation of the brows, you may be relaying emotions that you do not feel, and showing your age. To obtain a more pleasant resting face and youthful appearance, consider the benefits of a combined brow and eye lift procedure.
Resting “Grumpy” Face
One of the effects of aging on the face is a change in your emotional appearance. On the forehead, worry and frown lines can appear that give you an angry appearance even when you feel happy and content. The eyebrows can also descend and hover over the eyes, losing the youthful brow look.
On the eyelids, loose and sagging skin can make the eyes look tired, lazy or sad. Droopy upper eyelids and bags under eyes all drastically change the expression on your face when it is at rest. If you are constantly being asked what is wrong, you may have a resting grumpy face that is making you look older and unhappy.
Rejuvenating Your Eyes and Brows
Brow and eyelid lifts are ideal to be performed at the same time. The two areas are connected and often those who have sagging skin or lines in one area will also have it in the other. Starting with the brow lift, excess skin can be removed and the forehead tightened to smooth away those frown and worry lines. The eyebrows can be gently elevated to a more youthful appearance, opening the eyes below.
Eyelid lifts, or blepharoplasty, can be performed on the upper or lower eyelids or both. This can refresh the eyes, removing droopy upper eyelids that look sad or undereye bags that create an older, tired appearance. When performed with a brow lift, you receive a complete upper face rejuvenation for a more youthful, enthusiastic and happy expression.
