While no one is immune to the effects of aging, a forehead lift, also known as a browlift, can minimize some of the most visible signs -drooping eyebrows, "hooding" over the eyes, forehead furrows and frown lines that come with age.

In a forehead lift, the muscles and skin that cause the problems are removed or altered to smooth the forehead, raise the upper eyelids and minimize frown lines. The result can be a more alert, more animated, more youthful appearance.

Recent advances in plastic surgery have made the forehead lift a relatively simple procedure with results that last from five to 10 years or longer. It can be done alone, or in conjunction with other procedures, such as facelift, eyelid surgery, or nose reshaping.

Dr. Barrera performs this procedure in his fully equipped operating suite. The patient is under light sedation and local anesthesia, and is allowed to return home the same day.

Please call Dr. Barrera for a consultation if you are considering having this type of surgery.
