If you have noticed that you are looking older, more stressed out or tired than you feel recently, it may be time to consider a facial procedure. If you are finding it more difficult to recognize the person looking back at you in the mirror, there are solutions to giving your face a more youthful look. There are procedures that can help to get rid of the lines in your forehead or the droopy and puffy eyelids that make you look much older than you are.
There are different solutions available to get rid of the tired looking face and you can end up looking more fresh and youthful. Surgical procedures have become more popular over the years as people look for ways to dial back the hands of times. To get the look that you want, you can consider surgery on your eyelids or brow. If you are not sure about the option that will do you most good, it is a good idea to find out all you can about the two procedures.
Understanding the procedures
Most people find it difficult to choose between an eyelid lift and a brow lift. The major reason for the confusion is because of the position of the brow. The facial structure will determine the suitability of the procedure and this means that two people can end up getting different procedures to achieve the same objective. The position of the brow can affect the eyelid’s appearance, which means that you can think that you need one procedure when you really need the other. In some cases, both procedures may be necessary. Talking to the surgeon during consultation will help you to make the right decision.
Choosing a brow lift
If your main issue is a creased forehead or wrinkles, you should consider a brow lift. Brow lifts help to improve the position and look of the brow by smoothing out wrinkles. This means that you end up with a forehead that looks more youthful. A brow lift can also help if your eyelids look heavy. This is usually caused by the sagging brows. This means that you can correct the tired looking appearance with a brow lift. Most patients are confused because they are not sure which procedure addressees this issue.
Choosing an eyelid lift
An eyelid lift (blepharoplasty) is a procedure that helps to lift the eyebrows. This procedure will give you the wide-eyed appearance that characterizes youth. An eyelid lift focuses only on the eyelids and it can be performed on the lower or upper lids or on both. During the eyelid lift, the surgeon removes excess skin and fat from the lids. This makes the lids less puffy and droopy and when it is a lower lid lift, the procedure helps to smooth out wrinkles or bags that appear below the eyes. It is important to know that the procedure does not completely remove dark circles and it does not treat “crow’s feet”.
If you want to eliminate the sad and tired look, it may be necessary to get both procedures. The eyelids and the forehead are often affected by the natural aging process and the two procedures can complement each other perfectly. Contact us to achieve a youthful face and enjoy better self-esteem!
