Did you know that eyebrow position can influence how others perceive your emotions—even when you’re not actually feeling them? A low or furrowed brow can make you look angry, tired, or unapproachable, even when perfectly content.
And even more significantly, brow sagging can affect self-perception, making you feel less confident and dissatisfied with your appearance.
A brow lift may improve these concerns, but many worry about visible scars or an overdone appearance. That’s where the gliding brow lift may be an option.
Using this advanced technique, esteemed board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. David Bray, Jr. lifts and repositions the brow with smaller hidden incisions.
Dr. Bray’s patients benefit from his expertise in the latest plastic surgery techniques, including minimally invasive procedures that reduce scarring and speed up recovery. The gliding brow lift is a perfect example.
How the Gliding Brow Lift Works
The gliding brow lift is a modern approach that offers a more youthful brow without some of the telltale signs of surgery. While some traditional methods rely on larger incisions with significant skin removal, this technique uses smaller incisions with less skin removal.
Dr. Bray, Jr. injects local anesthetic beneath the forehead skin during a gliding brow lift.
He gently loosens the skin on the forehead, brows, and temples, separating it from the underlying muscles. Then, he expertly lifts and reshapes the skin, gliding it into an elevated position. Dr. Bray, Jr. secures the skin’s new position with a specialized suture technique called a hemostatic net. The skin then heals in the new position.
Benefits of the Gliding Brow Lift
Benefits may include:
- Refreshed, youthful look
- Hidden incisions and discreet scarring
- Reduced scar length compared to some traditional brow lift techniques
- May be performed under local anesthesia
A gliding brow lift may be ideal for patients concerned with mild sagging of the brows who want an improvement with smaller scars than some traditional brow lift techniques
