Kiss those facelift scars goodbye

Mumbai: Ageing is inevitable, but the process can be slowed and the signs, well, can be reduced to a great extent thanks to the treatments available. The brow and face lifts are one of the most common treatments used to reduce the appearance of fine lines, but the downside of it is, the scars it leaves behind, which is usually around the scalp and around the ears. Endoscopic or key hole brow and face lift is the answer to getting a smoother face without any of those dreaded scars.

The procedure is quite simple and the recovery time is rather quick, considering it is a day-long procedure. There is no bruising, swelling and barely any redness afterwards. A tiny incision is made behind the hairline into which a camera is inserted. The incision is just enough to modify the facial soft tissue to reposition them to give a more youthful appearance. In its older counterpart, the incision were made either on the forehead or over the eyelid, depending on where it was required. The lift reverses the effects of gravity and tightens the soft tissues of the forehead to restore a more youthful contour to the forehead skin, upper eyelids and eyebrows. It lifts drooping eyebrows, eyelids and the nose while removing frown lines by tightening the underlying muscles and tissue.

As one ages, it is common for the brow to assume a flat or horizontal position. If a sagging brow inhibits your facial expression, a brow lift is a time-tested method for rejuvenating the upper third of your face. By raising the brow the whole face is brightened and it can be performed alone or in conjunction with upper eyelid surgery. It isn’t just the droopy eyes that can be corrected; you can also correct the horizontal lines on the forehead and eliminate the perpetual haggard expression and convert it into a more youthful, fresher and calmer appearance.
