Does a Brow Lift Look Natural?

Believe it or not, some people don’t want their plastic surgery results to look natural; they want dramatic new faces that help them stand out from the crowd.

If you’re looking for a change that makes you look younger but as natural-looking as the old you, here’s the key — it’s all about the surgeon.

If you’re in the market for a brow lift, you’re in the market for a surgeon who has studied extensively and been in practice for many years performing this procedure with excellent results. 

In Chesterfield and O’Fallon, Missouri, that’s Robert Cristel, MD, FACS, at Synergi Facial Surgery. Here, he explains the brow lift procedure and how to ensure yours looks natural.

01

What to think about when considering a brow lift

Whether you call it a brow lift or a forehead lift, this surgical procedure elevates your eyebrows and smooths out wrinkles on your forehead, creating a more youthful and refreshed appearance. The procedure involves making small incisions along the hairline or within the scalp to lift the underlying tissues and reduce excess skin.

Risks of inexperienced surgeons

Like any surgical procedure, a brow lift carries potential risks, including infection, scarring, and asymmetry. An inexperienced surgeon increases these risks. An unskilled surgeon may remove too much skin or lift your brows too high, resulting in an unnatural, surprised look.

Importance of choosing a skilled surgeon

Choosing a highly skilled and experienced surgeon can significantly reduce your medical and aesthetic risks. A well-trained surgeon like Dr. Cristel understands the intricacies of facial anatomy and can tailor your brow lift to suit your unique features, ensuring a natural-looking result.

An expertly performed brow lift can rejuvenate your appearance without altering your fundamental look. It can lift your brows to a more youthful position and smooth out wrinkles, all while maintaining the natural expression of your face.

How to choose your brow lift surgeon

When choosing a surgeon for your brow lift, consider factors such as their credentials and experience. A board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in facial procedures is an excellent choice.

Credentials

Dr. Cristel is double board-certified and specializes in facial plastic surgery. His intimate knowledge of facial anatomy and the inner structures that work together to form your unique features enables him to make precise adjustments with confidence in the results.

In addition, Dr. Cristel has published over 30 journal articles and book chapters on cosmetic and reconstructive facial plastic surgery. 

Technology

Modern plastic surgery procedures call for precision, accuracy, and microscopic adjustments that the human hand can’t always accomplish. Dr. Cristel uses laser technology and other advanced tools to ensure you walk away with the results you’re expecting. Laser resurfacing can help smooth the forehead as a finishing touch after a brow lift.
