Benefits of Getting a Brow Lift
Getting a brow lift is a great way to improve your appearance and make you look younger. The first benefit of a brow lift is that it makes you appear more cheerful, happy and upbeat. A sagging forehead and wrinkle lines will make you look tired, depressed, stressed out and even upset or irritated. Getting a brow lift will make your face reflect your inner feelings and will make your smile shine. People will feel more comfortable around you. Another benefit is that it makes you look younger. Brow lifts are a great anti-aging procedure. They will remove creases and wrinkles from your forehead. This will give you a more youthful look. A brow lift can also help you improve your vision. Drooping foreheads, eyebrows and eyelids can impair your eyesight but can be fixed with a brow lift. A brow lift will make you feel better about yourself and improve your self-confidence. It can reduce tension in your forehead muscles. It can help improve the placement of your eyebrows. The results last for a long time. Brow lifts can be combined with other surgical procedures. For example, you can do a brow lift and an eyelid lift at the same time. In addition, brow lifts can be customized according to your needs. Endoscopic and mini-lifts are also an option, besides full brow lifts.

Read MoreThe Most Important Tummy Tuck Benefit Post-Pregnancy
For many women who recently had a child, they often seek out plastic surgery in the form of a tummy tuck in order to get their pre-pregnancy stomach back. However, a tummy tuck post-pregnancy doesn’t just make you look great, it can actually have a crucial medical benefit to your mid-section. Although you are bringing a new life into the world, pregnancy can be hard on the body. Primarily it wrecks havoc on your rectus abdominis muscles, otherwise known as your “six-pack.” In order to make room for your growing fetus, the abdominal muscles that were running up and down right alongside each other need to spread. They stretch on a fibrous seam in between them to varying degrees and stay that way until the pregnancy ends. For women with long torsos and who put on very little weight during a pregnancy, the results of this stretch are less dramatic. However, for women with shorter torsos, the stretch of the seam can be dramatic, and the worst part is that it can stay that way. Unfortunately for these women, no amount of sit-ups will help these muscles move back into place. The only options are to wait a long period of time for them to re-tighten or speed up the process with a tummy tuck. While this may still seem purely cosmetic, what many forget is that for muscles to function properly, they need to be in the correct position. When abdominal muscles are spread in such a way, it can undermine your core strength. When the abdominal muscles are separated, you may have side effects including: Loss of core strength Lower energy levels Less endurance for workouts Lower back pain During tummy tuck procedures, your abdominal muscles are rounded up and put back into proper place. This not only makes your stomach look flatter and more firm, but it will often result in a better quality of life. If nothing else, consider the benefit of having more energy and better core strength and endurance. Wouldn’t all of those benefits really help you with an infant around the house? If you have given birth recently or even a few years ago and wish your mid-section looked the way it used to, contact us today. Many believe cosmetic surgery is just purely for aesthetics, but it can not only help you feel more confident, but it can help your body function better in many...
Read MoreSigns You May Need a Brow Lift
What is a Brow Lift? A brow lift, or forehead lift, is a procedure to tighten and tone the sagging skin of the forehead, eyebrows, and upper eyelids. This results in a smoothing of the skin and a reduction of any fine lines and wrinkles that have formed over the years. Deep creases and wrinkles in the skin of the forehead can appear as early as your mid-30s and, combined with other signs of aging such as sagging skin around the eyebrows can leave result in you looking much older than you feel. Is a Brow Lift the Right Choice? A brow lift may be the right choice for you if you have noticed an increase in fine lines and wrinkles across your forehead. It should also be a consideration if the brow line itself has begun to sag or your eyes appear ‘tired’ due to puffy or heavy eyelids. If this sounds like you, then a brow lift may be the ideal option. While sagging eyelids are often addressed by a separate procedure call an eyelid lift (blepharoplasty), it’s possible that a brow lift will improve the appearance of sagging eyelids by lifting the skin enough that blepharoplasty becomes unnecessary. Brow lifts are less invasive than full facelifts, leaving you with less recovery time and a more relaxed, youthful appearance. Since the brow line is not specifically addressed during other facial rejuvenation procedures like facelifts, and nonsurgical options are unlikely to restore the youthful, alert appearance of your face, a separate brow lift may be the best option for you. Even when performed completely on its own, a brow lift will help restore your face to a smoother, younger look by opening your expressions and giving you a forehead that compliments your other facial features. If you’re unhappy with the appearance of your forehead, brow line, or eyelids and think that a brow lift may be the right option for you, contact us at West Maple Plastic Surgery...
