Portland, ME, February 18, 2015: Owner and Founder of The Plastic Surgery Center, Dr. Verne Weisberg posted a new blog on his website entitled, “The Eyebrow’s Connected to The Forehead” explaining the difference between blepharoplasty and forehead lift surgical procedures.

Dr. Weisberg writes, “As age slowly makes its appearance into the face, it often shows up first in the eye region. Frown lines, the “elevens”, and drooping eyes can make a face look tired, angry or sad. As a result many people schedule a consultant with plastic surgeons thinking they want an eyelift or an eyebrow lift, when very often all that may be required is a forehead lift.” He continues, saying “Very often, though not always, the two procedures are done together resulting in a vibrant, refreshed youthful look.”

“Eyelift surgery is commonly done to correct eyes that droop and interfere with the vision,” writes Weisberg, adding, “Some people are born with droopy eyelids or develop a disease that causes eyelid drooping. And, of course, droopy eyelids do occur as a result of aging.”

Weisberg elaborates on the procedure telling where the incisions are made and emphasizing that,“Eyelift surgery does not remove crow’s feet or wrinkles between the eyebrows.” According to Weisberg, “A forehead lift procedure is done to correct the effects of aging due to muscle relaxation in the forehead, facial expressions and exposure to wind and sun.” In addition to briefly mentioning two different procedures, Weisberg writes, “Typically a forehead surgical procedure lifts the eyebrows and removes wrinkles and lines in the forehead.”
