Elevate and Rejuvenate

When considering a brow lift in Charlottesville, VA, most patients have one major concern: they don’t want an over-lifted brow that leaves them with a surprised, unnatural look. When under the care of an experienced facial specialist, a brow lift can be transformative to a face.

How Does A Brow Lift Work?

There are many surgical approaches to the brow lift, and each modality has its strengths. Dr. Chance often performs endoscopic brow lifts, allowing her to rely on advanced technology to elevate and reshape the brow muscles minimally invasively. The type of brow lift in Charlottesville, VA that is best for you depends on the scope of correction needed and the particulars of your anatomy.
