The effects of aging are inevitable, and often the eyes and forehead areas are the first to show signs. Frown lines appear with an increase in the heaviness of the eyebrows and the upper eyelid. Even people in their thirties may have faces that look older than their years. Recently, the technique of minimally invasive brow lift has revolutionized the surgery in this area. As opposed to the past, now only a few small incisions are need for optimal results. A good browlift decreases the need for a large resection during the blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery). This prevents the stigmata of a hollowness seen in years past.

Dr. Vargas has written and lectured extensively on the endoscopic (minimally invasive) brow lift, teaching the technique to other surgeons at national meetings. With a few hidden incisions in the hairline, the entire upper face, including the eyes, forehead and cheeks can be rejuvenated.
