With age the brows drop below the eye line and wrinkles appear on the forehead, those make us look angry, sad and tired all times. Brow lift is most popular among ages 40-60 and you can combine it with a facelift or eyelid surgery.

This method is modified for people with high forehead and retreat in the hairline. Then the cut is made in front of the hairline so that brow lift doesn't cause additional retreat.

Plastic Surgery News...
- The Drug and Therapeutics Bulletin (DTB) has reviewed the evidence on Versatis® (lidocaine plaster) for postherpetic neuralgia. It notes that the evidence suggesting greater pain relief than with placebo comes from very small, short-term studies, so little is known about efficacy and long-term safety of the treatment. In addition, it is not clear from the trial data whether there is breakthrough pain during the 12 hour plaster-free period as the plasters are applied for 12 hours in every 24. Furthermore, the plasters have not been compared with established, and less costly, treatments for postherpetic neuralgia. The authors therefore conclude that all these issues need to be resolved before this treatment can be recommended.
