Dr. Michael McCracken and the team at McCracken Eye and Face Institute understand that our patients want to look and feel their best.

Dr. McCracken can perform brow lift, also known as forehead lift, to elevate the brows and restore a youthful, rested appearance to the eyes. When brow lift is performed correctly, the brows sit in a youthful position on the orbital bone above the eye, and the forehead skin is smoothed.
