I would say that this has to be one of the dumbest threads I’ve ever started anywhere, on any topic, except that it’s possible that I’m trying to make myself feel better. That could be. 😉 Motor nerves were severed in my forehead from a car accident as a teenager, and I have no lines at all there or probably ever will. Almost no movement, either. It’s like natural Botox. Anyway, I was looking at one of those “awful plastic surgery disaster” websites, and every single photograph which involved anybody with a brow lift looked horrible. Maybe that’s why I noticed. Okay, that’s what you’d expect… But then it occurred me that I’d never seen a picture of _anyone_ who’d had a brow lift who actually looked good or even halfway natural. I’ve actually known a couple of people slightly who I know for a fact have had those lifts done, and they did not look good. Everyone seems to end up with eyebrows halfway to their hairline. Has anyone EVER had a brow lift done that didn’t end up looking bizarre?? ---

Browsing through before/after pictures [here](http://www.locateadoc.com/pictures/cosmetic-surgery/brow-lift-forehead-lift.html), it looks like it can be done! Some of the people look worse, but many definitely are improved. ---

Mmm, I don’t really see any from that link who look so much better after. And many who look very surprised indeed. ---

Of course they can look good. The ones you notice are the bad ones. Good plastic surgery give you the “Something is different, they look great” feeling but you can’t put your finger on why ---
