All eyes have been focused lately on Julie Chen, co-host of CBS’s The Talk, who has had to defend her decision to have facial plastic surgery earlier in her career.

Cosmetic injections, or dermal fillers, have become a more mainstream approach to aesthetic beauty over recent years. The procedure can be performed alone or alongside other procedures, both surgical and non-surgical.

A cosmetic surgery that treats the upper-third of the face is called the brow lift, or forehead lift. Typically, this area of the face shows obvious signs of a person’s years due to the expressiveness of the eyes and forehead.

The procedure is designed to smooth the skin of the brow, lessen the look of lines and wrinkles of the forehead, and perhaps most importantly, raise the eyebrows.

Skin cancer is a growing health concern in the United States, and it is often the result of unprotected skin exposed to the sun’s ultraviolet radiation, also known as UVA and UVB rays. In places like Newport Beach, California, where there is a lower chance of cloud cover and a temperate climate that is ideal for outdoor activities, people may be more susceptible to sun damage. In addition to the overexposure of sun, it has also become fashionable to sport sun-kissed skin, so the lack of sunscreen may be intentional.

More recently, the use of sunscreen has become more than just a suggestion; there has been extensive research that links a high exposure of UVA and UVB rays to skin cancer.
