What is a Brow Lift?

The forehead lift, also known as the brow lift, is a relatively simple procedure that can be customized to your needs to improve a sagging brow, forehead creases, hooding over the eyes, and forehead furrows and frown lines. The minimally-invasive endoscopic forehead lift is a commonly used technique today. It can help to maximize the youthfulness of your appearance while brightening up your face and outlook on life.


Who are the best candidates for a Brow Lift?

If you are in good general health and have realistic expectations for improving aging signs in the forehead, the forehead lift may be right for you. Brow lift patients are typically looking to improve sagging eyebrows, forehead creases or furrows, hooding above the eyes, and/or frown lines. Botox may be a good alternative for some patients that can help postpone surgery. During the consultation, our expert surgeons will examine your areas of concern and discuss your goals to help determine if the forehead lift is the right procedure for you.


What are the Benefits of a Brow Lift?

Dr. Smith has seen his patients benefit from a Brow Lift in the following ways:

  • Diminishes Forehead lines
  • Eliminates the Tired or Angry Look
  • Opens up your Eyes
  • Provides Long-Lasting Effects
  • Reduces sagging in Upper Eyelids
  • Removes excess skin
  • Restores the natural arch in your Eyebrows

During this appointment, you will be able to discuss any questions or concerns you have about a Brow Lift and get a realistic approach to gaining your aesthetic goals.


Brow Lift Surgery

General anesthesia or a combination of local anesthesia and sedation may be used for the forehead lift. The surgery takes just one to two hours to complete in most cases. The endoscopic technique is commonly used today, and this is performed through three to five very short incisions located within the hairline. A small camera device known as an endoscope is then inserted through the incisions and used as an aid to help the surgeon remove excess tissue and alter the forehead muscles.

The eyebrows may also be elevated before closing the incisions with fine sutures. A longer, headphone-like incision is made across the top of the head just within the hairline for the traditional forehead lift. This allows for the removal of excess skin if needed.


Brow Lift Recovery

Following brow lift surgery, patients can expect some degree of swelling, bruising, and numbness. Bruising and swelling typically take one to two weeks to resolve, while the swelling may take a week or so to fade. Any discomfort that patients experience can be managed with medication. Bandages applied after surgery are typically removed within a day or two, while sutures may be removed within one to two weeks.

Brow Lift FAQs

Can a Brow Lift be combined with any other procedures?

Absolutely! Many of our patients elect to combine their Brow Lift with other facial procedures such as eyelid surgery or a Facelift. Please discuss this with Dr. Smith during your consultation if you feel you would benefit from additional surgery.

How long will the results last?

While the Brow Lift results will last for years, time and gravity will eventually take effect, and your skin may begin to droop again.

Will the surgery have scars?

There will be some scarring, as with any invasive surgical procedure, yet they will fade over time. Additionally, Dr. Smith uses his years of experience and skill to ensure that the scars are well hidden in the hairline or natural creases around your eyelid.
