A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is a surgical procedure that rejuvenates the upper face by correcting drooping brows and minimizing forehead wrinkles. At Donald R Collins, MD in Houston, this procedure is performed to help patients look more alert, refreshed and youthful.

Candidates for Brow Lift Surgery

Ideal candidates for a brow lift are typically between 40-60 years old and want to address visible signs of aging in the forehead region. The procedure can also benefit younger patients with inherited conditions like a heavy brow. Dr. Collins evaluates each patient individually to determine if a brow lift is the right option.

Brow Lift Techniques

Classic Brow Lift

The traditional method involves an incision from ear to ear hidden behind the hairline. Through this incision, the forehead skin is lifted and excess tissue is removed.

Endoscopic Brow Lift

This less invasive technique uses several small incisions and an endoscope to lift the brow and alter underlying tissues. Recovery time is typically shorter with the endoscopic approach.

Recovery After Brow Lift Surgery

Most patients return to work within 7-10 days after surgery. Swelling and bruising gradually subside over 2-3 weeks. Dr. Collins provides detailed post-operative instructions to ensure optimal healing and results.
