As we age, our facial skin can make us look older than we feel. Drooping brows and forehead wrinkles can give an appearance of sadness, fatigue, or grumpiness. A brow lift, also called a forehead lift, can help restore a more youthful and refreshed look to the upper face.

Dr. Taylor Theunissen, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Baton Rouge, performs brow lift surgery to:

• Reduce wrinkles and lines across the forehead
• Improve frown lines between the eyebrows
• Lift sagging brows that may be hooding the upper eyelids

Patients may benefit from a brow lift alone or in combination with other facial procedures like eyelid surgery, facelift, or neck lift for more comprehensive rejuvenation.

Brow Lift Surgical Technique

Dr. Theunissen uses different brow lift techniques depending on the patient's needs:

• Classic incisions in the upper eyelid crease
• Coronal incision from ear to ear within the hairline
• Endoscopic brow lift using smaller incisions for minimal scarring

The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia and takes about 2 hours.

Recovery After Brow Lift Surgery

Some swelling and bruising is normal after a brow lift. Most patients can return to normal activities within a week. Final results appear over a few months as swelling resolves. Patients enjoy a more youthful, refreshed appearance.
