Understanding Brow Lift: Combating Facial Aging

As individuals age, gravity and collagen loss significantly impact facial appearance, particularly around the eyebrows and upper eyelids. A brow lift is a specialized surgical procedure designed to address these age-related changes by lifting the skin and soft tissue in the forehead and eyebrow region, ultimately restoring a more youthful and rejuvenated look.

Benefits of Brow Lift Surgery

• Lift drooping eyebrows
• Remove sagging skin over eyes
• Smooth forehead and eyebrow lines
• Correct uneven eyebrow positioning

Brow Lift Procedure Options

Endoscopic Brow Lift

A minimally invasive technique involving multiple small incisions behind the hairline. Special endoscopic instruments are used to elevate brows and forehead skin with minimal scarring.

Pretrichial Brow Lift

A surgical approach focusing on reducing forehead and eyebrow sagging by making an incision along the hairline. Excess skin is carefully removed, and brows are elevated with a strategically beveled incision to encourage natural hair growth.

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect swelling for two to six weeks following the procedure, with bruising and soreness lasting approximately one week. Full recovery involves refraining from daily activities for at least a week, with stitches typically removed after 10 days.

Candidate Considerations

Ideal candidates for a brow lift are individuals in good overall health seeking to address aging signs in the eyebrow and forehead region. A personalized consultation with Dr. Claire Melancon will determine individual suitability for the procedure.
