Brow Lift West Des Moines, IA | Cody A. Koch, MD, PhD

Understanding Brow Lift Surgery

The effects of aging are inevitable, and often, the brow and forehead areas show the first signs. Environmental factors, combined with gravity and time, result in frown lines, forehead wrinkling, and increasing heaviness of the eyebrows and upper eyelids. This can create an unintended angry or sad appearance that does not reflect your internal vitality.

Brow Lift Benefits

• Elevates drooping brows
• Smoothes horizontal forehead lines and furrows
• Restores a calm, youthful appearance to the upper face

Procedure Details

Most brow lift procedures are performed in an outpatient surgery center, typically taking 1 to 2 hours under general anesthesia. New endoscopic techniques utilize lighted scopes through small, well-hidden incisions within the hairline, resulting in less swelling and faster recovery.

Candidacy and Age Considerations

While most patients are between 40 and 60 years old, the procedure can be performed at any age for individuals in good health. A comprehensive consultation will determine your specific suitability for the procedure.

Procedure Technique

A brow lift involves tightening loose skin and removing excess tissue. If necessary, surgeons may alter the muscle causing vertical lines between the brows. The goal is repositioning forehead skin to achieve optimal improvement and draw attention to more inviting, open eyes.

Complementary Procedures

A brow lift can be performed independently or in combination with complementary procedures such as an eyelid lift or facelift for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

Recovery Expectations

Patients typically experience minimal discomfort, manageable with prescribed medication. Most individuals return to work within 7 to 10 days and can resume strenuous activities after approximately one month.

Consultation Process

The nominal consultation fee covers an extensive, personalized discussion with board-certified facial plastic surgeons who will carefully evaluate your aesthetic goals and develop a tailored treatment approach.
