Brow Lift Bala Cynwyd, PA | Dr. Craig Mezrow, MS, MD, FACS

Understanding Brow Lift Surgery

A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is a surgical procedure designed to improve low eyebrows, deep forehead creases, and frown lines. Patients with eyebrow ptosis (sagging) often experience excess skin hanging over the outer aspects of the eyes, creating a tired, sad, or angry appearance.

Procedure Benefits

• Elevate drooping eyebrows
• Reduce deep forehead wrinkles
• Diminish frown lines
• Restore a more youthful, refreshed look

Surgical Techniques

Dr. Mezrow offers multiple brow lift techniques tailored to individual patient needs, including:

• Coronal technique: Incision across the scalp
• Endoscopic technique: Smaller, minimally invasive incisions
• Limited incision non-endoscopic surgery

Procedure Details

During the forehead lift, muscles causing wrinkles are modified, eyebrows are elevated, and excess skin may be removed. The procedure typically takes 1-2 hours and is performed as an outpatient surgery.

Potential Complications and Risks

While significant complications are rare, potential risks include:

• Infection
• Bleeding
• Hematoma
• Altered sensation
• Changes in hairline position

Recovery and Healing

Patients can typically return to non-strenuous work within 1-2 weeks. Complete healing and final results may take up to a year. Patients will be instructed on post-operative care to optimize recovery and minimize complications.

Anesthesia and Aftercare

Medications are administered for patient comfort, including local anesthesia, intravenous sedation, or general anesthesia. Post-surgical instructions include short walks, avoiding strenuous activities, and follow-up appointments.
