Forehead Rejuvenation Newport News, VA | Peter J. Vonu, MD

Understanding Brow Lift Surgery

As individuals age, the brow can develop sagging and drooping that contributes to a tired or unhappy appearance. Brow lift surgery offers a sophisticated solution to restore a more youthful and refreshed facial aesthetic.

What is a Brow Lift?

A brow lift, medically known as a forehead lift, is a cosmetic procedure targeting the upper facial region. The surgery addresses issues related to brow position and appearance by repositioning forehead tissues to a more aesthetically pleasing location.

Key Areas Treated by Brow Lift

• Brow sagging and drooping
• Forehead wrinkles and lines
• Tired or stern facial expressions
• Deep furrows between eyebrows
• Hooded or heavy upper eyelids

Surgical Techniques for Brow Lift

Traditional Brow Lift

The traditional coronal brow lift involves an incision along the hairline, allowing comprehensive tissue repositioning. This technique is particularly effective for moderate to severe brow sagging and deep forehead wrinkles.

Endoscopic Brow Lift

An advanced, minimally invasive approach using small hairline incisions and specialized instruments. The endoscopic method offers reduced scarring and quicker recovery while effectively addressing mild to moderate aging signs.

Advantages of Endoscopic Brow Lift

• Minimally invasive technique
• Smaller incisions with reduced scarring
• Lower complication risks
• Faster recovery compared to traditional methods
• Targeted correction of early aging signs

Recovery and Aftercare

Proper post-surgical care is crucial for optimal results and healing. Patients should follow their surgeon's guidelines carefully, including rest, elevation, and gradual return to normal activities.

Recovery Guidelines

• Rest and keep head elevated
• Use cold compresses to minimize swelling
• Follow prescribed medication instructions
• Avoid strenuous activities
• Protect incisions from sun exposure

Consultation and Personalization

Each brow lift is uniquely tailored to the patient's facial anatomy and aesthetic goals. Board-certified plastic surgeons at the Plastic Surgery Center of Hampton Roads will develop a personalized treatment plan during your consultation.
