Understanding Brow Lift Procedures

With age, forehead skin begins to sag, creating an appearance of perpetual tiredness or anger. A brow lift addresses these concerns by restoring a more youthful and energetic facial aesthetic.

What is a Brow Lift?

A brow lift focuses on the forehead and eyebrow region to restore a rejuvenated look. The procedure involves removing or altering muscles above the eyes to correct drooping brows and improve horizontal lines and furrows.

Brow Lift Candidacy

Typical brow lift patients are between 40 and 60 years old with sagging brows and aging forehead skin. An easy self-assessment involves pulling the palms up beside the eyebrows to preview potential surgical results.

Brow Lift Techniques

Two primary brow lift techniques are available:

• Coronal Brow Lift:
• Endoscopic Brow Lift:

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect swelling and bruising for 7-10 days, with most returning to work within 10 days. The procedure's effects typically last 10-12 years, though natural aging continues.

Non-Surgical Alternatives

Alternative treatments include neuromodulators like Botox and dermal fillers such as Juvederm, which can temporarily raise the brow and add volume to the temple area.

Procedure Safety

When performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon, brow lifts are considered safe with less than 2% experiencing minor complications.

Preparation Recommendations

• Maintain a healthy diet and exercise routine
• Avoid smoking and alcohol consumption
• Discuss medications with your surgeon
• Arrange adequate post-operative care
