Brow Lift Houston, TX | Mark Schusterman, MD, FACS

What is a Brow Lift?

In Houston, brow lift patients are treated for sagging, loose skin, fine lines, and wrinkles around the forehead and brows. As we age, this area of the face tends to droop and sag, often giving a much older appearance. Double board-certified Houston plastic surgeon Dr. Mark Schusterman will examine your brow area and help you determine the correct cosmetic procedure.

Am I a Good Candidate for a Brow Lift?

Determining candidacy for a brow lift involves a simple self-assessment:

• Stand in front of a mirror
• Gently pull forehead skin up towards the hairline
• Check if your eyes look less droopy
• Observe if wrinkles and fine lines diminish

If you noticed improvements during this test, a brow lift might be an ideal procedure for you.

Brow Lift Techniques

Endoscopic Brow Lift

Several small incisions are made behind the hairline. An endoscope is inserted to visualize underlying tissues, allowing precise lifting and repositioning of forehead muscles.

Coronal Brow Lift

An incision is placed across the top of the head from ear to ear. The forehead is carefully lifted and positioned, with scalp sections carefully managed and sewn.

Hairline Brow Lift

Ideal for patients with high or receding hairlines, this technique involves removing small amounts of skin and tissue from the forehead's top area without pulling back the hairline.

Procedure Recovery

Traditional brow lift recovery typically takes about two weeks. Bandages are removed in 1-3 days, and sutures are typically removed in 7-10 days. Patients receive specific post-surgical instructions to minimize recovery time.

Brow Lift Results

After swelling and bruising subside, patients can expect a more rested and youthful appearance. Protecting the treated area from sun damage is crucial for maintaining optimal results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Potential risks of brow lift surgery include rare complications such as scarring, skin sensation changes, brow asymmetry, and potential hair loss. The procedure is considered cosmetic and typically not covered by traditional insurance.
