Brow Lift

Many of us begin our aesthetic journey with injectables such as neurotoxin to alleviate the horizontal facial lines in the forehead. While this may prove effective initially, over time, you may notice limitations in how aggressive you can be with treating these lines secondary to a heavier brow appearance after treatment. Some of us see a newer heaviness in the forehead that occurs with age and skin changes. Others have lower-set eyebrows without the influence of neurotoxin or age-related changes. No matter the cause, a brow lift can correct sagging or low-set eyebrows. It also addresses deep horizontal creases across the forehead and between the eyebrows.

Questions & Answers

WHAT IS A FOREHEAD LIFT/BROW LIFT? +

Brow lifts are typically performed as part of an overall anti-aging program, but the procedure is also appropriate for younger adults who have a low brow or who already have deep frown lines due to stress or over-activity of muscles. A brow lift elevates the skin above the eyebrows, causing a reduction in forehead lines and heavy appearance of the upper eye region. At Monarch Plastic Surgery and Skin Renewal Center, we offer a traditional brow lift, when appropriate. We also offer endoscopic brow lift technique, which utilizes minimal incisions hidden in the hair. This allows for a refreshed appearance with less time under anesthesia as well as less downtime and recovery.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF A FOREHEAD LIFT/BROW LIFT? +

Benefits of a forehead lift/brow lift are unique to each individual. They include:

  • Helping correct a low brow position
  • Improving a tired or sagging appearance of the upper eye region
  • Improving deep frown lines and sagging skin in the forehead/ brow region
WHO IS A CANDIDATE FOR A FOREHEAD LIFT/BROW LIFT? +

In addition to deciding whether a brow lift can meet your personal goals, there are several factors to be considered in determining whether you are a good candidate for a brow lift. Good candidates for a brow lift include those who:

  • Have sagging or low-set eyebrows
  • Have deep horizontal creases across the forehead and between the eyebrows
  • Have a furrowed brow
  • You are a nonsmoker, or you are willing to stop smoking before your Forehead Lift/Brow Lift
WHO IS NOT A CANDIDATE FOR A FOREHEAD LIFT/BROW LIFT? +

While a brow lift can address a variety of concerns, it does have limitations. It is important to know these limitations and to understand when you may be a candidate for a different type of surgery. A brow lift may not be a good option for you if you:

  • Smoke
  • Are not at your optimal health
  • Do not have sagging skin or your brow is in the appropriate position
YOUR FOREHEAD LIFT/BROW LIFT PROCEDURE +

The forehead lift procedure involves a few small incisions hidden in the hair on top of the forehead. The forehead skin is then carefully lifted. The skin and muscles that cause the problems are then removed or modified.

WHAT IS THE RECOVERY FOLLOWING A FOREHEAD LIFT/BROW LIFT? +

Forehead lift surgery is an outpatient procedure performed with general anesthesia in an operating room. After your surgery, you will be placed in supportive dressings. You will spend a short time in the recovery room before a friend or family member takes you home, where you should plan to rest for the remainder of the day. Be sure to arrange for someone to drive you home after surgery and to stay with you at least the first night. We will advise you on pain medication to ease any discomfort, give you detailed post-operative instructions, and schedule a follow-up appointment to check your progress.

WHAT IS THE RECOVERY FOLLOWING BROW LIFT? +

It is expected to experience some pain and swelling in the first few days after surgery.

Incisions usually heal between 2 and 3 weeks after surgery. Depending on your type of work, you can generally return to work in a week to two weeks. Initially, you will have some activity restrictions, primarily aimed at controlling blood pressure in the initial weeks following surgery. Still, most people can return to total activity by 4-6 weeks after surgery.

Every patient’s recovery is different. Your recovery may be quicker or take more time than average.

OTHER COMMON QUESTIONS +
What Other Procedures Are Sometimes Done at the Same Time as a Forehead Lift (Brow Lift)?

If you are concerned about sagging along the jawline, cheeks, or neck, you might consider a facelift or necklift at the same time as your forehead lift. Signs of aging in the upper and lower eyelids can be addressed with eyelid contouring surgery (blepharoplasty). Skin quality is best addressed with a comprehensive skin care regimen, which can accentuate your facelift and necklift results. Some lines and hollows will not be addressed by a browlift. Often, it makes sense to use fillers to optimize your results. Botox treatments can enhance the results of your browlift as well.
