The Technique

The brow lift procedure to correct the effects of age involves making an incision in a natural location on the scalp or face to avoid detection. Often, a brow lift can be performed at the same time as an upper eyelid lift, using only the incision made for the upper eyelid surgery.

Once the incision is made, the deep creases and wrinkles are corrected, and the brows can be lifted to a more natural, relaxed position, creating a more alert and youthful look. Typical recovery time is about 10 days, although some minor swelling may persist for 2-3 weeks.

Who Is a Good Candidate for a Brow Lift?

A brow lift is performed to tighten the muscles over the forehead and the overlying skin. This procedure may be recommended for patients who are unhappy with their brow appearance and have the following cosmetic concerns:

  • Have forehead lines and wrinkles on the bridge of the nose: Lines on the forehead make a person appear older. Once deep lines have formed, they cannot be treated with topical applications alone. BOTOX and/or facial fillers can improve the appearance of forehead wrinkles and lines across the bridge of the nose, but this is a temporary solution. A woman or man seeking a long-term solution may be a good candidate for brow lift surgery.
  • Appear tired, sad, or worried when they are not: When the forehead muscles begin to sag with aging, it can cause the eyebrows to fall and make the face appear sad and weary. Tightening the brow lifts the eyebrows to give the face a more alert, refreshed, and youthful appearance.

Brow Lift Procedure

Brow lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia or intravenous sedation. Surgical techniques for this procedure include:

Endoscopic

Small incisions are made within the hairline. An endoscope (a thin, flexible tube with a light and camera attached) and surgical instruments are placed through the incisions to adjust the muscles under the skin and correct the source of forehead furrows and creases.

Coronal

The coronal incision is made in the hair-bearing skin across the top of the head, from ear to ear. The forehead skin is lifted, and surgical adjustments are made to the muscles under direct visualization. With this technique, the incision line will be well concealed within the hair.

Endotine

The Endotine brow lift uses small triangular implants to secure the underlying soft tissue rather than traditional interior suturing. This minimizes trauma to the surrounding tissue and allows for a shortened surgical procedure, less downtime, and no additional scarring.

Benefits of a Brow Lift

A sagging forehead and drooping eyebrows can add years to a person’s appearance. Lines and furrows on the forehead can give the face a sad, tired, worried, or angry look, and other people may react to the way you look rather than the way you actually feel.

The main benefit of a brow lift is that it can make you appear younger and more refreshed, so you can look as happy and relaxed as you actually are. When you are happier with your appearance, it can also boost your confidence and self-esteem.
