Brow Lift Surgery

• Unsightly wrinkle lines on the forehead.
• An angry or “too serious” appearance.
• Drooping eyebrows, resulting in a tired look.

Eyebrows lift surgery can be performed in different ways. An endoscopic lift (involving a thin tube with a camera on the end) is performed through small incisions in the hairline. This allows the tissue and muscle under the skin to be adjusted and corrected. A “coronal incision” brow lift is an incision made from ear to ear across the top of the head. The forehead skin is then lifted, and muscle adjustments can be made under direct visualization. The resulting scar is well hidden within the hair.

The eyebrow lift surgery generally takes about one to three hours. If additional cosmetic procedures are being performed, the brow lift surgery could last longer. The results of your brow lift are immediately visible. This is the best way to lift eyebrows.

Normally, post-operative instructions call for plenty of rest and limited movement in order to speed up the healing process and reduce the recovery time. Patients keep their heads elevated following surgery and perform no vigorous activity for as long as the surgeon recommends. Patients sometimes report minor pain, which can be treated with oral medication. While complications are rare, patients can minimize the risk of potential problems by carefully following the post-operative directions given after the surgery.
