Brow Lift

Quick Facts About Brow Lift

Used For: Correction of eyebrow sagging
Down Time: 1-2 Weeks
How It Works: Repositioning the sagging eyebrow to a higher position.
Side Effects: Most common side effect is bruising and swelling on the forehead.
What to Expect: There will be some bruising and swelling of the forehead and eyelids. Bruising typically starts at the top of the forehead and travels with gravity, working its way down the face. Results are apparent immediately and may seem over-corrected, however, as the swelling goes down the natural appearing results will become apparent. Depending on the approach, there may be numbness of the top of the head which will improve over the course of 2-8 months. See below for more information on each procedure.

Types of Brow Lifts (Endoscopic and Facelift-Associated Techniques)

Each brow lift technique offers unique benefits depending on your facial structure and goals. Some methods, like the endoscopic approach, can also be combined with a facelift to create smoother, more balanced rejuvenation across the face.

Endoscopic Brow Lift – By using cameras and small vertical incisions, it is possible to avoid numbness of the top of the head. This technique may cause some elevation of the hairline, which is not advised in patients with high foreheads.
Pretrychial (Hairline) Brow Lift – This incision is made in a special way to allow hairs to re-grow through the scar. The incision is made just along the hairline. The advantage of this procedure is that extra skin is removed at the time of the procedure and that the hairline can be lowered, which is desired by many patients with receding or thinning hair. There will be numbness at the top of the head after this procedure that will return to normal over the next 2-8 months.
Coronal Brow lift – This incision is again made so that hairs will re-grow through the scar. The incision is made about 4 cm behind the front of the hairline. This provides a more concealed scar. There will be some numbness at the top of the head after this procedure which will return to normal over the next 2-8 months.
