Forehead Lift

(Brow Lift)

Forehead / Browlift Procedure

Addresses the following concerns

  • Comments about looking older, sad, angry, or tired.
  • Wrinkle lines across the forehead created from constantly holding the eyebrows up to see better.
  • Deep furrow lines in between the eyebrows.
  • Sagging, drooping eyebrows that push down and create more skin and hooding over the upper eyelids.

The Procedure

  • Small incisions are made inside the hairline above the forehead. The brow is then lifted and held in place with Endotine devices.
  • Local or MAC anesthesia may be used.
  • This outpatient procedure takes about thirty minutes, and is performed in our AAAHC accredited surgery center.

The Recovery

  • You will come in the day after surgery for a check-up; sutures/staples are removed about six days after surgery.
  • You can shower the day after surgery.
  • No drains are used.
  • You should sleep and rest with your head elevated for a week.
  • Minimal pain is easily controlled with medication, and subsides by the second or third day after surgery.
  • Swelling is mild to moderate, peaks two to three days after surgery, and then disappears rapidly over the next three weeks.
  • Able to apply makeup the day after your procedure and comfortably appear in public three to four days afterwards.
  • Resume minimal activities within the first week, and most all activities after two weeks.
  • Time off work ranges from five to seven days.

The Result

  • Natural, rested, younger appearance.
  • Alleviates heaviness of the eyelids which may improve vision.
  • Returns the eyebrows to their natural position.
  • Improved appearance by the end of the first week that only gets better over the next three to six months.
