Advanced Brow Lift in Troy, MI | John M. Trupiano MD FACS

Understanding the Brow Lift Procedure

A brow lift, sometimes referred to as a forehead lift, is a sophisticated plastic surgery procedure designed to tighten and elevate the skin and tissues of the upper face. As individuals age, the brow can begin to sag and develop creases, potentially making a person appear older, angrier, or more fatigued than they feel.

Ideal Candidates for Brow Lift Surgery

Patients may be excellent candidates for a brow lift if they experience:

• Sagging, heavy brows
• Hooded upper eyelids
• Low eyebrow positioning
• Prominent forehead creases
• Deep vertical furrows between the eyebrows

Surgical Approach and Technique

Dr. Trupiano typically performs brow lift procedures using local anesthesia and sedation. Two primary incision techniques are available: a traditional coronal approach or a minimally invasive endoscopic method. During the procedure, underlying facial muscles are carefully lifted and tightened, excess skin is trimmed, and the remaining skin is smoothed for a refreshed appearance.

Recovery and Expected Results

Most patients require 1-2 weeks of recovery time. Patients should maintain head elevation and avoid strenuous activities during initial healing. Minor bruising and swelling are normal and typically resolve within several weeks. Full results become apparent after 1-2 months, offering a more youthful and alert facial aesthetic.

Complementary Procedures

A brow lift can be effectively combined with other facial rejuvenation procedures such as facelift, neck lift, or eyelid surgery to achieve comprehensive facial enhancement.
