Brow Lift Atlanta by DiFrancesco Plastic Surgery
Brow Lift in Atlanta, GA
Understanding Brow Lift Procedures
Facial expressions communicate complex emotions, but aging can distort these signals. Lines, folds, and sagging in the upper face can make individuals appear tired or angry, even when they're not. While non-surgical treatments like Botox can provide temporary improvements, surgical procedures offer more transformative, long-lasting rejuvenation.
What is a Brow Lift?
A brow lift is a specialized facial plastic surgery procedure targeting the brow and upper face. The technique addresses sagging and drooping that contribute to visible lines, frown lines, and hooded eyelids. During the procedure, strategic incisions are created to access and reposition underlying tissues, creating a smoother, more youthful brow contour.

Ideal Candidates for Brow Lift
Patients seeking long-term upper face rejuvenation are optimal brow lift candidates. Good overall health is essential, and candidates typically have explored non-surgical alternatives without achieving desired results. Dr. DiFrancesco evaluates individual anatomy and aesthetic goals during comprehensive consultations.
Brow Lift Procedure Overview
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia, typically lasting approximately two hours. After creating appropriate incisions, Dr. DiFrancesco carefully repositions and tightens underlying facial tissues. Excess skin is trimmed, and incisions are meticulously closed to minimize scarring.
Recovery and Results
Recovery generally requires one week away from work and social activities. Patients can expect temporary swelling and bruising, manageable with prescribed medications. Following post-operative instructions, including head elevation and activity restrictions, ensures optimal healing. Results gradually emerge over subsequent weeks and months.
