Advanced Forehead Rejuvenation Brow Lift | Los Angeles, CA | Kian Karimi MD, FACS

What is a Brow Lift?

A brow lift is a specialized plastic surgery procedure designed to raise the eyebrows and eliminate fine lines and wrinkles on the forehead. The primary goal is to create a more relaxed, rejuvenated appearance without an artificial or surprised look.

Brow Lift Procedure Techniques

Plastic surgeons utilize several advanced techniques for performing a brow lift, each tailored to individual patient needs and anatomy:

Endoscopic Brow Lift

This minimally invasive approach is most frequently used, particularly for younger patients experiencing early aging or mild forehead sagging. The technique involves:

• Multiple small incisions behind the hairline
• Minimal scarring
• Ideal for patients with mild forehead lines and early brow sagging

Open Brow Lift

Also known as a trichophytic or coronal lift, this method is considered the most effective and long-lasting approach. It is recommended for patients with:

• Significant brow hanging
• Pronounced forehead wrinkles
• Incisions placed behind or within the hairline to conceal scarring

Direct Brow Lift

A straightforward technique primarily performed on male patients, characterized by:

• Incisions made directly above the eyebrows
• Camouflaged by fuller eyebrow hair
• Safe and uncomplicated procedure

Recovery and Healing Process

Recovery varies depending on the specific brow lift technique used. Patients can expect different experiences based on the approach:

Endoscopic Brow Lift Recovery

Patients typically experience minimal discomfort, including slight numbness, minor swelling around incision sites. Most patients manage with over-the-counter pain medication, and sutures are removed within the first week.

Open and Direct Brow Lift Recovery

More invasive techniques require a more extended recovery period. Recommended post-procedure care includes:

• Keeping the head elevated, even during sleep
• Suture removal within approximately two weeks
• Potential swelling around eyes and cheeks
• Recommended time off work: 1-2 weeks
