Forehead Lift (Brow Lift) New York, NY | Thomas P. Sterry, MD

Understanding Brow Lift Surgery

Your forehead might be giving people the wrong impression. A droopy forehead can make you look tired or sad, while lines and wrinkles on your forehead can make you look older than you actually are. A brow lift can help restore a more youthful and alert appearance.

Key Indications for Brow Lift

Patients might benefit from a brow lift if they experience:

• Drooping at the tip of the nose
• "Hooded" or sagging skin at the outer part of the eyes
• Horizontal frown lines at the top of the nose
• Wrinkled forehead

Procedure Overview

A brow lift, also called a forehead lift, can improve the overall skin tone of your upper face by altering muscles and tightening the forehead skin. The result is a reduction in forehead creases, drooping eyebrows, over-eye hoods, and frown lines.

Surgical Techniques

Dr. Sterry offers two primary brow lift techniques:

• Endoscopic Brow Lift: Less invasive, involving small incisions behind the hairline
• Traditional Coronal Brow Lift: More comprehensive, with an incision across the top of the head

Complementary Procedures

Dr. Sterry often performs brow lift surgery in conjunction with eyelid surgery and/or facelift to comprehensively rejuvenate the face. This approach ensures a balanced and natural-looking result.

Procedure Details

A typical brow lift takes approximately 45-60 minutes and can be performed under general anesthesia or sedation. Recovery time varies depending on the technique, with endoscopic procedures typically allowing faster recovery.

Expected Results

Patients can expect a more animated, natural appearance that looks younger, more alert, and refreshed without an "operated" look.
