Brow Lift New York, NY | Gordon Andan, MD

What is a Brow Lift?

A brow lift is a surgical facial rejuvenation procedure designed to help patients appear more awake and alert. As the upper portions of the face begin to sag with age, excess skin can accumulate at the browline, creating an aging effect on facial expressions.

About Brow Lift Surgery

Brow lifts can revitalize drooping or lined foreheads, helping patients look less tired, sad, or angry. The procedure involves removing or altering muscles above the eyes to smooth fine lines and raise the eyebrows for a more youthful appearance.

Brow Lift Techniques

Two primary techniques are used in brow lift surgery:

• Traditional Brow Lift: Involves an incision across the forehead, hidden at the hairline
• Endoscopic Brow Lift: A minimally invasive procedure using fiber optic equipment

Ideal Candidates for Brow Lift

Brow lift surgery is typically performed on patients aged 40-60 to counteract aging effects. However, individuals with lined or inelastic forehead skin may also be good candidates.

Considerations for Brow Lift

• Lifting sagging skin
• Gaining a refreshed facial appearance
• Treating tired-looking eyes
• Smoothing out forehead creases

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect initial recovery to take 10-14 days. The procedure's results are long-lasting, potentially setting back the aging process by 10 years or more. However, natural aging will continue, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can enhance surgical outcomes.

Complementary Procedures

Dr. Andan often recommends combining a brow lift with procedures like blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

Brow Lift vs. Blepharoplasty

While similar, a brow lift focuses on raising the eyebrows and smoothing the forehead, whereas blepharoplasty addresses excess skin around the eyelids.

Consultation and Pricing

The first step to achieving a more youthful appearance is scheduling a personal consultation with Dr. Gordon Andan. Pricing will be determined during your individual assessment.
