Understanding Brow Lift Surgery

Brow lifts address the first signs of aging in the upper face, focusing on restoring a more youthful, refreshed appearance. As skin loses elasticity due to gravity and aging, eyebrows naturally descend, creating a heavy or tired look.

Are You a Candidate for Brow Lift?

Consider a brow lift if you experience:

• Drooping eyebrows that make eyes appear half-closed
• Horizontal forehead wrinkles
• Deep furrows between the brows
• A permanent expression that doesn't reflect your true mood

Endoscopic Brow Lift Technique

Aesthetic Surgery Center utilizes the most advanced endoscopic brow lift technique, offering significant advantages over traditional methods. This approach minimizes scarring and preserves natural hairline positioning.

Surgical Procedure Details

• 2-4 small incisions placed behind the hairline
• Endoscopic guidance for precision
• Muscle modification to reduce wrinkles
• Eyebrow repositioning to a more youthful location
• Typical surgery duration: 1-2 hours

Combined Procedures

Brow lifts are frequently combined with facelifts and neck lifts to provide comprehensive facial rejuvenation. While a brow lift addresses the upper face, a facelift targets the lower two-thirds of the face.

Recovery and Healing

• Minimal post-surgical pain
• Swelling and bruising typical for 3-7 days
• Bandage dressings for 2-7 days
• Suture removal at 5-7 days
• Return to non-strenuous activities within 3-4 days
• Most patients return to work within 5-7 days

Non-Surgical Alternatives

For patients seeking less invasive options, BOTOX® and Dysport™ injectable treatments can temporarily lift and smooth the brow area. These treatments require repeated application every 4-5 months to maintain results.
