About Brow Lift Surgery

A brow lift, also known as a browplasty or forehead lift, is a popular aesthetic procedure that creates a lifted brow appearance for a refreshed look. Dr. Cynthia Mizgala at A Woman Plastic Surgeon in Metairie, LA performs brow lifts on men and women to address sagging brows that can create a tired or angry appearance. For optimal results, wrinkle fillers and relaxers like Botox and Restylane are often combined with a forehead lift to achieve a smoother, softer look.

Ideal Candidates for a Brow Lift

As skin ages, parts of the face begin to droop, especially in the upper face region. Candidates for a brow lift may feel they look tired or angry, notice frown lines between the brows, or are bothered by a drooping brow. A surgical brow lift at A Woman Plastic Surgeon could be the right cosmetic treatment for those experiencing these concerns.

Brow Lift Techniques

Dr. Mizgala offers various brow lift techniques, including:

• Traditional (open) incision
• Trichophytic incision
• Lateral brow lift (temporal lift)

The choice of technique depends on factors such as the severity of sagging, forehead involvement, and hairline position. Dr. Mizgala will discuss the best option for each patient during consultation.

Recovery and Results

Recovery following brow lift surgery typically takes 4-7 days. Patients may experience slight bruising and swelling in the upper face. Cold compresses can help reduce swelling, and patients are advised to sleep upright for at least three nights post-surgery. Results are often immediately visible, with patients enjoying a rejuvenated appearance, reduced fine lines, and less sagging in the upper face.
