Forehead Lift in Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Understanding Brow Lift Surgery

A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is a sophisticated facial rejuvenation procedure designed to reposition low or sagging eyebrows and minimize forehead wrinkles. This highly individualized treatment offers multiple techniques tailored to each patient's aesthetic goals.

Brow Lift Techniques

Coronal Brow Lift

Considered the original and gold standard technique, the Coronal Brow Lift involves an ear-to-ear incision that allows for comprehensive forehead and eyebrow repositioning. While effective, this method includes potential drawbacks:

• Longer surgical scar
• Potential hair loss along incision line
• Extended recovery period
• Possible scalp sensory changes

Endoscopic Brow Lift

A modern, minimally invasive approach utilizing surgical video technology and small strategically placed scalp and temple incisions. This technique allows surgeons to reposition underlying tissue and muscle with minimal scarring.

• Smaller incisions
• Quicker recovery
• Minimal visible scarring
• Uses specialized anchoring techniques

Temporal Brow Lift

Focused on lifting the lateral third of the eyebrow, this technique addresses hooding in the upper eyelid area. It can be performed under local anesthesia with minimal invasiveness.

Pretrichial Brow Lift

An alternative method involving skin removal along the hairline, particularly extending across the lateral third of the superior hairline. This technique offers a less invasive option performed under local anesthesia.

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect initial wound healing within 5-10 days, with suture removal and return to normal activities. Complete recovery and refinement of incision lines may take several months.
