Brow Lift in Columbia, South Carolina

Understanding Brow Lift: Facial Aging and Expression

Signs of aging can subtly transform facial expressions, particularly in the brow region. As gravity, collagen loss, and skin thinning occur, the brow may descend, creating a tired, closed-off appearance that can impact self-perception and social interactions.

What is a Brow Lift Procedure?

A brow lift is a surgical procedure designed to elevate the brow to a more natural, youthful position. By lifting skin, muscle, and internal brow structures, the procedure restores brightness and opens the upper facial region.

Brow Lift Techniques

• Endoscopic approach: Small incisions along the hairline using specialized instruments
• Coronal incision: Ear-to-ear incision across the top of the head
• Lateral temporal lift: Dr. Moses's preferred contemporary method addressing most common aging areas

Benefits of a Brow Lift

Beyond cosmetic improvements, a brow lift can:

• Restore a gentle, more approachable facial expression
• Enhance confidence in social interactions
• Correct unintended expressions of anger, fatigue, or sadness

Ideal Candidates for Brow Lift

Suitable candidates include healthy, non-smoking adults with:

• Evidence of significant brow drooping
• Realistic expectations for aesthetic improvement
• No current blood-thinning medication use

Surgical Procedure and Recovery

Dr. Moses performs brow lifts using general or local anesthesia, carefully lifting and repositioning muscles and skin to achieve a natural, refreshed appearance. Recovery typically involves:

• Initial swelling and bruising for 1-2 days
• Gradual resumption of normal activities within weeks
• Final results visible after 6-8 weeks
