Understanding Brow Lift: Rejuvenating the Upper Face

A youthful brow is characterized by its position above the orbital rim, with a graceful lateral arch. As individuals age, the brow can become flat or droopy, creating a tired or aged appearance. A brow lift is a proven surgical technique designed to restore a more youthful and refreshed upper facial aesthetic.

What is a Brow Lift?

A brow lift, alternatively known as a forehead lift or browplasty, is a surgical procedure that elevates the soft tissues of the forehead. The primary goal is to restore a more youthful contour to the forehead skin, upper eyelids, and eyebrows by counteracting the effects of gravity.

Brow Lift Techniques

Dr. Jeffrey Umansky offers multiple brow lift techniques tailored to individual patient needs:

• Open Brow Lift:
• Endoscopic Brow Lift:

Procedure Details

The specific brow lift technique is selected based on the patient's unique facial characteristics, bone structure, skin condition, and aesthetic goals. Incisions are strategically placed to minimize visible scarring, often within the hair-bearing scalp.

Recovery and Healing

Most patients can expect initial recovery within 7-10 days. Swelling and bruising typically subside quickly, with patients often returning to work within a week. Full activity can usually be resumed within two weeks.

Potential Risks and Considerations

While brow lift complications are rare, patients should be aware of potential risks such as:

• Temporary changes in skin sensation
• Potential for minor scarring
• Rare instances of infection or healing complications

Complementary Procedures

Dr. Umansky often recommends combining brow lift with complementary procedures like upper eyelid lift or facelift to achieve comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
