Brow Lift in Highland Park, IL | Body By Bloch: Steven Bloch, MD

Understanding Brow Lift Surgery

A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift or browplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to reduce wrinkling and furrowing of the forehead skin. The procedure helps correct sagging eyebrows caused by the natural aging process and can improve the appearance of deep frown lines.

Signs of Facial Aging

The face typically displays the first visible signs of aging through changes in eyebrow shape and position. Gravity and tissue loosening around the eyes can create an aged or perpetually angry appearance. Multiple brow lift variations exist to reshape and improve eyebrow positioning.

Ideal Candidates for Brow Lift

Typical brow lift candidates include:

• Ages 40 to 60
• Individuals with deep frown lines
• People experiencing premature aging from sun exposure or smoking
• Patients with hereditary heavy or low brows

Surgical Technique

Brow lift techniques have evolved from traditional open methods to minimally invasive endoscopic approaches. The procedure typically involves small incisions within the hair-bearing scalp, freeing the scalp tissue, repositioning the brow, and anchoring it to the bone.

Recovery and Expectations

Dr. Bloch provides specific post-surgical instructions to promote faster healing. Patients can expect medication to manage pain and reduce infection risks. Recovery duration and discomfort may vary between traditional and endoscopic lift techniques.
