Forehead Lift Toledo, OH | John F. Zavell, MD, FACS

Understanding Brow Lift Surgery

As you age, forehead wrinkles, creases between your eyes, and hooded upper eyelids can make you appear older and tired. A brow lift is designed to rejuvenate the top third of your face, resulting in a more youthful and refreshed appearance.

What Can a Brow Lift Accomplish?

Aging can cause skin to lose elasticity, resulting in drooping eyebrows and pronounced facial lines. Dr. Zavell performs brow lifts to address these common signs of aging through precise surgical techniques.

Key Benefits of Brow Lift Surgery

• Reposition Eyebrows: Lift drooping brows to create a more alert and friendly appearance
• Balance Facial Features: Create symmetrical and defined eyebrow arches
• Reduce Wrinkles: Minimize forehead lines and frown lines without restricting facial expressions
• Natural-Looking Results: Achieve subtle, sophisticated aesthetic improvements

Types of Brow Lift Procedures

Endoscopic Brow Lift

A minimally invasive technique using small cameras and instruments inserted through hairline incisions to lift and refine forehead tissues with minimal disruption.

Temporal Brow Lift

Ideal for patients seeking correction of outer upper eyelid drooping with minimal central brow intervention. Short, discreetly placed incisions near the hairline ensure minimal scarring.

Brow Lift Procedure Details

The procedure typically involves general anesthesia or IV sedation, strategic hairline incisions, skin repositioning, and precise suturing. Most brow lifts are completed within one to two hours.

Candidacy for Brow Lift Surgery

Ideal candidates are generally between 40-70 years old, in good overall health, non-smokers, and have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes.

Complementary Procedures

Dr. Zavell often recommends combining brow lifts with complementary treatments like facelifts or eyelid surgery to achieve comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

Recovery and Results

Most patients return to work within seven to ten days. Initial results are immediate, with final outcomes becoming more refined as swelling subsides and incision lines fade.
