Understanding Brow Lift Surgery in Baton Rouge

Facial aging impacts everyone differently, with the upper face often showing the most pronounced signs of getting older. A drooping brow can create an appearance of fatigue, sadness, or perpetual grumpiness. Baton Rouge cosmetic surgeon Dr. Taylor Theunissen performs brow lift surgery to restore a smoother forehead contour and more uplifted brows, ultimately delivering a more youthful appearance.

Ideal Candidates for Brow Lift Procedure

• Reduce deep wrinkles across the forehead
• Improve frown lines between the eyes
• Raise sagging brows that hood upper eyelids
• Restore facial symmetry and balance

Surgical Techniques

Dr. Theunissen employs multiple brow lift techniques based on individual patient needs. The chosen method depends on the required work, skin condition, and hairline location. Potential approaches include:

• Classic upper eyelid incisions
• Coronal incision (ear-to-ear underneath hairline)
• Endoscopic brow lift (minimally invasive with minimal scarring)

Procedure Details

A brow lift is typically performed under general anesthesia and takes approximately two hours. Patients are advised to limit strenuous activities during initial recovery. While some swelling and bruising are expected, most patients return to normal routines within one week.

Procedure Specifics

• Average Cost: $5,500
• Procedure Time: 2.5 hours
• Recovery Time: 1-2 weeks
• Location: Outpatient procedure
• Insurance: Not covered

Brow Lift vs. Alternative Treatments

While Botox can temporarily smooth forehead lines, it cannot correct drooping skin or significant brow sagging. Dr. Theunissen can recommend whether a brow lift, Botox, or combined approach best suits individual aesthetic goals.
