Advanced Brow Lift Walnut Creek, CA | Joseph A. Mele, MD, FACS

Understanding the Brow Lift Procedure

Deep-set expression lines and wrinkles above the nose can make individuals appear tired, sad, or older than their actual age. When BOTOX® Cosmetic no longer provides satisfactory results, a brow lift offers a comprehensive solution for facial rejuvenation.

What Does a Brow Lift Accomplish?

A brow lift is a cosmetic facial plastic surgery procedure designed to:

• Reduce heavy skin above the eyes
• Minimize transverse forehead wrinkles
• Eliminate vertical frown lines between eyebrows

Correcting the Saggy Brow

As individuals age, the brow naturally descends, creating a heavy and tired appearance. The thick brow skin pushes down onto the eyelids, potentially blocking upward vision. A brow lift elevates the sagging brow, restoring a more rested and alert look.

Brow Lift Techniques in Walnut Creek

Dr. Mele specializes in multiple brow lift approaches, ensuring personalized treatment for each patient:

Endoscopic Brow Lift

This technique involves small incisions within the hair, allowing for minimal scarring and precise brow elevation. Specialized instruments and an endoscopic camera enable dramatic wrinkle reduction with minimal invasiveness.

Traditional Open Brow Lift

An incision within the scalp hair allows for comprehensive skin removal and muscle tightening. This approach provides more extensive correction of forehead wrinkles and brow sagging.

Complementary Procedures

Dr. Mele often recommends combining brow lift with complementary procedures to maintain facial harmony, such as:

• Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)
• Facelift (Rhytidectomy)

Recovery and Preparation

Brow lift recovery typically spans a few weeks, with multiple follow-up appointments. Patients should avoid blood thinners and discuss medication adjustments with Dr. Mele before the procedure.
