Understanding Brow Lift Surgery
A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is a sophisticated surgical procedure designed to address signs of aging in the upper third of the face. The technique softens deep forehead creases, reduces frown lines, and elevates drooping eyebrows to restore a more youthful and alert appearance.
What Does a Brow Lift Address?
- Deep creases across the forehead
- Frown lines between the eyebrows
- Drooping or heavy-looking eyebrows
- Excess skin between eyebrows and upper eyelids
Brow Lift Techniques
Dr. Wiener offers two primary brow lift techniques, tailored to each patient's unique facial anatomy:
- Endoscopic Brow Lift:
- Coronal Brow Lift:
Candidacy for Brow Lift Surgery
Most brow lift patients are between 45 and 60 years old and experience significant forehead and brow sagging. Ideal candidates have realistic expectations and are in good overall health. A simple mirror test can help determine if a brow lift might benefit your appearance.
Procedure Details
Typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, the brow lift procedure involves repositioning muscles and releasing tension to create a more refreshed look. The surgery can be combined with other facial rejuvenation procedures like eyelid lifts for comprehensive results.
Recovery and Results
Recovery varies by technique but generally involves mild swelling and bruising that subsides within 7-10 days. Most patients return to work within 10 days, with full recovery taking approximately one month. The results of a brow lift are long-lasting, typically maintaining improvement for 10-12 years.
