Brow Lift in Ypsilanti, MI | Dr. Richard J. Beil, MD

Understanding Brow Lift Procedures

A heavy brow area can make individuals look tired, angry, or older than their actual age. The board-certified plastic surgeons at Center for Plastic Surgery Ann Arbor specialize in brow lift procedures designed to help patients achieve a naturally refreshed and rejuvenated appearance.

Indications for Brow Lift Surgery

• Sagging forehead or brows that hang too low and crowd the upper eyelid
• Deep furrows on the forehead and between the eyebrows

Intended Surgical Results

Patients can expect a more youthful and rested appearance in the forehead and upper eyelid regions after a brow lift procedure.

Brow Lift Surgical Techniques

A brow lift is performed on an outpatient basis under sedation with local anesthesia. Two primary techniques are utilized:

Surgical Approach Options

• Endoscopic Brow Lift: Involves several short incisions placed in the hairline, utilizing an endoscope to lift and reposition forehead tissue
• Coronal Brow Lift: Incisions typically made behind or in front of the hairline, depending on individual patient anatomy

Complementary Procedures

To enhance overall facial rejuvenation, patients may consider combining a brow lift with additional treatments such as:

• Eyelid surgery
• Facelift
• BOTOX® Cosmetic or Dysport®
• Dermal fillers
• Laser skin resurfacing

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect initial recovery within 7 to 10 days, with most swelling and bruising subsiding during this period. Sutures or staples are typically removed within 5 to 7 days post-procedure.

Insurance Considerations

While cosmetic brow lifts are typically self-funded, procedures performed to improve vision field may qualify for partial insurance coverage. The Center for Plastic Surgery Ann Arbor offers flexible options for patients seeking surgical enhancement.
