Brow Lift

Consultation

During your brow lift consultation, we will cover any questions you may have regarding what areas you’d like to see improvement in, as well as offer suggestions, provide an overview of what to expect, and which type of surgery is right for you. We will go over your medical history, as well, to ensure that you may be a good candidate for this procedure.

Types Of Brow Lifts

In the case of brow lifts, one of the distinctions made during the consultation with your plastic surgeon will be which brow technique to utilize. There are two popular methods: the coronal brow lift and the lateral brow technique.

CORONAL BROW LIFT: A coronal brow lift (otherwise referred to as the traditional forehead lift), involves incisions being placed behind the ears (and further behind the hairline to prevent any visible scars) and pulling the skin back. This is the more direct and invasive method of the two and targets more areas of concern than the other.

LATERAL BROW LIFT: The lateral brow lift (often referred to as the temporal lift) targets the lower eyelids and crow’s feet and is ideal if the patient’s signs of aging are not as severe, or if a high hairline is the main concern. The incisions are made along the hairline, though are much closer to the line than the coronal brow lift technique.

ENDOSCOPIC BROW LIFT: An endoscopic brow lift is the preferred technique for providing patients with the best eyebrow lift results, which involves a far less-invasive approach due to the small incisions made. It allows us to perform the restoration through three to five minimal incisions of one-half inch to an inch made in the scalp above the hairline. A thin endoscope about the size of a pencil inserted through these incisions allows us to elevate the sagging brow. Relying upon this state-of-the-art technology, forehead tissues are lifted and repositioned, remaining in place for years to come.

All brow lift surgery is done with either general or local anesthesia, depending on severity.

Side Effects And Risks

As far as risks go, there is always a chance of scars forming where the incisions are made, but they are strategically placed by brow experts to not be noticeable. There are rare instances where a patient may have trouble making certain facial expressions (eyebrow movement) and revision surgery may be needed to fix this. A loss of feeling around the target site may occur, but this is only a temporary effect. As stated before, all chances of these risks occurring are lessened when your surgery is done by an experienced doctor, such as Drs. Robert and Mark Glasgold.
