What is a Brow Lift?
A brow lift, often called a forehead lift, is a cosmetic procedure to raise and smooth the brows to improve the appearance of the forehead, the brows, and the area around the eyes. It can reposition the forehead, smooth forehead wrinkles, and help you achieve a more youthful appearance. This procedure can be combined with hairline advancement to address a high or receding hairline.
There are many approaches to a brow lift including an incision directly above the eyebrows, in a mid-forehead crease, just in front of the hairline, or behind the hairline. Two of Dr. Hassanzadeh’s favorite techniques are the Endoscopic Brow Lift and Temporal Brow Lift, also known as a Lateral Brow Lift.
A brow lift is often combined with a facelift and/or eyelid lift to optimize your results.
Patient Testimonial
Jawline Filler
I visited Dr. Hassanzadeh to enhance my jawline, and she suggested a bit of filler – it was exactly what I needed. Now, two weeks later, I’m absolutely OBSESSED with the results. The change is subtle yet powerful, giving me that perfectly “snatched” jawline I was hoping for.
Dr. Hassanzadeh is also a total sweetheart! She makes you feel welcome and is incredibly knowledgeable about facial aesthetics. While I’m not quite ready for surgery, I’ve seen her surgical work, and I would trust her 1000% with my face when the time comes. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a change, whether surgical or non-surgical!
What are the Benefits of a Brow Lift?
Some of the advantages you can look forward to with a brow lift include the following:
- Minimally invasive: Newer techniques that Dr. Hassanzadeh specializes in, such as Endoscopic or Temporal Brow Lift, involve small, keyhole incisions that are well-concealed behind your hairline.
- Improved confidence: With a younger, smoother appearance to your forehead and restored brow position, you’ll experience a boost in confidence and see an increase in your self-esteem.
- More youthful appearance: With a reduction of lines and wrinkles and the removal of excess or sagging skin, you can look forward to a younger appearance. The procedure will take years off your facial appearance.
- Reduction in lines and wrinkles: By lifting and smoothing the skin and separating tethering structures underneath the skin around the brows.
- Long-lasting results: A brow lift permanently sets the clock back, even if there is a gradual descent of your eyebrows after many years or decades.
- May be done awake: In the appropriate patient, a brow lift may easily be performed in the office, avoiding risks associated with general anesthesia.
- Custom procedure: Dr. Hassanzadeh will help you select the best approach to achieve your goals and desired outcomes.
The Brow Lift Procedure
Depending on your preference and degree of procedural complexity, a brow lift may be done in the office or under general anesthesia. If you are awake in the office, Dr. Hassanzadeh will begin by administering numbing medication. Otherwise, general anesthesia will be administered. From there, Dr. Hassanzadeh will make an incision along your hairline and then move, lift, and smooth your tissues. She will remove muscle and skin to give you the results you’re looking for. Once everything is in place, the incisions will be closed up with stitches and metal clips in the hairline as needed, and the surgical site will be wrapped with bandages.
A brow lift surgery can take between one to three hours.
Brow Lift Recovery
After your brow lift, your forehead may have some swelling and bruising, but those side effects will dissipate as you heal and recover over the first 1-2 weeks. Dr. Hassanzadeh will give you detailed instructions on how best to care for yourself.
You will want to rest with your head elevated, apply cold compresses to any swelling, and keep a compressive dressing in place for 24-48 hours. You’ll also want to avoid strenuous activities until Dr. Hassanzadeh approves you for exercise. Most patients can return to work after 7-10 days or sooner if working from home.
As for results, improved brow position can be observed immediately, but it can take up to six months before you are completely healed and for the final results to be fully visible.
Am I a Candidate?
Ideal candidates for a brow lift are those who are in generally good health with realistic expectations, nonsmokers, those without medical conditions that could negatively affect the healing process, and those who aren’t pregnant or breastfeeding. Good candidates should also be struggling with brow descent, hooded or droopy upper eyelids, lines and wrinkles, and sagging skin.
