Brow lift surgery (also called a forehead lift) is a proven way to restore a more open, youthful expression, and helps patients look more approachable and refreshed without drastically altering their appearance. Dr. Randy Sanovich, board certified brow lift surgeon in Dallas, Texas, is here to explain the brow lift surgery in detail!
How a Brow Lift Works
A brow lift repositions the skin, muscles, and underlying tissues of the forehead. This creates a smoother upper face, softens frown lines, and restores the brow line to a more natural position.
Several techniques may be used depending on your anatomy and goals:
- Endoscopic brow lift: Performed with small incisions hidden behind the hairline, often resulting in shorter recovery.
- Browpexy: Often requiring a small incision in the brow or temporal hairline, focused on correcting sagging in the outer brow and crow’s-feet area.
- Trichophytic Brow Lift: Provides more comprehensive lifting for patients with significant sagging or deeper lines and requires incisions along the hairline.
At DSA, we focus on endoscopic brow lift often due to its discreet and minimally invasive approach.
Benefits of Brow Lift Surgery
Patients often say this procedure makes them feel like the best version of themselves again including:
- A more youthful brow position that brightens the eyes
- Smoother forehead and softened frown lines
- Improved facial balance and symmetry
- A refreshed expression that still looks natural
- Long-lasting results, unlike chemical brow lifts with Botox which require regular maintenance
Who Should Get a Brow Lift
Thinking about a brow lift? Candidates for this procedure may:
- Notice that your brows sag, are uneven, and weigh down your eyes
- Have deep creases or “11 lines” between the eyebrows
- Feel that your face looks tired or less expressive than it used to
- Are in good overall health and want a more long-term solution than injectables
What to Expect After a Brow Lift
Brow lift surgery is performed under anesthesia and takes between one and two hours depending on the technique and you will go home the same day as your procedure.
Swelling and bruising around the forehead and eyes are common in the first week but improve quickly. Many patients are comfortable returning to work and social activities within 10 to 14 days. Final results become more noticeable as residual swelling subsides over several weeks.
Preparing and Recovering from Brow Lift Surgery
Before surgery:
- Stop smoking to reduce healing complications
- Pause or adjust certain medications if advised
- Avoid anti-inflammatory drugs and alcohol leading up to surgery
- Arrange for a friend or family member to assist at home at the start of recovery
After surgery:
- Keep your head elevated to reduce swelling
- Protect healing incisions from the sun
- Follow post-operative instructions fully to ensure the best results
Combining Surgical Procedures with a Browlift
Many patients choose to combine a brow lift with other facial procedures for a more complete transformation, such as:
- Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) to brighten the eyes further
- Facelift or mini facelift for lower face and jawline rejuvenation
- Skin treatments or injectables to enhance and maintain smoother results
