Introduction to Brow Lifts

Aging can leave even the happiest people looking sad or angry, and the most energetic looking fatigued. The truth is that the world reads you by the expression on your face—and it can be hard to feel like your true self when you feel like it’s telling the wrong story. As you well know, no beauty product in the world can change your expression. The good news is that a simple surgical procedure can. A forehead lift, also known as a brow lift, can help undo years of aging, restoring youth and energy to your face. To learn more about how a brow or forehead lift in the New York and New Jersey areas can help you look more like yourself again, we invite you to schedule a consultation at one of our East Coast Advanced Plastic Surgery offices.

What is a Brow Lift?

A forehead lift is also known as a brow lift, or less commonly, an endobrow lift, an open brow lift, or a temporal lift. Generally, all of these brow lift surgeries involve incisions along the hairline, tightening of loose facial skin, and removal of excess skin to diminish visible signs of aging. Brow lifts are designed to provide you with smooth, youthful-looking skin.

Several brow lift techniques may help you obtain optimal results. Sometimes, removing or repositioning the muscle in the brow area is necessary to further smooth the forehead. Incisions can be long or short, and the approach can be open or endoscopic. An ECAPS plastic surgeon will determine the best approach for you, taking into account the position of your hairline, your facial bone structure, your skin condition, and any specific goals you may have for your face and skin.

Special Considerations for Forehead / Brow Lifts

Please reflect upon the following before committing to plastic surgery:

Expectations: Brow lifts can give you a younger-looking appearance, but it is not a permanent procedure. Brow lifts do not stop the aging process. It is also not possible to look “like someone else” after a brow lift because no bone structure is rearranged or reconstructed. Please keep your expectations realistic and remember that brow lifts are performed for your own happiness, not to please others.
Medical conditions: This procedure is not recommended for individuals with uncontrolled diabetes, heart disease, or a weakened immune system. These factors can complicate surgery and interfere with optimal recovery. You must be healthy enough to withstand surgery before you go under the knife.
Weight: You must complete any weight loss goals before surgery and stabilize your weight. Extreme weight gain or weight loss will affect the long-term results of your procedure.

What to Expect on the Day of Brow Lift Surgery

On the day of your brow lift in the New York and New Jersey areas, our team will welcome you and help you settle into the procedure room, reviewing your surgical plan one more time. Finally, a board-certified anesthesiologist will administer either local or general anesthesia, depending on the discussion during the consultation.

Once you are sedated, depending on the technique you choose, the surgeon will begin the incisions and manipulate the forehead and brow area. Once they are done, they will close the incisions carefully to minimize scarring.
On average, and without complications, a brow lift typically takes between 1 and 2 hours to complete.

Brow Lift Recovery

After the procedure, the staff will monitor you in the recovery room to make sure the sedation wears off. Patients are recommended to have friends or family members drive them back home.

Swelling is most prominent in the first two days post-surgery but greatly improves within two weeks. It may take several weeks for all swelling to finally clear. Facial and scalp numbness may also occur, but usually resolves within several months.

The helpful and innovative plastic surgeons at the East Coast Advanced Plastic Surgery Center will be with you during all of your facial procedures. You will be sent home with detailed care instructions to ensure a successful recovery.
