What Type of Brow Lift Is Best for Me?

The best candidates for any type of brow lift must have a BMI below 30. Dr. Gross will help you understand which of the following options is best suited to you:

Traditional Brow Lift

A traditional brow lift offers a more thorough rejuvenation than other techniques and is usually recommended for men and women in their 50s or older who have more advanced signs of aging and drooping brows.

During surgery, Dr. Gross removes excess skin that has been drooping and tightens the facial muscles and tissue beneath the skin, leaving behind a smoother forehead and a more rested appearance of the brow.

Direct Brow Lift

A direct brow lift procedure is done more commonly for men, although it can also benefit women with heavy, drooping brows. Dr. Gross makes an incision above the eyebrow on the forehead to tighten the muscle. Because of this location just above the brow line, any scar heals very nicely and is camouflaged by the natural contours of the face.

Transbleph Brow Lift

A transbleph brow lift involves using absorbable mini-plates called Endotines®, which hold tissue/muscle in place through a single upper eyelid incision. This brow lift technique can reduce the frown lines between the eyebrows.

Because this technique lifts the lateral eyebrows, Dr. Gross often performs it in conjunction with upper eyelid surgery for a comprehensive overhaul. He also uses computer imaging before any procedures to show patients how they might look afterward.

Temporal Brow Lift

In some cases, a temporal brow lift offers patients a soft lateral lift by making a limited incision just behind the natural hairline in the area of the temple, so then the outer part of the eyebrows can be elevated. This technique is mainly intended for people with slight droopiness specifically on the outer aspects of their eyebrows but without a general overall lower position of their eyebrows.

Some patients may be better candidates for other brow and forehead rejuvenation procedures, such as the endoscopic forehead lift.

“The new youthful brow position is usually maintained for 10 years, letting you enjoy your new look.”
– Dr. Gross

What Is Brow Lift Recovery Like?

Brow lifts are performed as outpatient procedures lasting about 1.5 hours with general anesthesia in our AAAASF-approved surgical center. Each person’s recovery is unique; however, the following timeline provides a basic guideline of what to expect.

Days 1 to 6

You will return home on the same day of your surgery. You will likely experience some swelling, bruising, and fatigue. We will prescribe you pain medication to manage any soreness.

Days 7 to 10

Most brow lift patients can go back to work 7 to 10 days after surgery. You may need to wait a bit longer if your job is physically strenuous.

Week 2

Bruising should subside after about 2 weeks. You may still have some residual swelling for a few more weeks.

Weeks 4 to 6

You can begin to resume more intense exercise.

6 Months

You will need to limit exposure to the sun for several months after your surgery. Over this time, any remaining swelling will subside, and your incisions will begin to fade.

Some common side effects include temporary swelling, numbness, headache, and bruising. The traditional method also includes the possibility of scalp itching and hair loss.

Brow Lift FAQ

  • What are the benefits of brow lift surgery?
    This procedure, done via incisions hidden above the eyebrows, can elevate more of the lateral brow than the endoscopic method. Dr. Gross uses this method for patients with heavy brows and mostly for men.
  • What does a brow lift do?
    This procedure lifts drooping eyebrows, removes hooding over the eyes, and tightens and lifts the sagging eyebrows. It opens the upper eyelid area for better vision, as well.
  • What type of anesthesia do you use for a brow lift?
    We require general anesthesia for this procedure.
  • Is a brow lift an outpatient procedure?
    Yes, this is an outpatient procedure at Primera Surgery Center.
  • What are the risks of brow lift surgery?
    Injury to facial nerves, muscle weakness, an asymmetrical look, infection, broad or excessive scarring, eyebrow asymmetry.
  • How long will brow lift results last?
    “The new youthful brow position is usually maintained for 10 years,” according to Dr. Gross.
  • Are there any non-surgical alternatives to brow lift surgery?
    Injectables, particularly BOTOX® Cosmetic and Dysport®, can provide a non-surgical brow lift. However, the results are temporary and more subtle than surgical results. If you are looking to smooth away wrinkles around the brow and forehead, other treatments such as laser skin resurfacing, dermabrasion, and chemical peels can address these without surgery.
