Elegant and Rejuvenated
What is a brow lift?
A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to correct sagging brows, frown lines, and wrinkles on the forehead. It involves carefully lifting the brow and forehead to create a smoother facial appearance and reduce signs of aging. Depending on your unique goals and facial anatomy, Dr. Felice or Dr. Karcutskie may recommend different brow lift techniques, such as a temporal brow lift or direct brow excision for minimal scarring, or a coronal brow lift for more significant adjustments.
Precision Planning
Your Brow Lift Consultation
During your brow lift consultation at Youthful Images Aesthetics, Dr. Felice or Dr. Karcutskie will take the time to learn about your concerns and evaluate your brow and forehead area. They’ll discuss your medical history, examine your forehead skin, and determine the best brow lift technique to achieve your desired results. Our approach ensures you receive a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your goals, with detailed guidance through each step of the process.
Advanced Techniques for Flawless Results
What is the brow lift procedure like?
The surgical methods used in your brow lift procedure will depend on your individual needs. Options include:
- Coronal Brow Lift: A classic forehead lift technique involving a larger incision across the scalp, which provides more extensive access to the brow and forehead for dramatic results.
- Temporal Brow Lift: Targets the outer brow to lift sagging skin and tissues with smaller incisions near the temples.
- Direct Brow Lift: Involves precise incisions placed within or just above the eyebrow, making it a targeted option for addressing significant brow sagging or asymmetry.
You’ll be given either local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia for your safety during surgery. Dr. Felice and Dr. Karcutskie focus on delivering precise results with minimal scarring.
Elevate Your Look
What conditions does a brow lift address?
A brow lift effectively treats several common concerns, including:
- Sagging brows: Elevates drooping eyebrows to create a more alert and youthful look.
- Frown lines: Softens deep lines and creases between the brows and across the forehead.
- Excess skin: Removes and tightens loose skin on the forehead, improving skin tone and texture.
- Brow ptosis: Corrects the downward droop of the brow that can obstruct vision or create a tired appearance.
See a More Youthful You
What are the benefits of a brow lift?
The brow lift procedure enhances facial harmony, elevating and improving the arch of the brows. By lifting the brows and tightening the forehead skin, the brow lift also reduces wrinkles, creating a smoother facial appearance that looks natural to you. For individuals with significant brow ptosis, or sagging, a brow lift can enhance vision by raising the brows and minimizing sagging skin that may interfere with the upper eyelids.
A Smooth Recovery
Brow Lift Recovery
After a brow lift, expect some swelling and bruising around the forehead and brow area, which typically subsides within 1-2 weeks. Keeping your head elevated and following post-operative care instructions will help manage any discomfort. Most patients return to work and daily activities within about two weeks. Strenuous exercise should be avoided for several weeks. Your plastic surgeon will provide you with detailed aftercare guidelines to ensure a smooth recovery.
Open Your Eyes to the Possibilities
Am I a candidate for a brow lift?
Candidates for a brow lift include patients with visible signs of aging on the brow and forehead, including sagging brows, deep forehead lines, and frown lines. You must be in good overall health and not have medical conditions that could complicate the surgical procedure. During your consultation, Dr. Felice or Dr. Karcutskie will determine if a brow lift is right for you based on your medical history and facial structure.
