Brow Lift

Dr. Lo performs brow lift surgery to restore the natural position of the forehead and eyebrows, correcting several age-related imperfections with one procedure. Some of the problems that can be alleviated by brow lift surgery include the following:

• Eyebrow or forehead skin that has descended over time
• Excess skin or fatty tissue that has begun to hang over the eyes
• Wrinkles and folds, such as frown lines or crow's feet, on the upper portions of the face
• The grumpy or tired appearance that often results from the above conditions

It is common for people of a certain age to experience a gradual descent of the forehead skin, leading to a ‘low brow’ appearance. With our advanced techniques in facial plastic surgery, you don't have to live with such a condition. Many of our patients have had their forehead and brow restored to a natural, more attractive position through endoscopic brow lift surgery.

How is brow lift surgery performed?

Modern brow lift surgery is performed with the aid of an endoscope, a tiny camera that allows Dr. Lo to view your underlying facial tissues. He works through 4-5 tiny incisions in the hairline, resulting in small scars that are small and well hidden. The procedure requires removal, remodeling, and repositioning of a few select tissues that reside in the brow area. The skin is then smoothed out and sutured in a slightly elevated location, to produce a natural, yet dramatically improved result.

How long does brow lift surgery take?

Surgery usually requires less than 2 hours in our surgical center or in-office surgical suite. To provide the most comfortable experience possible, we use local anesthesia with intravenous sedation. Brow lift recovery time is generally about 7 to 10 days. View our brow lift before & after photos to get a better understanding of this procedure.

Combining brow lift with other procedures

The aging process affects every patient in a slightly different way, so a different surgical approach may be required at times. To provide the best results, we will often combine a brow lift with eyelid surgery, a midface lift, or a skin resurfacing procedure.
