When Should You Consider a Brow Lift?

Your eyebrows are one of the most expressive features on your face. Eyebrow motion adds inflection to the words you speak, and can underscore your other facial movements. Eyebrows signal your emotions, attention, confidence, happiness, and concentration – far more than most of us realize. When eyebrows have reached a lower position due to sagging facial skin, you may appear tired, angry, or unhappy. Lowered eyebrows can lead to premature furrows across the top of the nose, leading to a more aged facial appearance.

How a Brow Lift (Forehead Lift) Works

Our surgeons can help you stave off the obvious signs of aging and the drag of gravity by tightening the skin and tissue of the forehead to create a more youthful look to the upper face, upper eyelids, and eyebrow ridge. For the most aesthetic look, brows should be above your orbital rim with a lateral arch toward the outside corners of the eyes. For facial rejuvenation, a brow lift in Phoenix can give your face better balance and harmony and resolve one of the telltale signs of aging: a sagging brow. Dr. Marc Malek is a board-certified plastic surgeon in Scottsdale & Phoenix, and he is adept at determining what areas of the face need to be lifted or tightened in order to restore a youthful appearance. Working alongside him, Dr. Sam DeVictor, a board-certified facial plastic surgeon with advanced fellowship training, contributes specialized expertise in facial anatomy and rejuvenation. Together, they provide patients with comprehensive, natural-looking results that restore youthful balance and harmony.

What a Brow Lift Can Correct

A brow lift can revitalize and rejuvenate your entire face. This procedure can resolve the following eyebrow and forehead aesthetic issues:
- Sagging, drooping brows that give the upper face and eyes a hooded, sad appearance.
- Eyebrows that droop in the center, giving your face an angry appearance.
- Difficulties in applying makeup to the upper eyelid due to the weight of heavy tissue above.
- Deep horizontal creases on the forehead.
- “Concentration” lines between the eyebrows or at top of the nose.
- Visual impairment due to excess skin folds and/or fatty deposits.
- Flattened brow with no visible arch.

What is a brow lift?

A brow lift, also called a forehead lift, is a surgical procedure that raises and reshapes the eyebrows to create a more youthful look in the upper face. By lifting a low or sagging brow, it can replace a tired or sad appearance with a more rested, refreshed expression. Some patients also choose to have eyelid surgery at the same time for more complete rejuvenation around the eyes.

The cost of a brow lift depends on your individual treatment plan, including whether it is combined with eyelid surgery or another procedure. Your personalized cost is reviewed at your consultation. Financing options are available to help you plan for your procedure.

A brow lift is done by tightening the skin and tissue of the forehead to raise the brows into a more youthful position. Your surgeon first evaluates your brow position and facial balance, then plans a natural brow shape, typically with the brows above the bony rim around the eyes and a gentle arch toward the outer corners. The surgical approach and incision placement depend on your anatomy and are explained at your consultation.

How long brow lift results last varies from patient to patient, because your face continues to age naturally after surgery. A brow lift is intended to provide a lasting improvement in brow position, and factors such as your skin quality, age, and facial structure can influence how your results hold up over time. Your surgeon will explain what to expect at your consultation.

A brow lift can correct several signs of aging in the upper face. It can lift sagging brows that make the eyes look hooded or sad, raise brows that droop in the center and create an angry look, and soften deep horizontal forehead creases and lines between the eyebrows. It can also restore a flattened brow arch and help when heavy tissue above the eyes makes applying eye makeup difficult or impairs vision.

Recovery time after a brow lift varies from patient to patient. Swelling and bruising around the forehead and eyes are common at first and gradually improve as you heal, and keeping your head elevated and following your aftercare instructions can help with comfort. Your surgeon will explain when you can expect to return to work, exercise, and your usual routine at your consultation.
