Brow Lift Surgery
What Is a Brow Lift Surgery?
A brow lift is a surgical procedure designed to reposition the eyebrows to a more youthful and natural position. As we age, the tail of the brow (the outer one-third) tends to descend, creating a tired or heavy appearance around the eyes. A brow lift raises and repositions the brows in a diagonal direction, restoring a more refreshed and natural look.
Achieving natural-looking results is key in brow lift surgery. A well-executed brow lift never raises the brows straight up or vertically, as this can create an unnatural or surprised look. Instead, the goal is to subtly lift the brows outward and upward to enhance facial balance while maintaining a relaxed, natural expression.
Am I a good candidate for brow lift surgery?
You may benefit from a brow lift if you experience any of the following:
✔︎ Drooping of the outer part of your eyebrows, giving your eyes a tired or aged look.
✔︎ Deep forehead wrinkles or horizontal lines.
✔︎ Heaviness in the upper eyelid area due to a low brow position.
✔︎ Want to enhance the results of an upper eyelid surgery (Upper Blepharoplasty).
During a consultation, Dr. Babak Maleki will evaluate your brow position, facial anatomy, and hairline to determine whether Brow Lift alone, or Brow lift in combination with Upper Blepharoplasty is the best approach for you.
If you’re thinking of having Brow Lift, here’s what you need to know.
Dr. Maleki specializes in two types of Brow Lifts:
➊ Temporal (or endoscopic) Brow Lift
- Performed through a hidden incision within the hairline in the temples.
- Ideal for patients with normal to lower hairlines.
- Subtly lifts the outer (lateral) brow for a natural, youthful appearance.
- Minimal visible scarring.
➋ Direct Brow Lift
- Performed through an incision directly above the eyebrows.
- Recommended for patients with a high (receding) hairline
- Offers a more powerful lift, making it suitable for those with significant brow descent.
- May leave a more visible scar, especially in individuals with thin or sparse eyebrows.
Can a Brow Lift Be Combined with Other Procedures?
Yes! A brow lift can be performed as a standalone procedure or in combination with Upper Blepharoplasty (eyelid lift). Combining these procedures enhances the overall rejuvenation of the eyes, creating a more open, youthful, and refreshed appearance.
Duration and Recovery
✔ Both these procedures typically take 30 to 60 minutes per eyebrow and can be done under local anesthesia with IV sedation for maximum comfort.
✔ Patients can go home the same day with post-operative care instructions.
✔ Mild swelling and bruising typically subside within 7-10 days.
✔ Stitches are removed in 7-9 days Most patients return to normal activities within 2 weeks.
✔ Full results become apparent over 6-12 months
