Rejuvenate Your Look with a Brow Lift

A brow lift is a cosmetic procedure designed to elevate the brows, smooth forehead lines, and reduce sagging that can create a tired or aged appearance. By lifting and reshaping the brow area, this procedure restores a more youthful, refreshed look to the face while maintaining natural facial expressions. Whether you’re experiencing drooping brows or deep furrows, our skilled surgeon's brow lift in San Diego, CA, can customize your treatment to achieve balanced, natural-looking results.

Signs of Aging and the Brow Lift Solution

  • Early Aging Signs in the Upper Face: One of the earliest signs of aging manifests in the upper face with those tell-tale stress and worry lines and wrinkles. These unwelcome guests contribute to a tired, distressed, or even angry look, robbing individuals of their youthful vibrancy.
  • The Brow Lift, alternatively known as a "forehead lift," is designed to address these signs of aging. By raising the eyebrows back to the original position and smoothing out deep wrinkles, the procedure breathes new life into your appearance. The tired, sad, or angry look transforms into a rejuvenated, refreshed, younger-looking visage.

Multiple Techniques, One Exceptional Result

Conventional Surgical Method

The traditional surgical approach for brow lifts involves an incision hidden just behind the hairline, providing access for comprehensive rejuvenation.

Discover the Endoscopic Method at Changes Plastic Surgery & Spa

Embracing innovation, our skilled surgeons commonly opt to perform the endoscopic brow lift. During your procedure, a small camera (the endoscope) is placed through ultra-small incisions behind the hairline to assist your doctor in lifting the brows. This ensures virtually unnoticeable scars while providing the same great result with minimal downtime.

The Temporal Brow Lift

The temporal browlift—also known as the lateral brow lift—is another technique offered at Changes Plastic Surgery. With this technique, the incision from your brow lift will be hidden in the temporal region, just behind the hairline, enabling your surgeon to laterally lift your brow and create your desired result. This technique is perfect for those whose medial brow is in a good position but needs their lateral brow elevated. This technique may reduce discomfort and accelerate the recovery process, which all leads to a superior experience for our patients.

Your Brow Lift and More: The Ultimate Aesthetic Achievement Have you considered combining procedures for enhanced results?

A Brow Lift at Changes Plastic Surgery & Spa often complements other procedures for a harmonious overall appearance. It may be performed in conjunction with a facelift to provide a smoother look to the entire face. Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, can also be considered simultaneously, especially for those with significant upper eyelid skin overhang.

A Time-Tested Approach The Classic Forehead Lift

  • Incision Technique: An incision is made behind or at the hairline, ensuring minimal visibility of scars.  This incision provides the surgeon access to lift the skin, modify or release forehead muscles, elevate eyebrows, and trim excess skin for a rejuvenated appearance.
  • Closure and Dressing: The incision is meticulously closed with stitches or clips, and your Changes surgeon may opt for gauze padding and an elastic bandage to aid in the healing process.

Minimally Invasive Excellence The Endoscopic Forehead Lift

  • Incision Precision: Embracing a minimally invasive approach, the endoscopic forehead lift involves several tiny scalp incisions, each less than half an inch. An endoscope is utilized for a clear view of underlying tissues and muscles, allowing the surgeon to make extremely precise alterations to the underlying tissues.
  • Closure and Healing: After the lift is complete, the scalp incisions are closed with stitches or clips, promoting swift healing and minimal scarring.

Brow Lift Recovery: What to Expect

Recovery from a brow lift is typically smooth, with most patients resuming light activities within a few days. Swelling and bruising are common as with most cosmetic surgeries, but gradually subside over one to two weeks. Sutures are usually removed within 7 to 10 days, and most patients feel comfortable returning to work after one to two weeks. While full healing may take a few months, results continue to improve as swelling resolves, revealing a refreshed, natural look.

Brow Lift FAQ

Will a brow lift change my facial expressions?

A properly performed brow lift enhances your natural expressions without altering your facial identity. The goal is to look refreshed, not surprised or “overdone.” Choosing an experienced surgeon is critical for achieving natural results.

What are the risks of a brow lift?

While generally safe, potential risks include infection, scarring, nerve injury (leading to temporary or permanent numbness), hairline changes, asymmetry, and dissatisfaction with results. These risks are minimized by selecting a skilled, board-certified plastic surgeon.

Can a brow lift be combined with other procedures?

Yes, a brow lift is often combined with procedures like blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), facelift, or Botox to address multiple signs of aging and achieve a harmonious appearance. Your surgeon can customize a plan based on your goals.

Will a brow lift make my forehead look tighter?

No, a brow lift is designed to elevate the brows gently and smooth the forehead without creating a “tight” or unnatural appearance. A skilled surgeon will aim for subtle, balanced results.

How long does a brow lift last?

A brow lift’s results typically last 10-15 years or longer, depending on factors such as age, skin quality, and lifestyle. Protecting your skin with sunscreen and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can extend the longevity of your results.

Is a brow lift painful?

Discomfort is typically mild and manageable with prescribed or over-the-counter pain medication. Most patients experience tightness or mild soreness rather than severe pain, but resolves during the recovery process.

Will a brow lift fix hooded eyelids?

A brow lift can help reduce heaviness on the upper eyelids, but in some cases, an eyelid lift (blepharoplasty) may be recommended for optimal results.

At what age should I consider a brow lift?

There is no specific age requirement, but most patients seek a brow lift in their 40s to 60s when signs of aging become more noticeable.

How do I know if I need a brow lift or Botox?

Botox is ideal for mild forehead wrinkles and temporary lifting, while a brow lift provides a more dramatic and long-lasting elevation for sagging brows. A consultation can help determine the best option for you.
