What is a Brow Lift?

A Brow Lift, also known as a forehead lift, is a surgical procedure that elevates the position of the eyebrows, smooths the forehead, and reduces the appearance of wrinkles and frown lines. Dr. Cohen creates a subtle lift that revitalizes your entire upper face by addressing the underlying muscles and tissues that contribute to sagging and creasing. A Brow Lift in San Diego at FACES+ improves the position of the brows and enhances the overall harmony of your facial features, providing long-lasting and noticeable results.

A Brow Lift is a transformative cosmetic procedure designed to rejuvenate the upper third of the face by raising the forehead, brows, and the skin around the eyes.

Types of Brow Lifts—What’s Right for You?

At FACES+, Dr. Steven R. Cohen offers a variety of brow lift techniques. The type of surgery will reflect the extent of the corrections you need.

Endoscopic Brow Lift

The Endoscopic Brow Lift is a minimally invasive technique that uses small incisions hidden within the hairline. Dr. Cohen inserts an endoscope through these incisions—a tiny camera allowing precise visualization of the underlying tissues. This approach lifts the brows, smooths forehead wrinkles, and reduces frown lines, all while minimizing scarring and reducing recovery time.

Temporal (Limited Incision) Brow Lift

Also known as a lateral brow lift, the Temporal Brow Lift focuses on the outer part of the brows and forehead. This technique is ideal for patients who need a slight elevation of the brows or wish to address sagging in the outer corners of the eyes. The incisions are made within the hairline at the temples, allowing for a subtle lift that enhances the eye area without extensive surgery.

Coronal (Traditional) Brow Lift

The Coronal Brow Lift involves a longer incision across the scalp’s top, behind the hairline. This technique is particularly effective for patients with significant sagging in the brow area or those with deeper forehead furrows. A Coronal Brow Lift delivers dramatic, long-lasting results by lifting the entire forehead and repositioning the brows.

Hairline (Pretrichial) Brow Lift

For patients with a high forehead or receding hairline, the Hairline Brow Lift, also known as the Pretrichial Brow Lift, could be the best option. The incision is made along the natural hairline, allowing Dr. Cohen to lift the brows without raising the hairline further. This technique effectively addresses forehead creases and sagging brows while preserving the natural proportions of the face.

Each type of brow lift offers distinct advantages, and Dr. Cohen will work closely with you to determine the best approach for your individual needs. Whether you seek a subtle enhancement or a more significant transformation, the correct brow lift technique can help you achieve a more youthful and refreshed appearance.

After Your Brow Lift—What to Expect?

Following a Brow Lift, patients may experience swelling and bruising, which generally resolves within one to two weeks. You should be able to return to work or other activities within 10 to 14 days, with the results improving in the days and weeks following surgery. The outcome is a refreshed and rejuvenated upper face that enhances your natural beauty without looking overdone.

Brow Lift FAQ

Will a brow lift change my facial expressions?

A properly performed brow lift should enhance your natural expressions, not change them. A skilled surgeon like Dr. Cohen will focus on achieving a result that looks rejuvenated and natural while maintaining your ability to express emotions.

Can I get a brow lift at the same time as other facial surgeries?

Yes, many patients opt to have a brow lift combined with other procedures like facelifts, eyelid surgery, or neck lifts.

How can I tell if I need a brow lift or Botox?

If you have significant sagging skin above your eyes, a brow lift may be more appropriate to achieve a smoother, youthful appearance. On the other hand, Botox is effective for relaxing dynamic wrinkles and may be suitable for patients with minimal sagging.
