Upper-face rejuvenation
A brow lift can address brow descent, upper-eyelid crowding and heaviness across the forehead. The objective is not to create a permanently surprised expression, but to improve position while preserving the patient’s natural character and asymmetry.
An endoscopic, temporal or other brow-lift approach may be considered depending on anatomy, hairline, forehead height and the area requiring correction. Upper blepharoplasty is assessed separately because removing eyelid skin does not correct every case of brow descent.
Candidates should be in appropriate health for elective surgery and have realistic expectations about symmetry, scar placement and the amount of lift possible. A high hairline, previous forehead surgery, hair loss, smoking and certain medical conditions can affect the recommended technique or whether surgery is advisable.
Temporary swelling, bruising, tightness, scalp numbness and altered brow movement can occur during early recovery. Incisions and fixation vary by technique. Possible complications include bleeding, infection, delayed healing, visible scarring, hair loss around an incision, asymmetry, sensory change and temporary or persistent weakness of facial nerve branches. These risks and alternatives are discussed individually.
Send relaxed front and side photographs, information about previous eyelid or brow procedures, injectable treatments and the changes you would like to discuss.
