What Is a Brow Lift?

The lower position of the brows and eyelids that often comes with aging can make you appear older than you are, as well as angry or tired. A brow lift or forehead lift is a surgical procedure for men and women that lifts the skin on the forehead and helps reduce these and other concerns, such as deep lines and wrinkles. Additionally, a brow lift in San Luis Obispo County can sometimes improve cosmetic concerns that are not associated with aging, such as hooded eyelids and high foreheads.

It is important to note that, unlike a complete facelift, a forehead lift only addresses the upper portion of the face and does not target the jawline, midface, or neck. Additionally, those with more advanced drooping of the eyelids may benefit from a blepharoplasty or eyelid lift in combination with a brow lift.

Brow Lift Candidates

During your consultation with Dr. Chalekson, he will examine your unique qualities, listen to your needs, and recommend the best solution to deliver optimal results. You might be a suitable candidate for a brow lift if you have:

  • Low eyebrow position
  • Droopy upper eyelids
  • Eyebrow asymmetry
  • Forehead wrinkles

Other factors that will play a role in your candidacy include overall physical health, having realistic expectations of surgical results, and whether or not you are a smoker.

The Brow Lift Procedure

There are several different techniques that might be used to perform a brow or forehead lift. The procedure can frequently be performed through an upper eyelid incision, which can also be performed with an upper eyelid lift (blepharoplasty). Other methods include incisions within the scalp or scalp edge. The surgical techniques that are utilized for your San Luis Obispo County forehead lift will depend on your aesthetic needs and facial anatomy.

Like any other surgical treatment, the brow lift procedure requires appropriate time to heal. During this period, you will probably notice some swelling and bruising that will typically begin to diminish after a week. Maintaining an elevated face even when sleeping can help reduce the swelling further.

It is important to arrange for appropriate time to rest and recover. This might include having someone to help you around the house with daily tasks for the first few days. You should also avoid strenuous activity and exercise until you are cleared to do so. Our team will schedule follow-up visits to ensure you are healing properly.
