What is a Full Brow Lift?

As we age, our skin naturally loses elasticity and firmness, causing it to wrinkle, crease, and sag. This is especially noticeable on the forehead, as your skin loses its resilient quality and becomes deeply creased, with the brows drifting below the brow bone, creating an unhappy, older appearance. A full brow lift is a cosmetic procedure to raise the soft tissue and skin on the forehead and brows. The surgery can produce a dramatic difference in your appearance, creating a more youthful, refreshed appearance.

What is the Brow Lift Procedure?

The most popular brow lift technique is called a “bicoronal technique.” The procedure involves placing a single incision from ear to ear across the scalp, within the hairline where it will be hidden once healed. The excess, sagging skin is removed, and the incision is closed. An alternative procedure involves making a small incision, less than 1 inch in the hairline and elevating the forehead with special instruments through this small “closed” approach. These techniques subtly lifts the brows for a more open, refreshed, approachable facial appearance. These result are subtle but dramatic, leaving you looking years younger and more vital.

Your Recovery

Following your procedure, you will have aftercare instructions to follow closely. Even though the pain will be minimal, you will have prescription pain medication to keep you comfortable in the first stage of healing. You must avoid strenuous exercise or activities for two weeks or longer and must avoid lifting anything heavy for a few weeks. You should expect to be fully healed and able to return to work and other activities in about two to three weeks, based on your healing time. You will have several post-op appointments with Dr. Sofonio, who will monitor your progress throughout your recovery.

Benefits of a Brow Lift

  • Opening Up the Eyes: By lifting the brows, the procedure can make the eyes appear larger and more open, enhancing their natural beauty and expressiveness.
  • Long-Lasting Results: Brow lift surgery offers long-lasting improvements, with many patients enjoying their rejuvenated appearance for years before any touch-ups are needed.
  • Reduction of Frown Lines: A brow lift smooths deep frown lines between the eyebrows, providing a more relaxed and approachable facial expression.
  • Natural-Looking Results: Modern brow lift techniques are designed to produce subtle, natural-looking results that enhance your appearance without making it look overdone or artificial.

What Will I Look Like After a Brow Lift?

After your Palm Spring brow lift, you can expect noticeable results once the incision has healed. The forehead and brow line will be lifted and smoothed, creating a more youthful appearance. You’ll have less worries about a furrowed brow or noticeable forehead lines when your face is in a resting position. Scars are minimal and hidden within the hairline. Your face will appear more youthful and refreshed.

Combined Anti-Aging Facial Treatments

Many patients wish to enhance the appearance of their entire face, as wrinkles and other signs of aging affect more than just the forehead and brows. Our team can help you build an effective treatment plan to ensure we can accomplish the results you want. To achieve maximum results, a full brow lift is often combined with other cosmetic procedures, such as:

  • Facelift: A facelift can help address the visible signs of aging, including the loss of muscle tone, sagging skin, double chin, and deep under-eye creases.
  • Neck Lift: A neck lift will help you achieve a slimmer neck and appear younger. The procedure removes excess fat and sagging skin around the neck.
  • Eyelid Lift: An eyelid lift can be performed on the upper and lower eyelids to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles around the eyes and remove excess skin around the eyelids.

Brow Lift FAQs

Will I have visible scars after surgery?

Dr. Sofonio strategically places incisions within the hairline or natural creases of the forehead to minimize visible scarring. Over time, any scars typically fade and become barely noticeable.

How long do the results last?

Brow lift results are long-lasting, often maintaining a more youthful look for 10 years or more. While the aging process continues, most patients enjoy a permanent improvement in brow position and upper facial expression.

How should I prepare for brow lift surgery?

Before surgery, you’ll receive detailed instructions, including which medications or supplements to avoid. You may be asked to stop smoking and arrange for someone to drive you home and assist you for the first 24 hours after surgery.

Will I still look like myself after a brow lift?

Yes. A well-performed brow lift enhances your natural features without making you look “overdone” or surprised. Dr. Sofonio takes a conservative, artistic approach to ensure you look like a refreshed version of yourself.
