BROW AND FOREHEAD LIFT

A brow and forehead lift will treat the common signs of aging on the upper section of the face. It is performed to reduce or remove profound horizontal wrinkles, sagging skin, excess fatty tissues, and unsightly furrows that can leave you looking tired, grumpy, or frustrated. It can also reduce issues in the eye area that contribute to an aged appearance, such as droopy upper eyelids.

BEFORE & AFTER

WHAT IS A BROW LIFT?

A heavy, drooping brow can create an aged or tired appearance, and in some cases, even obstruct vision. Dr. Jacob Sedgh, a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon, offers advanced brow lift surgery in West Hollywood, designed to rejuvenate the upper face by lifting the brows, smoothing forehead wrinkles, and creating a more youthful and alert expression. With a meticulous approach and an artist’s eye, Dr. Sedgh helps patients achieve natural-looking results that enhance their facial harmony.

BROW AND FOREHEAD LIFT

DO YOU HAVE A HEAVY, DROOPING BROW?

As we age, the skin on the forehead and brow can lose elasticity, leading to sagging brows and deep forehead lines. Dr. Sedgh’s brow lift procedure can effectively address the following concerns:

  • Heavy or Drooping Eyebrows: Restores a youthful arch to sagging brows.
  • Asymmetrical Brows: Creates symmetry for a balanced, harmonious look.
  • Obstructed Vision: Lifts brows and upper eyelids to improve the field of vision.
  • Wrinkled Forehead: Smooths horizontal lines and frown lines between the brows.

Dr. Sedgh’s technique focuses on achieving natural, balanced results in brow and eyelid procedures while maintaining the integrity of each patient’s unique facial features.

WHAT IS THE PROCEDURE LIKE?

A brow and forehead lift is performed using several different methods: coronal, endoscopic, trichophytic, temporal, direct, and trans-blepharoplasty. The best method for you will depend on various factors, including age, gender, skin texture, forehead length, hair loss pattern, and degree of drooping. Dr. Sedgh will also consider your facial symmetry and other features, as his aesthetic philosophy is centered around creating harmony with the rest of the face to achieve a graceful, natural appearance.

WHICH METHOD IS RIGHT FOR YOU?

While all these methods can achieve excellent results, it is important to take individual factors into account to ensure the quality and longevity of the outcome. A brow and forehead lift normally takes up to two hours to complete, but will still depend on the techniques used and the severity of your case.

Open Approach

The open approach consists of several techniques, including coronal, trichophytic, temporal, and direct brow lift. It is usually accomplished by creating a long incision from one ear to the other, either along the hairline or within the creases of the forehead. The skin will then be removed or adjusted to achieve the desired results.

Endoscopic Approach

An endoscopic brow lift starts with short scalp incisions behind the hairline. An endoscope—a small pencil-like camera—will then be inserted into one of the incisions to examine the tissues and facial muscles. Special instruments will also be inserted to lift the skin carefully and to make the necessary alterations.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO RECOVER FROM A FOREHEAD LIFT?

A brow and forehead lift is usually performed as an outpatient procedure, so you will need someone to drive you and assist you after the surgery. If you are not a Los Angeles resident and are traveling alone, Dr. Sedgh’s office can also arrange for a private aftercare nurse. The downtime will depend on the technique used, as well as other individual factors. But generally, it should take about one to two weeks to be socially presentable.
Tiredness, numbness, swelling, and bruising are some of the side-effects you could experience after the procedure. Any discomfort can be managed with prescribed medication, and your healing should proceed smoothly if you follow the prescribed aftercare instructions. You should be able to return to most of your daily activities in a week, barring any strenuous activities for at least two weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the difference between an open brow lift and an endoscopic brow lift?
The open brow lift involves a longer incision across the forehead or along the hairline, allowing for precise adjustments, while the endoscopic brow lift uses small incisions and a camera to visualize tissues. Dr. Sedgh will recommend the best technique based on your anatomy and goals.

How long does recovery take for a brow lift?
Initial recovery generally takes one to two weeks, with most patients returning to regular activities within a week. Full healing may take a few weeks, depending on the technique and individual factors.

Will there be visible scars after a brow lift?
Dr. Sedgh places incisions strategically within natural folds or along the hairline, making scars minimally visible. Scarring typically fades over time and is inconspicuous.

Can a brow lift improve vision?
In cases where sagging brows or upper eyelids obstruct vision, a brow lift can elevate the brows and eyelids, improving the field of vision.

Are virtual consultations available for out-of-town patients?
Yes, Dr. Sedgh offers virtual consultations and can assist with travel arrangements, including accommodations and aftercare services.
