What is a Brow Lift?
A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is a surgical procedure that elevates and reshapes the brow area to create a more youthful and refreshed appearance. This procedure specifically targets the upper third of the face, addressing concerns such as a heavy or drooping brow, horizontal forehead wrinkles, frown lines between the eyebrows, and hooding over the eyes.
The brow lift procedure begins with carefully placed incisions, typically hidden within or just behind the hairline to ensure minimal visible scarring. The exact location and pattern of these incisions will depend on the specific technique used for your procedure.
Types of Brow Lift Techniques
Dr. Hardaway offers several approaches to brow lift surgery, each tailored to address different concerns and achieve optimal results:
- Endoscopic Brow Lift: This minimally invasive surgery technique uses a small camera (endoscope) inserted through tiny incisions in the scalp. This advanced approach allows Dr. Hardaway to visualize and access the underlying tissues while minimizing scarring and recovery time. During the procedure, small instruments are used to release and reposition the tissues, elevating the brow to a more youthful position.
- Temporal Brow Lift: This technique focuses on lifting the outer portions of the eyebrows through incisions made along each temple, just behind the hairline. It’s particularly effective for addressing drooping in the lateral (outer) brow area and can be combined with other facial procedures for comprehensive rejuvenation.
- Coronal Brow Lift: Though less commonly used today, this traditional approach involves an incision running from ear to ear across the top of the head, hidden within the hair. This technique allows for significant repositioning of the forehead tissues and is sometimes recommended for patients with extensive brow drooping or deep forehead wrinkles.
The procedure typically takes 1-2 hours and is performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. During surgery, Dr. Hardaway carefully elevates the skin and underlying tissues, removes or alters portions of muscles that cause furrows and frown lines, and secures the brow in a higher, more youthful position. The result is a smoother forehead, elevated eyebrows, and a more open, refreshed appearance to the eyes.
Benefits of Brow Lift Surgery: Facial Rejuvenation and Wrinkle Reduction
A brow lift does more than just raise your eyebrows—it can refresh your entire appearance and help you look more rested, approachable, and youthful. As we age, the brow tends to droop, which can cause a tired, angry, or sad look that doesn’t reflect how you feel. A brow lift corrects this, giving you a brighter, more open expression.
The procedure smooths forehead wrinkles and softens frown lines between the eyebrows, creating long-lasting results that go beyond what non-surgical treatments can offer. It also helps lift the brow away from the upper eyelids, making your eyes appear larger and more awake—without needing eyelid surgery.
Dr. Hardaway customizes each brow lift to complement your natural features, creating balanced, gender-appropriate results. Many patients not only love how they look afterward but also feel more confident and in tune with how they truly feel inside.For more complete facial rejuvenation, a brow lift can be combined with other treatments like eyelid surgery, a facelift, or non-surgical options such as Botox or fillers. Dr. Hardaway can guide you through the best options during your consultation.
Minimally Invasive Brow Lift: Advanced Techniques in Plastic Surgery
At Aesthetic Plastic Surgery & Laser Center, we offer advanced, minimally invasive brow lift procedures designed to refresh your appearance with less downtime and scarring. Dr. Michelle Hardaway specializes in the latest techniques, including endoscopic and temporal brow lifts, to help you achieve natural, youthful results.
The endoscopic brow lift is a modern approach that uses tiny incisions hidden in the hairline and a small camera to guide the procedure. This means less swelling, faster recovery, and minimal visible scarring. It gently lifts the brow, smooths wrinkles, and opens the eye area for a more rested look.
For patients with sagging mostly at the outer corners of the brow, a temporal brow lift may be the ideal option. This technique uses small incisions near the temples and can be combined with eyelid surgery for a more complete rejuvenation.
If you’re not quite ready for surgery, Dr. Hardaway also offers non-surgical options like Botox, fillers, and skin-tightening treatments that can subtly lift and refresh the brow area. Whatever your goals, Dr. Hardaway will personalize your treatment plan to ensure the best possible results with the least amount of recovery.
Anti-Aging Procedures: Combining Brow Lift with Dermatological Treatments
At Aesthetic Plastic Surgery & Laser Center, we offer a comprehensive approach to facial rejuvenation by combining brow lift surgery with advanced dermatological treatments. While a brow lift can dramatically refresh the upper face, pairing it with other non-surgical options often delivers the most natural and balanced results.
Dr. Michelle Hardaway takes a holistic view of aging—understanding that lifting sagging skin is just one part of the picture. To enhance and maintain your brow lift results, she may recommend treatments like:
- Botox® or Dysport®: These neuromodulators relax facial muscles that cause expression lines, helping to smooth the forehead and prevent new wrinkles.
- Dermal fillers: Used to restore lost volume in areas like the temples or under the eyes, fillers can add softness and contour for a more youthful look.
- Laser resurfacing or chemical peels: These treatments improve skin tone and texture, reduce fine lines, and boost collagen for firmer, healthier-looking skin.
- Medical-grade skincare: Customized regimens can help you maintain results with products that support hydration, collagen production, and skin renewal.
Dr. Hardaway will tailor a treatment plan just for you, combining surgical and non-surgical options to address all areas of facial aging. The goal is simple: to help you look refreshed, natural, and confident—like the best version of yourself.
