A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is one of the simplest and most common procedures to fight the visible signs of aging. The muscles and skin on the forehead begin to lose elasticity with age, which causes drooping and furrowing. A brow lift works by smoothing out lines and lifting sagging skin. This procedure can be done endoscopically (3-5 half-inch cuts in the top of the scalp) or trans-coronally (an incision from one ear to the other across the top of the head, hidden in the hair).

General Recovery Information: The recovery period after a brow lift greatly depends on the procedure, so discuss recovery timing with your surgeon. Patients will typically experience mild pain and numbness, but these symptoms are easily treated with medication. Doctors often recommend keeping the head elevated for several days after the procedure to reduce swelling. You will want to take it easy for a few days, and avoid strenuous physical activity for a week. Most of our brow lift patients take a week or two off work to recover.
