As you advance in age, your skin starts to lose its elasticity. You may also notice a change in the distance between your eyelids and eyebrows as gravity takes its toll. This sagging of the brows can make you look sad, tired, or even angry. A forehead lift (also called brow lift) can give you a more youthful appearance and a refreshed look.

What is A Brow Lift?

A brow lift goes by many names. It is also called a forehead lift, forehead rejuvenation, temporal lift, or browplasty. It is a surgical cosmetic procedure aimed at rejuvenating the forehead by correcting creases, smoothing frown lines, and repositioning sagging eyebrows. A brow lift can be combined with other procedures such as blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) and/or a facelift to improve the eyes and other areas of the face showing the signs of age.

Alternatives to forehead lift procedures may include:

  • Chemical peels used to reduce forehead lines and refresh the skin
  • Lifting your brows using Botox injections
  • Upper blepharoplasty to address eyelid sagging

Choosing a Surgeon for Your Brow Lift

Plastic surgery requires patients to make a number of choices. The most important decision you will make throughout the entire process, however, is selecting a trustworthy surgeon. 

Whether you live in Philadelphia, Princeton, or Yardley, it is crucial to find a surgeon who is board-certified by the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS). The surgeon must adhere to a strict code of ethics and operate in an accredited medical facility. This will ensure that he or she is trained and experienced in all facial plastic surgery procedures.

Once you find a qualified surgeon, you will meet with them for a consultation. This is your opportunity to find out more about the surgery and your candidacy. You’ll also have a chance to ask questions.

What You Should Know Before the Brow Lift Procedure

There are two main types of brow lifts. The traditional approach involves a long incision to directly access the muscles of the forehead. The endoscopic approach, on the other hand, involves making tiny incisions to elevate the forehead and the brows. The latter is the preferred method since it is less invasive.

Good Candidates for a Forehead Lift Procedure

There is no age limit for the forehead lift procedure, but most brow lift candidates range between the ages of 40 and 65. However, the procedure is occasionally performed on younger patients who require brow lifting. 

Prospective patients should be in good health and have realistic expectations for their results. The surgery will be tailored to suit their unique needs. 

For patients who wish to add other procedures to the brow lift surgery, such as Botox, fillers, or laser resurfacing, other requirements may apply. The surgeon will ensure that you are well informed in order to determine the best and safest procedures for you.

Good candidates for a forehead lift typically have the following complaints:

  • Sad, bored, or angry resting expression due to sagging brows
  • Frown lines between the eyes, making the central portion of the brow hang down
  • Drooping tissues making it difficult to apply makeup

The Brow Lift Procedure

For our skilled, board-certified surgeons at Becker Plastics in New Jersey, Philadelphia, Yardley, Princeton, and Voorhees, the forehead lift process involves the following steps:

Anesthesia for a Forehead Lift Surgery

After a final discussion with the surgeon, you will be given anesthesia. This ensures that you are comfortable during the entire process. The surgeon may provide local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the technique that will be used.

Forehead Lift Surgery

The incision type will depend on whether the brow lift is endoscopic or traditional. 

For an endoscopic brow lift, the surgeon will use a thin tube, which has a camera at the end. First, the surgeon will make several tiny incisions on your scalp, behind the hairline. After gaining access into the forehead muscles, they will insert an endoscope (a tiny camera) which guides the tube and the doctor’s movements. The tiny camera will provide visibility so the surgeon can lift the sagging areas.

A traditional brow lift involves a long incision across the forehead. It can be along the hairline or in one of the forehead creases. This lifts the skin away from the underlying tissues. The surgeon will then repair the muscles, remove excess skin, and stitch the brow into a new position.

There is also a limited incision technique, which is a combination of both procedures. It uses the coronal technique while making tiny incisions. The resulting scar is hidden in the hairline. This is possible even for balding patients. This procedure does not address the central forehead areas. However, it can reduce wrinkles such as crow’s feet.

The best forehead lifting technique for you depends on your facial features, signs of aging, and preferences. In any case, our goal is to help you achieve the best, most natural-looking results. Our surgeons tailor your procedure to suit your unique needs.

Patient Reviews

Brooke is literally AMAZING!!! Lemme put you on to THE aesthetician of Philly who (I’m not even just gassing) is quite literally the coolest person you’ll ever meet She talked me through the entire lip-filler process (cause I’m neurotic) & how there’s a difference between sticking filler in your lips vs. the creative beauty behind accentuating what’s already there with your natural features! She taught me about my natural Cupid’s bow and key hole (i learned what those are and that I even had them😂) And when I say this plump took 10 minutes MAX… 😍 she is a godsend. Very smart, very careful, very creative and VERY good at what she does!

Brow Lift Results and Recovery Process

After surgery, your surgeon will give you detailed instructions about post-surgical self-care. This may include potential complications to look out for and tips for incision care. 

After the procedure, there will be minimal pain and numbness. Swelling will be present initially. As the days and weeks go by, swelling and bruising will disappear. Cold compresses may help reduce swelling. The doctors will also advise you to limit vigorous exercise during the first few weeks

Although the recovery period may vary, you should expect this rough timeline:

  • Having sutures removed one week after surgery
  • Resuming light duties/driving within two weeks
  • Returning to your normal lifestyle within three weeks depending on the amount of physical exertion required

The final results will be visible after six months. By this time, the scalp and the hairline will have healed. The improvements in your forehead can last for many years.

Associated Forehead Lift Costs

The cost of a brow lift varies from one surgeon to another. It is also influenced by geographical location and the technique used. Becker Plastics, like most plastic surgery centers, offers affordable financing plans, since these costs are not covered by insurance.

Brow Lift FAQS

What are the crucial factors to consider when deciding whether to get a brow lift or not?

Although a brow lift is an outpatient procedure, it takes a number of weeks to heal and achieve the desired results. Therefore, you need to weigh the risks against the benefits before scheduling your procedure. That is, the recovery time and cost involved against the benefits such as boosting self-esteem and reducing signs of aging. In addition to this, our surgeons can help you determine the extent to which a brow lift will change your appearance.

How do I choose between a traditional lift and an endoscopic brow lift?

Comparing the two methods, the open brow lift is more invasive and dramatic. It creates much more swelling and numbness. However, it achieves a higher brow level compared to endoscopic. 
People who like higher brows sometimes choose the coronal process, but there are more risks involved. It is important to go through the pros and cons of each method before making a choice.
In Voorhees, the endoscopic brow lift is more common. This is because it offers an easier recovery process and results in a lower rate of complications. However, our excellent surgeons will discuss your options with you and help you choose the best procedure for your goals.

Does insurance cover brow lift?

Most health insurance plans in Philadelphia, Yardley, Voorhees, and Princeton do not cover brow lift surgery or any complications that may arise afterward. For this reason, it is important to ask your surgeon for information about the available financing plans.

What will forehead lift scars look like?

The scars will depend on the technique used. However, they will be well concealed. For the open technique, the scar will be across the scalp and hidden by the hairline. The endoscopic lift scars may include three incisions along the top of the scalp. They will be shorter in size. For the limited incisions, the scars will be hidden in the temporal hairline.
