Brow Lift in Houston, TX

A brow lift is a surgical procedure that we can do to improve the appearance of the forehead, eyebrows and upper eyelids. The goal of a brow lift is to address sagging brows, forehead wrinkles and drooping eyelids.

Benefits

A brow lift can be a powerful way to rejuvenate the forehead and the eyes. It can give you a refreshed look. It can help reduce forehead wrinkles and help raise drooping eyebrows and eyelids. This can help both cosmetically and functionally as drooping brows and eyelids can partially obstruct your visual fields.

Treatment Areas

The precise areas targeted depend on your individual aging characteristics and your desired areas for improvement. A brow lift can improve the appearance of the forehead, the position of the eyebrows and can also improve the amount of redundant upper eyelid skin. In many cases, a blepharoplasty, or excision of redundant eyelid skin, can enhance the results of a brow lift as well.

Surgery/Treatment Process

There are several approaches to a brow lift, the most common ones are an endoscopic brow lift and a temporal brow lift since these approaches involve more smaller incisions. Once the incisions are made, the surgeon will lift and reposition the underlying muscles and tissues to achieve a smoother, more youthful appearance. Excess skin may be removed and the remaining skin is tightened.

Am I a Candidate?

We recommend coming in for an in person consultation so that we can perform a comprehensive exam to suggest a treatment option that is appropriate for you.

Recovery Process/Downtime

Most people can return to normal activities a couple weeks after surgery but your downtime will depend on the approach used and specific type of brow lift that is done. If other procedures are also done simultaneously, your recovery time may be extended.

How Long do Results Last?

The results of a brow lift can last for 5-10 years but this will vary on the type of brow lift done, your aging process, skin type and condition, lifestyle and genetics.

Cost

The cost of a brow lift will vary based on the type of brow lift done and whether any other procedures are performed.

Risk/Side Effects

There are risks to brow lift as there are for any surgical procedure. These include bleeding, infection, bruising, scarring, numbness, asymmetry, injury to the facial nerve and hair loss where the incisions were performed.
