What Is A Brow Lift?

As individuals age, the tissues surrounding the eyebrows and forehead often weaken and lose their elasticity, leading to sagging skin and the development of wrinkles and creases.

This can create a fatigued or stressed look. When performed properly, a brow lift can successfully rejuvenate these areas of the face, resulting in a more youthful and refreshed appearance.

Am I A Good Candidate For A Brow Lift?

If you're looking to refresh the appearance of your forehead and are unhappy with how you look, a brow lift in NYC with Dr. White could help you achieve your aesthetic goals. Dr. White emphasizes the importance of having realistic expectations, as the results can vary from person to person. He may suggest this procedure if you experience:

  • Low or sagging eyebrows
  • A constantly sad or unhappy expression
  • Deep forehead creases
  • Frown lines
  • Furrows between the eyebrows
  • Excess skin that hangs over your eyes

If you recognize any of these signs of aging and want to rejuvenate the skin on your forehead and around your eyes for a more youthful look, a brow lift may be the right solution for you. We encourage you to schedule a consultation with Dr. White today to determine your candidacy and start planning your procedure.

Brow Lift Procedure

Brow lift procedures are usually performed on an outpatient basis. Dr. White typically conducts the surgery using a local anesthetic combined with a sedative, ensuring you are comfortable throughout the operation. Depending on your specific signs of aging and cosmetic goals, he will choose one of two techniques.

Endoscopic Brow Lift

This method involves using an endoscope to operate through very small incisions made along the hairline, which keeps any scarring hidden and virtually undetectable.

Dr. White lifts the forehead skin with the endoscope, removes excess tissue, and tightens loose muscles. The result is a higher brow position and a smooth, refreshed appearance.

Traditional Brow Lift

This is a more extensive procedure. It requires a single long incision across the forehead, also concealed within the hairline. This approach allows Dr. White to lift the skin to smooth out wrinkles and reposition the brows for a more youthful look. Generally, this technique is recommended for patients dealing with more advanced wrinkles and sagging skin, while the endoscopic method is often suitable for those with earlier signs of aging.

If you're considering addressing concerns below the forehead, you might benefit from additional procedures such as rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery, a facelift, or a neck lift in combination with a brow lift.

Brow Lift Recovery And Results

It's normal to experience some swelling and bruising after your procedure, which should gradually subside within the first week. Sutures are usually removed one to two weeks after surgery.

To promote a healthy recovery:

  • Keep your head elevated while resting during the initial weeks
  • Avoid exercising and other strenuous activities, as these can prolong the healing process

Many patients find that they feel presentable and ready to return to their normal daily routines after about seven to ten days. As a leading provider of brow lifts in NYC, Dr. Matthew White maintains close communication with his patients to ensure a smooth healing process.

During your initial brow lift consultation, Dr. White will provide a comprehensive explanation of the procedure and address any questions you may have. He will collaborate with you to create a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your goals.

What Are The Risks Associated With A Brow Lift?

The most common complications associated with a brow lift include:

  • An adverse reaction to anesthesia
  • Infection
  • Hair loss around the incision site
  • Decreased ability to move forehead muscles post-surgery
  • Noticeable scarring

Dr. White is highly attentive to these potential risks during the brow lift procedure and takes every measure to mitigate them. Thanks to his advanced surgical techniques, complications are extremely rare in his practice. His patients typically leave the operating room safe and healthy, with minimal scarring and full mobility in their forehead muscles.
