You mad, Bro? No, I just need a Brow Lift.

Brow lifts are sort of the forgotten cosmetic surgery. Everyone thinks of facelifts, nose jobs, eyelid surgery, breast augmentation or lifts, tummy tucks, and liposuction. Brow lift… not so much.

But when people ask you if you’re tired or angry all the time, it could be time to consider a brow lift.

Aging causes our tissues on the forehead and the eyebrows to sag and descend. This winds up creating a hood along the upper ridge of the eye, creating the tired or angry expression. A brow lift brings these tissues back up.

Types of brow lifts

Dr. Jones uses different brow lift techniques depending on the individual circumstances of each patient.

• Coronal brow lift — This is the traditional brow lift. An incision is made across the top of the scalp from ear to ear, very close to the hairline. The underlying muscles are tightened and excess skin removed, and the eyebrows are repositioned.

• Endoscopic brow lift — This uses small incisions along the forehead rather than one continuous one. An endoscope is used to see the tissues and muscle and to repair and trim where needed.

• Transpalpebral brow lift — An incision is made on the upper to correct frown lines between the eyebrows or on the top of the nose.

• Direct and Mid-Forehead brow lift — This technique, while the most direct, creates the most visible scarring, so is very rarely employed.
