A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is a popular procedure for those looking to correct forehead heaviness and brow drooping. As we age, the soft tissue of the forehead and brow may begin to descend. This can result in prominent forehead wrinkling and drooping of the brow, leading to a more aged appearance. In some cases, drooping of the brow is severe enough that it can cause vision problems. Those who want to correct these issues have the opportunity to undergo a brow lift procedure.

At Yamasaki Facial Plastic Surgery, Dr. Alisa Yamasaki has extensive experience performing this type of surgery and has helped numerous patients look their best again. Her expertise will guide you through every step– from consultation to post-operative care– so that you feel comfortable throughout the process.

What Is Brow Lift Surgery?

A brow lift is a cosmetic procedure that improves the appearance of the forehead, eyebrows, and eyelids by raising sagging brows, decreasing the heavy appearance of eyelids, and smoothening wrinkles on the forehead. During a brow lift procedure, Dr. Alisa Yamasaki will carefully reposition the skin and soft tissue of the forehead and brow to help rebalance the upper face. This provides a lift to the brow and eyes that can make a person appear brighter and more refreshed.

The goal of a brow lift is to create a balanced, natural-looking facial appearance without obvious signs of surgery. The technique used for a brow lift will depend on each individual patient’s needs. Dr. Yamasaki will discuss the options with you before the procedure. Regardless of technique, results are natural-looking and provide patients with a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance.

Brow Lift Surgery Benefits

At Yamasaki facial plastic surgery, Dr. Alisa Yamasaki’s expertise with brow lift procedures opens the eye area and rejuvenates the forehead in a subtle, natural-looking way. There are many aesthetic and functional benefits of a brow lift:

Aesthetic Benefits

Youthful Appearance

A brow lift can make the forehead and eye area appear smoother and more youthful by reducing wrinkles and lines.

Elevated Brows

A brow lift raises sagging or drooping eyebrows, which can help open up the eye area and create a more awake and refreshed look.

Enhanced Anatomy Around the Eyes

By lifting the brows, the procedure can reduce hooding of the upper eyelids, making the eyes look larger and more vibrant.

Reduction of Forehead Lines

It can smooth out horizontal forehead lines and vertical lines between the eyebrows (often referred to as “frown lines,” “eleven lines,” or “glabellar lines”).

Improved Facial Symmetry

The procedure can correct asymmetry in the eyebrows and forehead, providing a more balanced facial appearance.

Functional Benefits

Improved Vision

For some individuals, a brow lift can improve vision by lifting drooping eyebrows and eyelids that may obstruct the upper field of vision.

Reduced Eye Strain

Lifting the brows can alleviate the need to constantly raise the eyebrows to see better, reducing muscle strain and tension headaches.

Brow Lift Consultation

Brow lift surgery can be a great way to reverse the signs of aging and restore your youthful look. But it is important that you consult with an experienced surgeon who can evaluate your individual needs and discuss the necessary pre- and post-operative instructions with you.

Preparing for a brow lift surgery is an important step in ensuring the best possible outcome of your procedure. It is important to be aware of certain lifestyle and medication changes that can help you prepare for the surgery, enhance healing, and ensure the best possible results.

It is important to avoid anti-inflammatory medications such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and blood thinners. Hair treatments such as permanent dyes, perms, or straightening treatments should also be avoided for two weeks before the procedure and four weeks after surgery. Smoking is another lifestyle factor that must be addressed before considering a brow lift surgery.

Post-operative instructions such as keeping the head elevated and avoiding strenuous activities in the first week are essential for a successful recovery. Avoid lifting, bending, or any activity that could elevate your blood pressure.

At Yamasaki Facial Plastic Surgery in New Jersey & Philadelphia, Dr. Yamasaki will provide a comprehensive consultation tailored to your individual needs so that you can make an informed decision about whether this procedure is right for you.

The Ideal Candidate for a Brow Lift

If you are considering a brow lift and wondering if it is right for you, here are a few factors to keep in mind:

Skin Quality and Age

The ideal candidate for a brow lift will have good skin quality and elasticity. There is no standard age for undergoing a brow lift, though those with more noticeable brow drooping and forehead wrinkles will typically have the most dramatic results. Some younger patients may genetically have more heavy-set or lower brows, while other patients may develop this later in life.

Goals for Surgery

Patients should have a clear understanding of what will be achieved from a brow lift as well as realistic expectations for the outcome of surgery. The two primary goals of a brow lift surgery are to improve the natural positioning of your eyebrows and, in some cases, to remove excess skin from the forehead area to create a more youthful appearance.

Overall Health

In addition to having good skin quality and elasticity, brow lift candidates should generally be in good health before surgery for the best results.

At Yamasaki Facial Plastic Surgery in Princeton, Hillsborough, and Yardley, Dr. Alisa Yamasaki can help you decide whether a brow lift is right for you.

Comprehensive Healing Guidance

Brow Lift Recovery

Recovery times vary depending on your chosen procedure and how your body heals. Generally speaking, a brow lift can take two to four weeks to recover. Patients should expect a few days of discomfort, 1-2 weeks of potential bruising, and several weeks of swelling as they adjust to their new look and heal from the procedure.

Dr. Alisa Yamasaki will provide detailed post-op instructions to help manage any pain or discomfort. She also may prescribe antibiotics to prevent infection during healing and medication for swelling and bruising at the incision sites.

In addition to medications prescribed by Dr. Alisa Yamasaki, patients should also take care of themselves throughout the recovery process by avoiding strenuous activities and exercise for two weeks following surgery, icing the surgical sites, and keeping their head elevated while sleeping. Avoidance of sun exposure is recommended until all wounds have healed completely.

Types of Brow Lift Surgery

At Yamasaki facial plastic surgery, Dr. Alisa Yamasaki specializes in brow lifts and can determine the best technique for your needs. With her extensive experience and advanced training, you can look forward to achieving your desired outcome in a safe and comfortable environment.

Classic or Coronal Brow Lift

A classic or coronal brow lift involves an incision running from ear to ear along the hairline at of the forehead. This type of brow lift is ideal for those with extensive wrinkles, deep furrows between the eyebrows, or heavy brows requiring more dramatic results. Dr. Yamasaki uses this approach to tighten the skin across the forehead, resulting in a smooth and refreshed forehead and brow contour

Endoscopic Lift

An endoscopic brow lift is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that is performed to lift and rejuvenate the forehead and eyebrow area. The procedure involves making a series of small incisions behind the hairline, through which specialized instruments are used to gently secure the lifted tissue into a position that yields a more youthful appearance. This method uses shorter incisions compared to the classic brow lift.

Temporal Brow Lift

A temporal brow lift, also known as a lateral brow lift, is another minimally invasive procedure that can also be performed to elevate the sagging brow. In this procedure, two small incisions are made at each temple along the hairline, allowing access to key facial structures necessary for lifting the eyebrows into their desired position. In some patients, this type of brow lift may be performed in the office using local anesthesia but can also be done under general anesthesia when combined with other procedures.
