What Is a Brow Lift?
A brow lift is a facial plastic surgery procedure that elevates drooping eyebrows and reduces forehead wrinkles. The procedure addresses aging in the upper face area, creating a more alert, youthful expression while maintaining natural facial movement.
Dr. Fairchild specializes in a variety of brow lift techniques. Her advanced approach addresses underlying facial structures for longer-lasting results, while maintaining natural movement and avoiding an over-done look that can occur with other techniques.
Types of Brow Lift Procedures
Endoscopic Brow Lift
An endoscopic brow lift utilizes a tiny camera to guide the procedure, allowing for smaller incisions, making it a minimally invasive procedure. This technique reduces scarring and speeds recovery. Most patients experience less downtime compared to traditional methods. This technique works best for younger patients with good skin elasticity and mild to moderate brow drooping.
Temporal or Limited Incision Brow Lift
This approach targets only the outer brow area. It’s ideal for patients with mild to moderate brow drooping. Many patients combine this procedure with upper eyelid surgery for comprehensive upper face rejuvenation. Recovery is typically faster than full brow lifts.
Coronal Brow Lift
This comprehensive method addresses significant brow sagging through a single incision spanning across the top of the scalp. Dr. Fairchild uses this technique for patients needing substantial correction. Results are dramatic and long-lasting. This traditional approach provides the most comprehensive forehead rejuvenation for patients with advanced aging concerns.
Direct Brow Lift
With this method, the incisions are made directly above the eyebrows, which works well for patients with thick brows that can camouflage scars. Dr. Fairchild uses precise techniques to minimize visible scarring. Results are immediate and natural-looking. This approach is particularly effective for male or patients with deep forehead furrows who want precise brow positioning.
Benefits of a Brow Lift Surgery
A brow lift offers a refreshed appearance that can subtly transform the upper face for a more open, youthful, and relaxed look. Some of the most common benefits include:
- Rejuvenated eye area: Reduces heaviness on the upper eyelids and opens up the eyes
- Lifted brow position: Restores a more youthful, naturally elevated brow contour
- Smoother forehead: Softens deep forehead lines and frown lines between the brows
- Long-lasting results: Surgical brow lifts typically offer years of improvement
- Minimal scarring: Incisions are hidden within the hairline or natural contours of the face
- Natural expression: Modern techniques preserve your unique facial movement and personality
