A brow lift, sometimes referred to as a forehead lift, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to elevate the brows, reduce forehead wrinkles, and correct drooping upper eyelids. A brow lift may be performed using different techniques depending on your needs and goals. Dr. Dunn offers both traditional brow lifts and endoscopic brow lifts. The traditional method involves a longer incision hidden within the hairline, while the endoscopic technique uses smaller incisions and specialized tools for a less invasive approach. The purpose of a brow lift is to restore a refreshed, youthful appearance to the upper face.
On the day of your brow lift, Dr. Dunn will ensure you are comfortable and fully informed about the procedure. After anesthesia is administered, Dr. Dunn will make the necessary incisions—either along the hairline or using small, strategically placed incisions for the endoscopic method. He then carefully adjusts the underlying tissues and muscles are then adjusted to lift the brow and smooth the forehead. The skin is redraped, with any excess skin removed before the incisions are closed. The brow lift procedure typically takes between one and two hours.
For patients seeking more comprehensive rejuvenation, a brow lift can be performed in combination with blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) or other procedures tailored to your needs.
