Brow Lift Beverly Hills

As we age, the forehead begins to sag and wrinkle, and as a result, the eyebrows hang lower over time. We may notice when we look in the mirror that this not only ages us, but it can also make us appear exhausted, grumpy, sad, or otherwise unhappy––even when we are feeling perfectly fine! Drooping brows can also impair vision, interfering with our line of sight.

To address this common concern, Dr. Michelle Lee, founder of PERK plastic surgery, performs brow lifts in Beverly Hills to help patients restore their youthful, friendly appearance.

What Is a Brow Lift?

A brow lift is a rejuvenating surgery that targets drooping skin and other age-related changes along the brow line and lateral eye. This surgery can achieve a more “rested”, youthful appearance by lifting drooping tissues and smoothing deep lines and wrinkles. It can also help to create the trendy "foxy eye" look made famous by celebrities such as Bella Hadid and Kendall Jenner. The goal of a brow lift is to achieve a noticeable yet natural-looking enhancement, resulting in a more youthful and refreshed appearance.

Who Is a Candidate for a Brow Lift in Beverly Hills?

Candidates for a brow lift in Beverly Hills may be younger or older patients who have a heavy, furrowed brow or lines in the forehead and around the eyes. Ideal candidates should meet the following criteria:

What Are the Techniques Used in a Brow Lift in Beverly Hills?

Dr. Lee will discuss different brow lift procedure options based on your aesthetic concerns and goals, including your natural brow position, hairline, sagging skin severity, and desired appearance goals. Together, you will choose the best brow lift method for you, including one or more of the following:

LATERAL BROW LIFT

The lateral or temporal lift softens crow’s feet and lifts sagging in the outer brow areas. An incision is made slightly above the temples within the hairline, and the outer brow tissues are raised for a more youthful effect. This procedure is often performed at the same time as a facelift.

TRICHOPHYTIC INCISION

The trichophytic brow lift is ideal for patients with a lower hair loss or hairline recession risk. The procedure involves an incision along the hairline, providing a more dramatic lift.

ENDOSCOPIC BROW LIFT

This procedure involves small incisions inside the hairline, through which an endoscope is inserted to internally reposition the brow tissues for a youthful, lifted effect.

TRANSPALPEBRAL BROW LIFT

This procedure makes incisions through the upper eyelid, allowing Dr. Lee to treat the central and lower forehead muscles for a dramatic rejuvenation and lift.

CORONAL BROW LIFT

A longer incision is made along the hairline in this procedure to reposition the brow tissues for a smooth, dramatically lifted brow. The hairline can also be moved forward if desired.

What Happens During the Brow Lift Procedure?

In most cases, brow lift is done under sedation with local anesthesia. Depending on the type of brow lift you’re having, Dr. Lee will make the incisions in the hairline, then lift and tighten the skin and tissues in order to gently elevate the brow. Once the brow tissue has been repositioned, the skin is carefully anchored in place with sutures.

What Is Recovery Like After a Brow Lift?

After your brow lift in Beverly Hills, there will be bruising and swelling, lasting 10 to 14 days. Keep your head elevated and sleep as upright as possible to help minimize swelling. You will experience some soreness and itching as you heal. Follow Dr. Lee’s aftercare instructions to improve and speed your healing, and to limit the risk of complications.

Patients are usually able to return to sedentary work within a few days to a week, but be sure to avoid any strenuous activities until you have clearance from Dr. Lee––usually within 3-4 weeks after your procedure.

What Procedures Can Be Combined With a Brow Lift?

Combining other procedures with brow lift surgery can achieve a more harmonious and dramatic facial rejuvenation. Complementary surgeries that Dr. Lee typically combines with a brow lift include the following:

Eyelid surgery

Eyelid surgery targets sagging upper eyelids, under-eye bags, and dark circles for a rejuvenated look.

Facelift

A facelift sculpts and tightens the lower face, offering a contoured, lifted effect by repositioning tissues.

Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty refines your nose by smoothing bumps and/or narrowing the nasal tip to achieve a more symmetrical shape harmonious with your facial features.

Neck lift

Dr. Lee's neck lift procedure tightens sagging neck tissues, defines the jawline, and eliminates excess submental fat for a youthful appearance.

Chin augmentation

Chin augmentation, generally using implants, enhances the chin's prominence, creating a balanced and attractive facial structure.

Dermal fillers

Dermal fillers are non-surgical options to enhance facial features by restoring lost volume, smoothing lines and wrinkles, plumping the lips, and sculpting the jawline and cheekbones.

Skin resurfacing treatments

While under light anesthesia, it is a great opportunity to combine it with skin resurfacing such as frax CO2 laser. It is a non-surgical option that enhances skin texture by resurfacing the top layer of the skin and stimulate collagen and elastin production, reducing wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, acne scars, and other concerns.

What to Expect After Your Brow Lift

Following Dr. Lee's guidance helps ensure optimal healing. Immediately after surgery, you will notice a more youthful and lifted appearance in your brow area that enhances overall facial aesthetics. Bruising and swelling is expected. Dr. Lee and her team will be available to address any post-operative concerns and monitor your progress closely.

Brow Lift FAQs

What is the best age for a brow lift?

There is no “best age” for a brow lift; patients can choose to have this surgery whenever they wish to address signs of age that appear on the brow.

What is the difference between a brow lift and eyelid surgery?

A brow lift (also called a forehead lift) is a procedure designed to elevate the eyebrows, smooth forehead wrinkles, and reduce frown lines. It enhances the upper facial area by repositioning the skin and underlying muscles of the forehead.

Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), on the other hand, focuses on the eyelids. It removes or repositions excess skin, fat, and muscle from the upper or lower eyelids to improve drooping, puffiness, or bagginess around the eyes.

While both procedures can rejuvenate the eye area, a brow lift targets the forehead and eyebrow position, whereas eyelid surgery specifically treats the eyelids themselves. In some cases, both may be recommended for optimal results.

Can Botox lift my eyebrows?

Botox can temporarily elevate the eyebrows and help make the eyes appear more open.

Is a brow lift painful?

You will experience some discomfort and tightness within the first few weeks following your brow lift surgery, but typically nothing severe.

Will I look natural after a brow lift?

Yes. A brow lift with Dr. Lee is designed to achieve natural, elegant results that never appear “fake” or “manufactured.” It is essential to approach a brow lift very conservatively, to avoid looking surprised amongst other risks.

Where are the incisions made for a brow lift?

Incisions are behind your hairline across the top of your head or at the hairline near the temples.

Will there be scarring after my brow lift?

There will be scars where the incisions were made, hidden within the hairline. Dr. Lee goes to great lengths to make the scars inconspicuous.

How long does a brow lift last?

A brow lift can last for a decade or more. However, the longevity of the procedure can vary depending on individual factors such as aging, genetics, and lifestyle choices.

Is a brow lift the same as a forehead lift?

Yes. Both terms are used interchangeably to describe the surgery that addresses sagging skin and wrinkles in the brow and forehead area by lifting and tightening the tissues.
