Brow Lift

The team at Neaman Plastic Surgery understands how surgical and non-surgical treatments are life-changing to many patients. In fact, a brow lift can give you a more refreshed and relaxed appearance. It removes those horizontal lines from across the forehead as well as the deep-set wrinkles that tends to appear between the eyes at the bridge of the nose due to constant muscle contraction.

NATURAL LOOKING RESULTS

Dr. Neaman and Dr. Christiansen are highly skilled plastic surgeons with vast experience in body, breast, and facial procedures.

Low or Sagging Eyebrows:

Candidates with eyebrows that have drooped or sagged over time, creating a tired or sad appearance.

Deep Forehead Wrinkles and Frown Lines:

Individuals with deep horizontal lines across the forehead or vertical frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines).

Heavy Upper Eyelids:

Candidates with heavy or drooping upper eyelids caused by low brow position, which can sometimes impair vision.

Asymmetrical Eyebrows:

Noticeable asymmetry between the eyebrows.

Surgical Options for a Brow Lift: Endoscopic vs. Open vs. Direct

Neaman Plastic Surgery offers several surgical techniques for brow lifts to address your unique needs and aesthetic goals. Here’s an overview of the different options available:

Endoscopic Brow Lift:

(Preferred technique by Neaman Plastic Surgery)

Overview: This minimally invasive technique involves making several small incisions behind the hairline. A tiny camera (endoscope) and specialized instruments are used to lift and reposition the underlying forehead and brow tissues.

Benefits:

  • Minimal scarring due to small incisions.
  • Faster recovery time compared to open techniques.
  • Less risk of numbness or sensation changes in the scalp.
  • Precise adjustments with the use of the endoscope for visualization.

Ideal Candidates: Individuals with mild to moderate brow sagging and those looking for a less invasive option with minimal scarring.

Open (Coronal) Brow Lift:

Overview: Also known as the traditional or coronal brow lift, this technique involves making a long incision across the top of the scalp, either at or behind the hairline. The forehead skin is lifted, and excess skin is removed. The underlying muscles and tissues are repositioned for a smoother, more youthful appearance.

Benefits:

  • Comprehensive lifting and repositioning of the forehead and brow area.
  • Long-lasting results.
  • Effective for significant brow sagging and deep wrinkles.

Ideal Candidates: Individuals with significant brow drooping and deeper forehead wrinkles who may benefit from a more extensive lifting procedure.

Direct Brow Lift:

Overview: This technique involves making incisions directly above the eyebrows to lift and reposition the brow. Excess skin is removed, and the remaining skin is sutured, resulting in a higher brow position.

Benefits:

  • Highly effective for precise lifting of the eyebrows.
  • Suitable for patients with significant brow asymmetry or specific localized drooping.
  • Shorter surgery time and quicker recovery.

Ideal Candidates: Individuals with significant brow drooping or asymmetry who do not mind visible scars above the eyebrows and those who may not be suitable candidates for more invasive techniques.

Benefits of Using Endotine in an Endoscopic Brow Lift

Endotine is an advanced fixation device used in brow lift procedures to enhance the precision and stability of the lift. By incorporating Endotine devices into an endoscopic brow lift, our team at Neaman Plastic Surgery can offer patients a highly effective and minimally invasive option for achieving a youthful and refreshed appearance. If you are considering a brow lift and want to learn more about how Endotine can enhance your results, schedule a consultation with our expert surgeons today. Here are the key benefits of using Endotine in an endoscopic brow lift:

1. Enhanced Stability:

    • Overview: Endotine devices provide secure fixation of the lifted brow tissues.
    • Benefit: This ensures that the new brow position remains stable during the healing process, reducing the risk of tissue migration or drooping after surgery.

2. Minimally Invasive:

    • Overview: The Endotine system is designed for use in minimally invasive procedures like endoscopic brow lifts.
    • Benefit: This approach minimizes scarring, reduces recovery time, and decreases post-operative discomfort compared to traditional open techniques.

3. Precise Positioning:

    • Overview: Endotine devices allow for precise placement and adjustment of the brow tissues.
    • Benefit: By accurately positioning the brows, surgeons can achieve optimal aesthetic results, leading to a more natural and harmonious appearance.

4. Absorbable Material:

    • Overview: Endotine devices are made from biocompatible, absorbable materials.
    • Benefit: The device gradually dissolves over time, eliminating the need for a second procedure to remove it. This promotes a smoother healing process and reduces long-term risks associated with permanent implants.

5. Reduced Surgical Time:

    • Overview: The use of Endotine simplifies the fixation process.
    • Benefit: This can shorten the overall surgical time, reduce the risks associated with prolonged anesthesia, and improve the overall efficiency of the procedure.

6. Versatility:

    • Overview: Endotine devices come in various sizes and configurations to suit different anatomical needs.
    • Benefit: This allows for customized treatment, ensuring that each patient receives the most appropriate support and lift for their unique facial structure.

7. Improved Patient Comfort:

    • Overview: The secure fixation provided by Endotine devices helps minimize post-operative discomfort and swelling.
    • Benefit: Patients typically experience a smoother recovery with less pain and a quicker return to normal activities.

Where are the incisions for an open and endoscopic brow lift?

OPEN VS ENDOSCOPIC BROW LIFT INCISIONS

Open Brow Lift:

Incision Location: An open brow lift, also known as a coronal brow lift, involves a long incision made across the top of the scalp, either at or behind the hairline. The incision typically extends from one ear to the other, hidden within the hair.

Visibility: The incisions are placed within the hairline, making scarring minimal and not visible. This approach allows for extensive lifting and repositioning of the brow and forehead tissues.

Endoscopic Brow Lift:

Incision Location: The endoscopic brow lift involves several small incisions made behind the hairline, usually in the scalp. These incisions are typically about 1-2 cm long and are strategically placed to be hidden within the hair.

Visibility: Since the incisions are hidden within the hairline, scarring is minimal and not visible. Using an endoscope (a small camera) allows the surgeon to visualize and manipulate the underlying tissues through these small incisions.

Why Upper Lid Blepharoplasty is Commonly Performed with a Brow Lift

Combining an upper lid blepharoplasty with a brow lift achieves a more comprehensive upper face rejuvenation. Here are the key reasons why these procedures are often performed together:

A STRATEGIC APPROACH

1. Comprehensive Rejuvenation:

    • Explanation: The upper face, including the forehead, eyebrows, and upper eyelids, ages as a unit. Addressing only one area may leave other signs of aging untreated, leading to less harmonious results.
    • Benefit: By performing both procedures together, surgeons can create a balanced and cohesive rejuvenation, enhancing the overall appearance and ensuring that all aspects of aging in the upper face are addressed simultaneously.

2. Improved Aesthetic Outcomes:

    • Explanation: A brow lift alone can elevate the eyebrows and smooth the forehead but may not fully address sagging upper eyelids. Similarly, an upper lid blepharoplasty alone can remove excess eyelid skin but won’t lift drooping brows.
    • Benefit: Combining the two procedures ensures that the brow position and the upper eyelids are corrected, leading to more natural and aesthetically pleasing results.

3. Enhanced Vision and Function:

    • Explanation: Drooping brows and sagging upper eyelid skin can impair vision by blocking the visual field.
    • Benefit: Performing both procedures together improves the appearance and can enhance functional outcomes by relieving visual obstructions and making daily activities easier.

4. Harmonious Facial Balance:

    • Explanation: Lifting the brows without addressing excess upper eyelid skin can create an imbalance, and vice versa. The upper face looks most natural when the brow and eyelid areas are in harmony.
    • Benefit: Combining the procedures allows for a more balanced facial appearance, ensuring that the changes in one area complement the changes in the other.

5. Efficient Surgical Process:

    • Explanation: Performing both procedures in a single surgical session can be more efficient than staging them separately.
    • Benefit: This approach reduces the overall time spent under anesthesia, minimizes the total recovery period, and lowers the risk of complications that might arise from multiple surgeries.

6. Cost-Effective:

    • Explanation: Undergoing two procedures simultaneously can be more cost-effective than scheduling them separately.
    • Benefit: Patients often save on anesthesia and facility fees, making the combined procedure a more economical choice.

7. Addressing All Aspects of Aging:

    • Explanation: The aging process affects the brow and the eyelids, causing them to sag and wrinkle.
    • Benefit: By addressing both areas simultaneously, surgeons can achieve a more thorough and comprehensive rejuvenation, enhancing the upper face’s overall youthful appearance.

  • By the third or fourth week, most visible signs of surgery have diminished. Patients can gradually resume more strenuous activities and exercise.

How long does a brow lift last?

The results of a brow lift can last for many years, typically 5-10 years or more. However, the aging process continues, and some patients may choose to have a touch-up procedure in the future.

Will a brow lift change my eye shape?

A brow lift can subtly change the appearance of your eyes by lifting the brows and reducing upper eyelid hooding. This often results in a more open, refreshed look, but it doesn’t fundamentally alter your eye shape.

Can a brow lift be combined with other facial procedures?

Yes, a brow lift is often combined with other facial rejuvenation procedures such as eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) or facelift for more comprehensive results.

Will I have visible scars after a brow lift?

Modern brow lift techniques often use small incisions hidden within the hairline, resulting in minimal visible scarring. The specific incision placement depends on the technique used and will be discussed during your consultation.

How soon can I return to work after a brow lift?

Most patients can return to work within 1-2 weeks after a brow lift. However, if your job involves strenuous physical activity, you may need to take additional time off. It’s important to follow your surgeon’s post-operative instructions carefully.
