Who is a Candidate for a Brow Lift at Neaman Plastic Surgery?
A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is designed to elevate the position of the eyebrows and smooth the forehead, resulting in a more youthful and refreshed appearance. Here are the key characteristics that make someone an ideal candidate for a brow lift:
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.

We believe that everyone deserves to feel confident and comfortable in their own skin, and our procedures are designed to do just that—empower individuals to embrace their beauty and feel their best.
View Our GallerySurgical 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.

Start Your JourneyWhere 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.

VIEW OUR GALLERYHow long is the downtime following a brow lift?
Initial Recovery:
- Most patients experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort for the first week. Cold compresses and prescribed medications can help manage these symptoms.
1-2 Weeks:
- Significant swelling and bruising typically subside during this period. Many patients feel comfortable returning to non-strenuous activities and work within 1-2 weeks, depending on their healing process and the nature of their job.
3-4 Weeks:
- By the third or fourth week, most visible signs of surgery have diminished. Patients can gradually resume more strenuous activities and exercise.
Full Recovery:
- While initial recovery occurs within the first few weeks, complete healing and the final results can take several months as swelling continues to resolve and tissues settle into their new positions.
