Are you tired of being constantly asked if you're tired? If so, you'll be happy to know that a brow lift (also known as a forehead lift) is a cosmetic procedure that can help. Our Metro Atlanta practice offers this procedure to lift sagging eyebrows and smooth out wrinkles on the forehead and between the eyes.
A brow lift is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that can:
Raises the eyebrows to a more pleasing position
Smoothes wrinkles across the forehead
Reduces shadowing over the eyes caused by a heavy brow
Gives patients a younger, brighter appearance

A brow lift takes about one hour to perform and is done on an outpatient basis. To ensure your comfort, a board-certified anesthesiologist will administer intravenous sedation or general anesthesia during the procedure. Most surgeons will use a tiny camera called an endoscope, which allows them to make small incisions and precisely tighten the skin and muscles. As the incisions are hidden in the hairline, the scars are virtually undetectable once they’ve healed.
What Is Brow Lift Recovery Like?
Post-operative discomfort is usually minor and can be effectively managed with pain medication. Swelling and bruising typically resolve within 2 weeks, and most patients can return to work within 7 to 10 days. Full recovery usually takes about 3 months.
We will provide detailed, personalized instructions to assist you in preparing for your surgery and recovery. Your surgeon will be pleased to address any queries you may have.
Brow Lift & BOTOX®: A Perfect Pair
BOTOX Cosmetic is a great alternative to a surgical brow lift. It can help reduce the appearance of expression-based forehead wrinkles or wrinkles between your eyebrows (11 lines). BOTOX works by temporarily relaxing the targeted muscles, leaving you with a smoother and higher brow.
It’s important to keep in mind that while BOTOX can help prevent future expression-based wrinkling, it doesn’t completely prevent the formation of wrinkles in the future. To maintain your results, you’ll need to have ongoing maintenance treatments. Because the effects of BOTOX are temporary, you will have the freedom to adjust your treatment plan as needed.
Enhance Your Brow Lift With These Complementary Procedures
A brow lift addresses the upper third of the face. If you are concerned with sagging skin, volume loss, or fine lines and wrinkles in other areas of the face, you may be interested in combining your brow lift with another procedure, including:
Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) removes excess, sagging skin from the upper and lower eyelids. This procedure can also eliminate puffiness above and below the eyes.
A facelift (rhytidectomy) is used to lift and tighten the skin on the face and neck; excess tissue and fat are removed during the procedure, dramatically reducing signs of facial aging. In certain cases, a mini or short-scar facelift may be performed.
Dermal fillers, such as Restylane, can restore volume and fill in folds and creases in the skin for a smoother look.
Laser and light treatments, including laser peels & facials, HALO, and Broadband Light Therapy, can reduce fine lines and wrinkles. They can also improve your skin’s tone, quality, and texture. Enjoy clearer skin, more even coloring, and a luminous glow to further brighten and refresh your face.
During your consultation, one of our board-certified plastic surgeons will create a customized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
