Brow Lift

Men come to me requesting this surgery because they are concerned that their friends tell them, “Why are you sad?” or “Why are you angry?” when they really are not. It is very reasonable and common to want these features improved.

Most men have the above and other complaints when presenting for brow lift surgery. Other concerns include excessive forehead wrinkling from holding up the eyebrows, difficulty seeing upward from excess skin pushing down the eyelids, deep lines between the eyebrows, and styling hair over the forehead to hide wrinkle lines. The anatomy of the forehead is intimately involved with the hairline above and the eyebrows/upper eyelids below, so that, there are many different anatomic features of each of these areas that must be addressed prior to your surgery. I will coordinate the features of your anatomy with your expectations, formulate a plan with you, and guide you through this. There are numerous different techniques, and incisions to use to the point where brow lift surgery is ever more artistic, more natural, and safer than ever before. The surgery involved in brow lift and forehead rejuvenation in my practice involves:

• Open (incision). Brow lift where an incision is made at the hairline or behind. The sagging tissues are disconnected down to the eyebrow level, raised up then the excess is trimmed, and the incision is sewn up.
• Closed (endoscopic). Brow lift where only 4-5 very small incisions are used just behind the hairline and a camera and instrument are used to disconnect the sagging tissues and raise them up.
• Reversal of Brow Lift. For men that have already had a procedure and the eyebrows are too high or too arched, the procedure can at times be reversed
• Browpexy. This is a great subset of brow lift where a brow lift can be performed through the upper eyelid incision and lifting the eyebrows only and used when the forehead is not too much sagging.

Surgery involves a relatively short procedure under a light general anesthetic, performed where I do surgery, which is in a hospital setting. The surgery is safe and predictable. Virtually immediately after surgery you see your result and it just gets better in time. All the stitches are comfortably removed in 5-7 days; the recovery is rapid, with return to work in as little as 4 days, and to some physical exercise within the first week.

I have very special expertise in male brow lift procedures and spend a great deal of time discussing your anatomy, listening to your expectations, and interpreting for you what your anatomy and tissues will allow me to do in a safe and predictable way. In addition, I consider your body as a whole and I build a system into every facial surgery that, initially, allows you to recover much quicker and, secondly, it serves to preserve your surgical results. This system includes a special diet, special attention to blood clotting, vitamins, supplements, skin products, physical training and knowing what to avoid. Together, all of this allows me to create results that are consistently very beautiful, with quick healing, minimal scarring and a very natural appearance, especially in the face; an area of such major importance to men. I am delighted to surgically provide you with such profound yet natural facial image changes, and ones that have consistently so pleased my male patients and changed their lives.
