What is a Brow Lift?

A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is a surgical procedure that addresses sagging brows and forehead wrinkles. This transformative cosmetic surgery can help you achieve a more youthful appearance by treating the upper third of your face. Whether you choose an endoscopic brow lift or a traditional brow lift approach, the procedure effectively smooths wrinkles and eliminates excess skin that can make you appear tired or aged.

Types of Brow Lift Procedures

Traditional (Coronal) Brow Lift Banner

Traditional (Coronal) Brow Lift

This classic technique involves an incision running from ear to ear across the top of the head, hidden within the hairline. The procedure allows Dr. Bafitis to lift the entire forehead and eyebrow area, addressing deep forehead wrinkles and sagging brows comprehensively. While this method provides dramatic results, it typically requires a longer recovery period compared to other techniques.

Endoscopic Brow Lift Banner

Endoscopic Brow Lift

Using advanced minimally invasive technology, this modern approach requires several small incisions (typically 3-5) within the hairline. Through these incisions, Dr. Bafitis inserts a tiny camera and specialized instruments to lift and reposition the brow tissues. The endoscopic technique offers similar results to the traditional method but with reduced scarring, shorter recovery time, and less post-operative discomfort.

Temporal Brow Lift Banner

Temporal Brow Lift

Also known as a lateral brow lift, this targeted procedure focuses specifically on lifting the outer portion of the eyebrows through small incisions in the temporal area (sides of the head). This technique is particularly effective for patients experiencing hooding or sagging in the outer eye area and works well for those seeking subtle enhancement rather than a complete forehead lift.

Brow Lift Procedure: Step by Step

Pre-Surgical Consultation and Planning 

Your journey begins with a thorough consultation where Dr. Bafitis evaluates your facial structure, discusses your goals, and determines the most suitable surgical approach. Whether choosing a traditional brow lift, minimally invasive endoscopic technique, or temporal lift, each procedure is carefully planned to achieve optimal results.
On the day of surgery, Dr. Bafitis begins by marking the surgical sites while you’re in an upright position. This ensures the most natural-looking results. Depending on your specific procedure and comfort needs, either general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation is administered. The surgical area is cleaned, and your hair is secured away from the incision sites.
The incision pattern varies based on your chosen technique. For a traditional approach, a continuous incision is made within the hairline from ear to ear. Endoscopic procedures utilize several small incisions (typically 3-5) hidden within the hairline, while temporal lifts focus on incisions near the temples. Regardless of the technique, all incisions are carefully placed to minimize visible scarring.

Once the incisions are made, Dr. Bafitis carefully lifts the forehead skin and modifies the underlying tissues. This crucial step involves:

  • Releasing and repositioning forehead tissues
  • Adjusting or removing portions of the muscles that cause frown lines
  • Removing excess skin when necessary
  • Lifting the eyebrows to a more youthful position
After achieving the desired lift and contour, the repositioned tissues are secured in place. This may involve internal sutures, temporary fixation devices, or surgical adhesive, depending on your specific procedure. This step ensures long-lasting results while maintaining natural movement and expressions.
The incisions are meticulously closed using fine sutures designed to minimize scarring. A light dressing is applied to protect the surgical area, and in some cases, a small drainage tube may be temporarily placed to prevent fluid accumulation.

Brow Lift Recovery

First Week
During the initial days, patients can expect moderate swelling and bruising around the forehead, eyes, and temples. Head elevation is crucial during sleep and rest periods. Most patients experience mild to moderate discomfort, managed with prescribed pain medication. Light walking is encouraged, but strenuous activities must be avoided. Small dressings or bandages may be present, and cold compresses can help reduce swelling.
Most visible bruising subsides, though some residual swelling remains. Patients typically return to work and normal daily activities, avoiding heavy lifting and intense exercise. Stitches or staples are usually removed during this period if non-dissolvable ones were used. Mild numbness or tingling sensations in the forehead are normal and gradually improve. Gentle hair washing can resume according to surgeon’s instructions.

The SMAS facelift targets deeper layers of the facial tissue for longer-lasting results than a traditional facelift. By tightening the muscles and connective tissues under the skin, Dr. Bafitis can make a more natural and noticeable facelift. The method focuses on the face and neck; it gets rid of hanging skin next to jowls or cheeks while leaving one with their normal facial expressions.

Ideal Candidate for Brow Lift

Rhinoplasty can be an option for patients based on the aim of achieving an improvement in either one’s appearance or even the nostrils’ function. Here is a bird’s-eye view of basic points that may make somebody a suitable candidate for the rhinoplasty procedure:

Benefits of Brow Lift Surgery

Physical Benefits

A brow lift effectively addresses sagging skin around the eyebrows and forehead, creating a naturally lifted and more alert appearance. The procedure significantly reduces deep horizontal forehead creases, frown lines, and the notorious “11s” between the eyebrows. Patients experience improvement in upper eyelid hooding caused by descended brow tissue, which may eliminate the need for additional eyelid surgery in some cases. The results can be further enhanced with complementary procedures like dermal fillers for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
The procedure helps restore a more approachable, refreshed appearance that better reflects one’s inner vitality. Many patients report increased self-confidence in both personal and professional settings. The surgery reduces the common misconception of looking constantly tired, angry, or unapproachable. By creating harmony between facial features, patients experience improved self-image and social confidence.
Unlike temporary solutions such as Botox or fillers, a brow lift provides lasting results that typically endure for 10-12 years. This surgical approach offers superior longevity while creating a foundation for easier maintenance with non-surgical treatments. The procedure maintains natural facial expressions while improving overall appearance, allowing patients to enjoy a refreshed look without appearing overdone or artificial.
