Houston Brow Lift Surgery | Forehead Lift Houston

The youthful, female brow typically lies slightly above the upper brow bone, while the youthful, male brow typically lies right at the level of the upper brow bone. When we age, our brows may sag, giving a heavier looking brow and a tired or angry appearance. A brow lift is a surgical procedure that addresses the descent of the eyebrow that occurs with age. This procedure seeks to restore the normal position of the brow for a more youthful, rejuvenated appearance.

What is a Brow Lift?

A brow lift, or forehead lift, surgery is a procedure that raises the brow position using incisions well hidden in the hairline. Our surgeons can perform a brow lift in several different ways. An open brow lift, or subcutaneous brow lift, uses incisions slightly into the hairline to lift the forehead skin, pulling up the brow and smoothing the wrinkles in the forehead. The excess skin is trimmed, and the incisions are closed with sutures and clips. An open brow lift can be performed under local anesthesia or under general anesthesia. Your plastic surgeon will discuss these options with you to determine which type of anesthesia is best for you during your brow lift procedure.

An endoscopic brow lift uses several small incisions in the hairline to place an endoscopic camera that assists with lifting the forehead skin and dividing some of the muscles that cause forehead and glabella wrinkles. The forehead and brow are then raised and tacked into a higher, more youthful position. An endoscopic brow lift is performed under general anesthesia. Our surgeons will discuss the different surgical options for this procedure including endoscopic and open approaches at the time of your consultation.

Why do you want a Brow Lift in Houston, Texas?

A brow lift helps restore a youthful brow position along with decreasing wrinkles and frown lines in the forehead. This procedure can help patients who have a tired, heavy look around their brows and eyes. The goal is a more refreshed, awake appearance.

Who is a good candidate for a Brow Lift in Houston, Texas?

Good patients for a brow lift in Houston, Texas are patients whose eyebrows have fallen below their normal position, which is slightly above the upper brow bone in women and at the upper brow bone in men. The plastic surgeons at The Oaks Plastic Surgery—Dr. Danielle Andry and Dr. Nandi Wijay—will evaluate your individual anatomy at the time of consultation to determine if you are a good candidate for this procedure and whether an open brow lift or endoscopic brow lift is the right choice for you.

Who is not a good candidate for a Brow Lift in Houston, Texas?

Patients who are actively smoking are at higher risk for wound healing complications after brow lift procedures. The plastic surgeons at The Oaks Plastic Surgery recommend that all their patients quit smoking prior to their plastic surgery procedures, and remain smoke-free for at least six weeks after their plastic surgery procedure. We are happy to assist all our plastic surgery patients who are interested in quitting smoking.

Patients who are not in good health should speak with their medical doctor prior to undergoing any plastic surgery procedure to make sure they are healthy enough to undergo the procedure and recover well afterwards. The health and wellbeing of our patients is our primary focus at The Oaks Plastic Surgery.

What procedures are often performed along with a Brow Lift?

Heavy, tired-appearing eyes may be the result of a lowered brow, excess upper eyelid skin or descent of the fat and other structures of the eyelid. A brow lift is often performed in conjunction with both an upper eyelid lift (blepharoplasty) and a lower eyelid lift (blepharoplasty). Some of our plastic surgery patients also undergo a facelift or neck lift together with their brow lift procedure.

Additionally, patients interested in a brow lift may also benefit from Botox, filler or fat injections to help with the overall appearance of their brow and eyelid area. Patients may also benefit from chemical peels or generalized skin care.
