Brow Lift Surgery in San Diego

A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is a facial rejuvenation procedure that improves the appearance of the upper face. Dr. Melanie Malone, a board-certified facial plastic surgeon in San Diego, performs brow lift surgery to:

• Lift sagging eyebrows
• Smooth forehead wrinkles and frown lines
• Reduce hooding of the upper eyelids
• Create a more youthful, refreshed look

Benefits of a Brow Lift

Patients who undergo a brow lift with Dr. Malone can expect:

• A brighter, more awake appearance
• Reduced angry or tired look
• Smoother forehead and less visible frown lines
• Improved upper eyelid contour
• Natural-looking results customized to their facial anatomy

Brow Lift Techniques

Endoscopic Brow Lift

Dr. Malone often uses an endoscopic technique, which involves small incisions hidden in the hairline. This minimally invasive approach results in less scarring and faster recovery compared to traditional methods.

Lateral Temporal Lift

For patients needing only a subtle lift of the outer brows, Dr. Malone may recommend a lateral temporal lift. This targets the sides of the brows through small incisions.

Non-Surgical Options

Dr. Malone also offers non-surgical brow lifting treatments using injectables for patients who want to avoid surgery.

Brow Lift Recovery

Most brow lift patients experience:

• Minor discomfort and tightness for a few days
• Some swelling and bruising for 1-2 weeks
• Return to work and normal activities within 7-10 days
• Full results visible after 2-3 months as swelling resolves

Ideal Candidates for Brow Lift Surgery

Good candidates for a brow lift are typically:

• Men and women in their 30s or older
• In good overall health
• Experiencing sagging brows or deep forehead wrinkles
• Wanting a more refreshed, youthful upper face
• Realistic about potential results

Dr. Malone performs a thorough evaluation during the consultation to determine if a brow lift is the best option for each patient's unique needs and goals.
