Understanding Brow Lift Surgery in Houston

A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is a sophisticated surgical procedure designed to correct age-related changes affecting the uppermost facial region. The procedure repositions sagging eyebrows and smooths horizontal forehead lines, restoring a more youthful and refreshed appearance.

Key Brow Lift Characteristics

Repositions eyebrows to their natural anatomical position
Corrects drooping outer eyebrows
Eliminates horizontal forehead lines
Enhances overall facial symmetry

Customized Surgical Techniques

Dr. Alfonso Barrera offers two primary brow lift techniques: the classic coronal incision and the advanced endoscopic approach. The endoscopic method involves multiple small incisions, allowing for minimal scarring and faster recovery compared to traditional techniques.

Surgical Approach Details

Endoscopic technique uses 5 small incisions
Pencil-thin instruments and camera-guided precision
Repositions and secures underlying muscle tissue
Trims excess skin for natural-looking results

Ideal Candidates for Brow Lift in Houston

Healthy adults experiencing forehead aging, such as heavy upper eyelids or horizontal lines, are excellent candidates for brow lift surgery. Dr. Barrera conducts thorough consultations to ensure patient suitability and develop personalized surgical plans.

Recovery and Results

Most patients resume light activities within 10 days, with complete recovery occurring around six weeks. Final results become apparent approximately six months post-surgery, revealing a more youthful and refreshed facial appearance.

Potential Risks and Considerations

Temporary bruising and swelling
Potential numbness around incision areas
Minimal risk of infection
Potential asymmetry (rare)

Dr. Barrera is absolutely one of the kindest doctors I have ever met. His artistry is matched by his beautiful soul; kind, generous with his time, ability to make you feel seen and heard while producing amazing results! When I first went in for a consultation, Dr Barrera greeted me with a smile, asked me to come into his office and pulled up a chair next to him! He showed me before and after results of his work, and it was amazing. Dr. Barrera uses a technique that he developed (and teaches other plastic surgeons how to do). The results shown of side by side patients were amazing! Dr Barrera explained what he would do and said the procedure would be painless with little down time. He was correct! I had the neck lift done, and after one week I no longer had to wear a bandage during the day-after that I wore a bandage only at night. After two weeks the results were amazing and stitches were removed. I love, love, love the results! There are no scars and I have received so many compliments on how I “look fresher and happy.” The results were dramatic but not extreme; I just look like I did 15 years ago but not as though I had work done! Not only is Dr. Barrera a kind and gentle Doctor, but his office staff are a reflection of him; they too are kind and understanding. For those of you who are afraid of “going under the knife,” Dr. Barrera uses a twilight anesthesia. His surgery is done in his office, and there was no pain-all I used after the procedure was Tylenol! I cannot stress how pleased I am with Dr Barrera and the results of his procedure, but also how lovely and kind both Dr. Barrera and his staff are…one of the best decisions I have ever made. Thank you Dr. Barrera for taking me on as your patient.

Dr. Barrera has the magic touch. I made the mistake of going to another plastic surgeon because I did not like the drive since I moved almost 2 hours away. Dr. Barrera initially did my breast implants, GREAT JOB! However, I waited too long to get them replaced , there was a small rupture and got them removed. My mistake is going to a different doctor. Nice guy, but I had a lot of issues after the removal of my implants and the lack of concern by the nurses in that office was very upsetting. I also had rhinoplasty there because I broke my nose in high school and had lots of difficulty breathing. I was not trying to change my nose, I just wanted to breathe better and it completely changed my face and I did not recognize myself. During the same procedure, fat was placed under my eyes to help the bags. Too much fat was placed and the fat really never dissolved and started looking lumpy. Needless to say, I will never return. Having said all that Dr. Barrera fixed my breasts, they are BEAUTIFUL! He did minor work on my nose and removed the fat and lumps from underneath my eyes. AND I FINALLY, AFTER 7 years, I RECOGNIZE THE GIRL IN THE MIRROR!!! THANK YOU DR. BARRERA! I am so grateful to you and your AMAZING and CARING staff! I will NEVER go anywhere else! Dr. Barrera you are FOREVER MY #1! Much love and admiration!

From the initial consultation appt w Dr. Barrera to the final check-up, each step of the procedure is flawless. His support team is so accommodating and friendly as well as helpful before, during n after procedure. Every question I had, and there were a lot, was answered and discussed. The surgery itself was painless and the recovery has been easy!! Dr. Barrera did a beautiful job, and I feel great!! Thank you❤️❤️❤️

Dr. Barerra - Houston’s Michelangelo and Leonardo Da Vinci. In my past I worked with and assisted several plastic surgeons in Houston – non came even close to the quality of Dr. Barerra - who is both an artist and a phenomenal surgeon. He is kind, thoughtful, patient, caring, authentic as well as a gifted and a most knowledgeable doctor. He and his staff are beyond AMAZING - always professional as well as personally invested in their client’s wellness and overall satisfaction. Dr Barerra you are one of the most professional and talented people that I have ever had the opportunity to meet. Your follow-through, attention to detail, artistic touch and focus are incomparable. From start to finish one is guaranteed an award-winning performance with support, service and outcome that is not only perfect - but delivered with kindness, high level of ethics and unforgettable all in the same breath. Like any worthwhile relationship, doctor /client affiliation brings together ideas and common goals. Striking the delicate balance between likes and dislikes can be difficult. The traits I hold in high regard personally and professionally are - talent, integrity, intelligence, kindness and respect. Consequently, I am compelled to tell you that Dr Barerra’s talent, knowledge and artistic and surgical skills are beyond superior. His willingness to go over and beyond the call of duty makes the reason I believe he is the best plastic surgeon in Houston obvious. Dr. Barerra’s commitment to a tip-top ship and perfection is evident. I salute Dr. Barerra today for his incredible talent and professionalism in providing care full of commitment to excellence and incredible creativity. With Dr Barerra being at the helm – his practice is destined to be the best from port to port.

It’s been over a month since my procedure and I could not be happier with the result. Dr. Barrera truly listened to what I wanted, rather than use a one-size-fits-all approach as other doctors seemed to. Use of IV sedation made the procedure easier than I could’ve imagined. His staff was also very pleasant and knowledgeable.
