Forehead Rejuvenation Brow Lift in Newport Beach, CA | Ali Razfar, MD Facial Plastic Surgery

Understanding Brow Lift Surgery

A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is a sophisticated cosmetic procedure designed to restore the position of eyebrows and create a more youthful facial contour. Sagging eyebrows can contribute to a tired or sad appearance, causing deep forehead creases and unwanted facial expressions.

Key Benefits of Brow Lift Surgery

• Elevate eyebrow position for a more refreshed look
• Reduce excess upper eyelid skin
• Eliminate forehead wrinkles and frown lines
• Restore natural eye contour

Types of Brow Lift Techniques

Endoscopic Brow Lift

The most common method involves using a specialized camera (endoscope) inserted through several small incisions behind the hairline. This minimally invasive technique allows for precise manipulation with minimal scarring.

Open Forehead Lift

This technique involves making incisions in the hairline, forehead creases, or behind the hairline. The underlying muscles are carefully loosened, and excess skin may be removed to position the brow at a more aesthetically pleasing height.

Temple Lift

Specifically targeted for patients experiencing lateral brow drooping, this technique involves incisions in the temple hairlines. It is ideal for addressing specific areas of brow descent while maintaining the overall forehead structure.

Brow Lift Candidacy

Ideal candidates for a brow lift typically experience:

• Sagging central brow creating pronounced frown lines
• Lateral brow descent resulting in a perpetually sad expression
• Excess upper eyelid skin that becomes more apparent when manually lifting the brow

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can typically expect a recovery period of approximately two weeks. Bruising usually resolves during this time, and sutures or staples are removed after one week. Most patients experience minimal pain but may feel some tightness in the treated area.

Return to Normal Activities

Most patients can return to work within one week and resume normal activities after two weeks. The precise healing timeline can vary based on individual factors and the specific technique used.

Scarring Considerations

Brow lift incisions are strategically placed either behind or near the hairline, ensuring that any resulting scars are typically imperceptible once fully healed. Dr. Ali Razfar employs advanced techniques to minimize visible scarring.
