Brow Lift Fairfax, VA | Plastic Surgeon Fairfax, VA: Joseph Michaels, MD

Understanding Brow Lift Surgery

A brow lift is a minimally invasive procedure designed to restore your brow position, creating an open and bright eye appearance while smoothing the forehead. Over time, eyebrows can descend due to skin relaxation and gravity, causing a tired or aged look.

Key Benefits of Brow Lift

• Corrects eyelid drooping
• Reduces forehead skin folding
• Eliminates excess tissue under eyebrows
• Provides a more youthful, refreshed appearance

Brow Lift Procedure Options

Coronal Brow Lift

The traditional technique involves an ear-to-ear incision above the hairline. Dr. Michaels tightens the forehead muscle, eliminating wrinkles and folds while removing excess skin.

Endoscopic Brow Lift

A minimally invasive approach using tiny scalp incisions and an endoscopic camera. This technique promotes shorter recovery times and maintains natural hairline placement.

Lateral Brow Lift

Focuses on lifting the outer brow area, reducing frown lines and correcting upper eyelid sagging. Often combined with an eyelid lift for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

Candidacy and Consultation

Ideal candidates are typically between 40-60 years old, experiencing forehead and eye area skin laxity. Dr. Michaels conducts comprehensive consultations to determine the most appropriate technique for individual aesthetic goals.

Recovery and Results

Recovery typically takes 1-2 weeks, with full results visible after 4-8 weeks. Patients can expect results lasting 3-5 years, with continued natural aging progression.

Complementary Procedures

Dr. Michaels often recommends combining brow lift with eyelid lift (blepharoplasty) to achieve more comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
