Combine A Brow Lift with Other Facial Enhancements

The brow lift procedure complements other surgical and non-surgical procedures in the face and neck well. The brow lift can be combined with:

What Conditions Does the Procedure Address?

The eyebrow is composed of hair, skin, a fat pad, and fibrous attachments to the bone above the eye. The fibrous attachments of the eyebrow to the bone can weaken with age. As a result, the eyebrow falls over the bony rim of the eye and the eyelid. The lateral portion of the eyebrow tends to fall more frequently and dramatically than the medial eyebrow. A brow lift helps address age related changes to the eyebrows. The conditions a brow lift helps address include:

Brow Lift

<ul>
<li>The lateral temporal brow lift is the brow lift procedure Dr. Harmon performs most frequently</li>
<li>The lateral temporal brow lift involves two small incisions in the hair to help address the most common age-related changes in the region of the eyebrow</li>
<li>The lateral temporal brow lift incisions are often covered by long hair while they are healing</li>
<li>Bruising and swelling usually resolve quickly after a lateral temporal brow lift</li>
<li>Can be performed with an upper blepharoplasty and facial fat grafting of the temples to address signs of facial aging in the region more comprehensively</li>
</ul>

What is a Brow Lift?

A brow lift is a surgical procedure performed for the purpose of lifting the eyebrows, which can droop and hang over the lateral portion of the upper eyelids with age. One or multiple incisions are made in and around the hair-bearing scalp. The number of incisions and the location(s) of the incision(s) is/are dependent on the direction and severity of eyebrow drooping as well as secondary goals including, but not limited to, raising or lowering the patient's hairline. The fibrous attachments of the eyebrows to the bony rim of the eyes are released with every approach. The eyebrows are lifted and secured in one or multiple directions using sutures and/or other materials. The most common brow lift procedure Dr. Harmon performs is the lateral temporal brow lift, which involves two small incisions placed within the hair to access and lift the eyebrows and the temples. The lateral temporal brow lift is among the least invasive approaches to a brow lift. It helps address the most commonly experienced features of age-related changes to the eyebrows.

Overview of the Procedure

The team at Harmon Facial Plastic Surgery works tirelessly to prepare patients well for surgery. The time spent with patients and resources provided facilitates a smooth transition from surgery through recovery. The following overview is a broad summary of the information provided to patients:

<img class="contentImg" title="Brow lift in Cincinnati, Ohio" src="https://harmon.wtgdigital.io/assets/5915b0c0-46ae-42db-92ea-388dd2b00f4e/pexels-shiny-diamond-3373729.jpg" alt="Brow lift in Cincinnati, Ohio" data-asset="f92ddb37e7524a61b08912e9fe073903" data-credit="Shiny Diamond" data-credit-url="https://www.pexels.com/photo/close-up-photo-of-person-s-eye-3373729/" data-mod="width:1200">
There are a range of approaches to lifting the eyebrows, the best of which depends on the specific anatomy of a patient as well as their aesthetic goals. While the list below is not comprehensive, it highlights two important approaches to the brow lift as well as the considerations that go into choosing which is the most appropriate approach. It is important to seek not only a fellowship-trained but also a <a href="https://www.harmonface.com/blog/doubledual-board-certified-facial-plastic-surgeon-what-does-it-mean-why-is-it-important">double board-certified facial plastic surgeon</a> if you have aesthetic concerns about your face and/or neck.

<h2 class="contentTitle">A Lateral Temporal Brow Lift Naturally Addresses the Most Common Age-Related Concern Patients Have About Drooping Brows</h2>
The <a href="/plastic-surgery/brow-lift" target="_self">lateral temporal brow lift</a>, also referred to as an endoscopic brow lift, can address the most common concerns about the eyebrows. Most individuals express concern about age-related drooping of the lateral eyebrows over their eyes. This can result in &ldquo;hooding&rdquo; or an overhang of skin and fat over the lateral eyes. As a result, the eyebrow can develop an exaggerated curve where the lateralmost portion of the eyebrow curves down around the eye rather can canting upward laterally. The lateral temporal brow lift lifts the lateral brow up and out in a tension-free manner, which is key to a natural, long-lasting result. Only two incisions placed behind the hairline are required. The lateral temporal lift can lift the medial brow up to approximately 3 mm as well. If more than approximately 3 mm of medial brow lift is required, the medial brows can be lifted more with only two additional small incisions hidden in the hair. The lateral temporal lift results in no removal of skin or hair follicles, an enormous benefit associated with the procedure.
<h2 class="contentTitle">A Pretrichial or Trichophytic Brow Lift May Be a Good Option for Revision Procedures and Those with a High Hairline Seeking to Lower It</h2>
Another approach to the brow lift involves a longer incision extending across the hairline. The incision can be placed slightly into the hairline (trichophytic) or along the hairline (pretrichial). A pretrichial or trichophytic brow lift may be the best approach for those individuals who are not only seeking a brow lift but who also have a very high hairline, such as men with <a href="/hair/hair-loss-treatment">receding hairlines</a> or women with a high forehead. This technique can lower the hairline and improve the appearance of the forehead. This technique is also potentially a good option for revision procedures in which a previous lift was too aggressive, resulting in a &ldquo;surprised&rdquo; appearance to the eyes.
<h2 class="contentTitle">Trust Your Face to a Facial Plastic Surgeon</h2>
It is important to seek a fellowship-trained specialist in plastic surgery of the face and neck when you have concerns about drooping eyebrows.

How Do Brow Lift Procedures Differ?

<img class="contentImg" title="Brow Lift and Upper Eyelid (Blepharoplasty)Surgery in Cincinnati, Ohio" src="https://harmon.wtgdigital.io/assets/f2f47467-b255-4c53-b825-5ce526505e33/pexels-chloe-amaya-1047565-4079215.jpg" alt="Brow Lift and Upper Eyelid (Blepharoplasty)Surgery in Cincinnati, Ohio" data-asset="be54548d22944d308174a1972a706b5c" data-credit="Chloe Amaya" data-credit-url="https://www.pexels.com/photo/person-face-in-close-up-photo-4079215/" data-mod="width:1200">
Our experience at Harmon Facial Plastic Surgery has been that most people do not present to our clinic specifically requesting a brow lift, let alone requesting to &ldquo;lift of my entire eyebrow&nbsp;x inches.&rdquo; Instead, most present feeling like their eyes look less open and are unsure why. They may pinch the skin on their upper eyelids, describing difficulty with applying makeup because it gets &ldquo;caught under the folds of skin up there.&rdquo; They often also pull up the side of their brows, explaining how this makes them feel more youthful, that more sunlight reaches their eyes this way. Broadly, these individuals seek an intervention that can open their eyes back up, highlighting their beautiful shape and color. Surgery is usually the best way to achieve this. It is important to consider both the eyebrows and the upper eyelids when developing a surgical plan because, while treatment of the eyebrows or the eyelids may be effective by themselves, treating both areas together is often the most effective and natural appearing. It is important to seek not only a fellowship-trained but also a <a href="https://www.harmonface.com/blog/doubledual-board-certified-facial-plastic-surgeon-what-does-it-mean-why-is-it-important">double board-certified facial plastic surgeon</a> if you have aesthetic concerns about your face and/or neck.
<h2 class="contentTitle">Excessive Upper Eyelid Skin Removal with Surgery Can Make a Brow Lift Impossible</h2>
Dr. Harmon has consulted with and treated multiple patients who have undergone <a href="/plastic-surgery/blepharoplasty">upper eyelid (blepharoplasty) surgery</a> elsewhere and now seek treatment of their drooping eyebrows. Too often, these individuals have presented with excessive skin and fat removal in the eyes. The telltale signs of this can include:
<ol>
<li>A wide scar which is usually placed too close to the eyelash margin and away from the natural upper eyelid crease.</li>
<li>Excessive show of the upper portion of the eyeball, called excess tarsal show.</li>
<li>Difficulty closing the eyes, called lagophthalmos, which is not always apparent when awake but can be apparent when asleep.</li>
</ol>
These individuals may not be able to undergo a brow lift because their eyes do not close completely if the brow is lifted. These examples demonstrate the connection between the eyebrow and upper eyelid. It is why Dr. Harmon always considers both areas when assessing the most appropriate treatment for age-related changes around the eyes.
<h2 class="contentTitle">The Lateral Temporal Brow Lift Can Restore Some of the Youthful Eye &ldquo;Glow&rdquo;</h2>
<a href="/plastic-surgery/brow-lift">The lateral temporal brow lift</a> is a surgical procedure that can address the most common feature of aging in the eyebrow, the drooping of its most lateral portion. Drooping can lead to hooding over the upper eyelid where the volume of the brow hangs over the lateral edge of the eye, making the eyes look less open. This procedure is performed with only two small incisions within the hair. And, while this may be the only procedure necessary to achieve the desired results, the upper eyelid itself also needs to be evaluated.
<h2 class="contentTitle">Upper Eyelid (Blepharoplasty) Surgery Can Also Restore Some of the Youthful Eye &ldquo;Glow&rdquo;</h2>
<a href="/plastic-surgery/blepharoplasty">Upper eyelid (blepharoplasty) surgery</a> is focused on excess folds of skin that can develop on the upper eyelid itself but extend to the interface with the drooping brow tissue. Importantly, every eyelid is different, even on the same individual. As a result, while the basic shape of the excision remains the same, there are and should be slight differences in how the skin is excised because of those often-subtle differences in the skin. Dr. Harmon also lifts the lateral brows when designing the upper eyelid surgery to preserve the ability to address the eyebrows in the future if that need/desire arises.
<h2 class="contentTitle">The Lateral Temporal Brow Lift and Upper Eyelid (Blepharoplasty) Can Be Complementary</h2>
The lateral temporal brow lift and upper eyelid (blepharoplasty) surgery can complement each other because these anatomical sites interact and blend in with each other. As a result, one cannot consider one procedure without considering the other. This philosophy carries through to other areas as well, for example, in the way the <a href="/plastic-surgery/facelift/deep-plane-facelift">extended deep plane facelift</a> complements the <a href="/plastic-surgery/neck-lift">neck lift</a> more completely than other facelift procedures. The following two patients are examples of the power of the combination of the procedures to "open up" the eyes in a natural appearing way.

How to Treat Drooping, Hooded Eyes That Can Make Us Look Tired

<img class="contentImg" title="Brow lift in Cincinnati, Ohio" src="https://harmon.wtgdigital.io/assets/1f3eab07-dd1e-4299-8962-38b4f10241f3/Brow%20Lift" alt="Brow lift in Cincinnati, Ohio" data-asset="f08f2f1de5c946ff9c7eadd249155441" data-credit="Dhyamis Kleber" data-credit-url="https://www.pexels.com/photo/person-showing-left-eye-609549/" data-mod="width:1200">
More advanced surgical techniques for addressing a drooping brow have been developed as our understanding of facial anatomy has advanced. This is in line with an evolving preference for more natural, subtle results for a brow lift. People with concerns about drooping eyebrows often benefit from a lateral temporal brow lift.
Women tend to have a more &ldquo;peaked&rdquo; eyebrow than men. However, as aesthetic preferences have changed this peak has become less dramatic, reflecting a more sophisticated desire for a natural look to their eyebrows. That is where the lateral temporal brow lift comes in.
The <a href="/plastic-surgery/brow-lift">lateral temporal brow lift</a> is the most advanced surgical technique to provide a long-lasting, natural, improvement in drooping eyebrows while preventing the development of an unnaturally &ldquo;surprised&rdquo; appearance. It is the best approach for most patients, who are usually bothered by drooping of the sides of the eyebrows. Like the extended deep plane facelift, the lateral temporal lift involves the release of all the tension points around the eyebrow so that it can be lifted precisely and without tension, thereby improving results, healing, and longevity of the procedure.
It is important to seek not only a fellowship-trained but also a <a href="https://www.harmonface.com/blog/doubledual-board-certified-facial-plastic-surgeon-what-does-it-mean-why-is-it-important">double board-certified facial plastic surgeon</a> if you have aesthetic concerns about your face and/or neck.

Brow%20 Lift

History of Brow Aesthetics and Lateral Temporal Brow Lift

What to Expect from Recovery

Recovery from a brow lift is specific to the individual. The duration of recovery will vary from person to person.&nbsp;
Initial recovery time from a brow lift procedure is approximately seven (7) to ten (10) days for most individuals.&nbsp;
Sutures are removed in a staged fashion at approximately seven (7) and ten (10) days after surgery. The healing process does not end after ten (10) days, however. For example, the incisions continue to heal for months after surgery.
Some swelling and bruising are expected after a brow lift. Post-operative swelling and bruising generally improve significantly by seven (7) to ten (10) days after surgery. Swelling and bruising around the incisions are expected to continue to improve and resolve in the ensuing days and weeks.

Testimonials

See what patients are saying about their experiences with Dr. Harmon and his exceptional care.

Ideal Candidates for Brow Lift

Ideal candidates for brow lift include those patients who demonstrate:<ul><li>Drooping of the lateral eyebrows over the eyes, which can make the eyes appear less open and patients appear tired</li><li>Drooping of the medial eyebrows near the nose</li></ul>

Most candidates for a brow lift range in age from thirties (30s) to seventies (70s). A consultation is essential to determine candidacy for the procedure, because there may be factors that preclude this procedure for certain individuals. A consultation will help establish reasonable expectations about what a brow lift can and cannot accomplish as well as any anatomic and/or physiological factors that may influence results. As with all facial plastic surgery procedures, results can vary.

Types of Brow Lift Procedures

The types of brow lift procedures are distinguished by the number and location of the incisions. The most appropriate surgical approach depends on the patient's aesthetic concerns as well as whether there are secondary treatment goals of surgery other than lifting drooping eyebrows.
