What Is an Eyebrow Lift?
An eyebrow lift, also known as a brow lift, is a surgical procedure that repositions a lowered or drooping brow. By lifting the brow tissues, the procedure can reduce heaviness around the upper eyes and reposition the brows in relation to the surrounding facial features.
What Can an Eyebrow Lift Address?
An eyebrow lift may be used to address:
- Drooping or lowered eyebrows
- Heaviness or hooding around the upper eyes caused by brow descent
- Uneven brow position
- Forehead lines and creases that may improve when the forehead tissues are repositioned
How Does an Eyebrow Lift Work?
During an eyebrow lift, the tissues beneath the forehead and brow are repositioned and secured at a higher position. Depending on the approach, excess tissue may also be adjusted to improve the position and contour of the brow.
Understanding Your Eyebrow Lift Options
Different surgical approaches can address brow descent and heaviness around the brow and upper-eyelid area. The appropriate approach depends on the location of the concern, brow position, degree of descent, hairline and amount of correction required.
- Endoscopic Brow Lift: Uses small incisions within the hairline to reposition and lift the brow and forehead tissues.
- Sub-Brow Excision: Removes excess skin through an incision just below the eyebrow to address heaviness and skin laxity around the upper eyelid and brow area, while preserving the existing eyelid crease.
- Temporal Brow Lift: Focuses on lifting the outer portion of the brow through incisions placed around the temple hairline.
- Direct Brow Lift: Removes a small amount of skin directly above the eyebrow to lift and reposition the brow, with a scar positioned along the upper border of the brow.
Eyebrow Lift vs. Upper Eyelid Surgery: What's the Difference?
A lowered brow and excess upper eyelid skin can both contribute to heaviness or hooding around the eyes, but they involve different areas of the anatomy and may require different surgical approaches.
