Brow lift

The purpose of this procedure is to lift drooping eyebrows. It can be done alone or in combination with a cervicofacial lift or blepharoplasty.

The traditional browlift technique is to make an incision within the hair from one ear to the other. In recent years, a new endoscopic technique has been developed. Very small incisions are made in the scalp using a mini camera connected to a viewing screen. This method provides very natural results and has the advantage of leaving fewer scars and causing fewer complications. This procedure takes an hour and a half to perform and can be done under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. Recovery time is about ten days.

Following surgery

Postoperative pain is very moderate and can be relieved with Tylenol® or small doses of codeine.

Botox® injections can provide a browlift effect without surgery; however, injections must be repeated every four to six months.
