If you’re bothered by sagging eyebrows, deep forehead creases, or a tired expression that doesn’t reflect how you feel inside, a brow lift may offer the subtle yet powerful rejuvenation you’re looking for. At Snyder Plastic Surgery, Dr. Ned Snyder offers advanced brow lift techniques to lift and smooth the upper face. The result is a more alert, youthful appearance that still looks like you, just refreshed.
What Is a Brow Lift?
A brow lift, also called a forehead lift, is a surgical procedure that raises the position of the brows and smooths wrinkles across the forehead and between the eyes. This treatment can correct a heavy brow, soften frown lines, and reduce sagging that causes the upper eyelids to look hooded. By elevating the brow to a more youthful position, a brow lift helps restore a naturally refreshed and approachable appearance.
This procedure is often performed on its own or in combination with other facial procedures such as eyelid surgery or a facelift.
Why Patients Choose Brow Lift Surgery
Many patients pursue a brow lift when nonsurgical treatments like Botox are no longer producing their desired effect, or when they’re looking for longer-lasting improvement. A brow lift can improve:
- Horizontal forehead lines
- Drooping or asymmetrical brows
- Hooding of the upper eyelids
- Vertical frown lines between the eyebrows
- A tired, stern, or aged facial expression
Dr. Snyder’s approach prioritizes natural results. The goal is not to change your features but to refresh and rebalance them in a way that feels authentic to you.
Who Is a Good Candidate for a Brow Lift?
Ideal candidates for brow lift surgery:
- Have sagging brows or deep forehead lines
- Feel their facial expression looks tired, angry, or older than they feel
- Are in overall good health and do not smoke
- Have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes
During your consultation, Dr. Snyder will evaluate your skin, facial structure, and goals to determine if a brow lift is the best procedure for your needs. Some patients may benefit more from eyelid surgery or a combination of both.
Types of Brow Lift Techniques
At Snyder Plastic Surgery, multiple brow lift techniques are available to address different anatomy and aesthetic preferences:
Endoscopic Brow Lift
A less invasive option using a small camera (endoscope) and tiny incisions behind the hairline. The brow is lifted with minimal scarring and quicker recovery. Ideal for patients with moderate sagging.
Coronal Brow Lift
This classic technique involves an incision across the top of the scalp, hidden within the hair. It provides comprehensive correction for patients with significant drooping and forehead wrinkles.
Direct Brow Lift
Incisions are placed just above the brows, allowing precise repositioning of brow tissues. This technique is typically recommended for patients with deep-set eyes or prominent brow asymmetry.
Temporal (Lateral) Brow Lift
Targets the outer brow area and crow’s feet. Often combined with upper eyelid surgery for a more subtle rejuvenation focused on the eyes.
Dr. Snyder will recommend the best approach based on your facial structure, aging pattern, and goals.
The Brow Lift Process
Understanding what to expect throughout your brow lift journey can help you prepare both physically and mentally for surgery and recovery.
What to Expect: Step-by-Step
Your consultation with Dr. Snyder in Austin or Round Rock includes a review of your medical history, an examination of your forehead and brow anatomy, and a discussion of your goals. Together, you’ll select the most appropriate surgical technique. You’ll also receive detailed preoperative instructions, including medication guidance and tips to optimize healing and recovery.
Brow lift surgery is performed under general or local anesthesia in a fully accredited surgical facility. Dr. Snyder begins by making the necessary incisions, either behind the hairline or just above the brows, depending on the chosen method. Using advanced techniques, he repositions and secures the brow tissues, removes excess skin, and closes the incisions with care to minimize scarring. The procedure typically takes 1 to 2 hours.
Following surgery, patients may experience swelling, bruising, and tightness in the forehead. Keeping your head elevated and using cold compresses will help ease discomfort. Dr. Snyder will provide detailed instructions for recovery, including wound care, medication, and activity restrictions.
Most patients return to non-strenuous activities within 7 to 10 days. Minor swelling and bruising may take a few weeks to fully resolve. Makeup can be used to cover discoloration once approved. Full healing and final results will develop over several months.
