What is Brow Lift Surgery?
Brow lift surgery, also known as a forehead lift, is a cosmetic procedure that aims to rejuvenate and enhance the appearance of the upper face. It involves raising the eyebrows and smoothing out wrinkles and lines on the forehead.
During the surgery, incisions are usually made just behind the hairline or within the scalp. In some gentlemen, incision placement on the forehead itself may be optimal. Dr. Spalla then lifts and repositions the underlying tissues, removes excess skin, and tightens muscles to achieve a youthful look. The incisions are closed using sutures.
This procedure can correct drooping brows, furrows between the eyebrows, sagging eyelids caused by low brows, and deep forehead creases. For comprehensive facial rejuvenation, brow lift surgery can be performed alone or with other facial procedures, such as facelifts or eyelid surgeries.

Different Types of Brow Lift Techniques
Endoscopic Brow Lift
This technique involves small incisions and a tiny camera to adjust the position of the eyebrows. It offers less visible scarring than traditional brow lift procedures.
Temporal or Limited Incision Brow Lift
This type of brow lift targets specific areas like the outer edge of the eyebrows, reducing signs of aging in a more focused way. It involves smaller incisions that heal quickly and leave minimal scarring.
Tricophytic (Hairline) Brow Lift
This technique utilizes an irregular incision just behind the frontal hairline to smooth wrinkles in the forehead and reposition the brow. This is the only method which can lower the hairline at the same time which is often desirable.
Direct Brow Lift
This procedure involves creating carefully designed incisions above the eyebrows. This procedure is typically reserved for patients who possess deep creases in their foreheads where the scars can be hidden.

Recovery and Aftercare
You should expect to experience swelling and bruising around the forehead and eyes, which can last up to two weeks. Applying cold compresses regularly can help reduce swelling and discomfort. It is advised to keep your head elevated while sleeping for at least a week after the procedure to minimize swelling. Follow the prescribed medication regimen provided by Dr. Spalla, including pain relievers and antibiotics, if necessary.
Keep incision sites clean and moist with recommended ointments to prevent infection; follow specific cleaning instructions provided by Dr. Spalla. Avoid strenuous activities or heavy lifting for several weeks following surgery, as it may disrupt the healing process. Protect your face from sun exposure by wearing a wide-brimmed hat and applying SPF 30+ sunscreen before going outdoors.
