Many times the furrows and wrinkles that accompany the aging process can make a person’s expression appear angry, tired or disgruntled, diminishing their social comfort and causing them deep dissatisfaction with their appearance. A brow lift can help treat these issues, restoring self-confidence and a positive self-image.

A brow lift, a minimally invasive procedure that lifts and smooths the forehead, costs $6,100.
Also known as a forehead lift, a brow lift helps correct sagging of the eyebrows, frown lines and forehead creases that can negatively influence the facial appearance.
Depending on various factors, the procedure can be performed a variety of ways: with a hairline scar; with temple scars; or endoscopically, with small scars behind the upper hairline in the scalp. The objective is a smoother, more rejuvenated forehead and a brighter appearance to the face and eyes.
Good candidates for a brow lift are generally men and women over 35 who have deep frown lines, forehead creases and excess tissue of the upper eyelids, particularly lateral hooding over the eyes. Some individuals have brow descent or low brows that make them look angry or tired.
Clients should be in good mental and physical health, with realistic expectations for improvement rather than perfection. This procedure may be combined with blepharoplasty (removal of excess eyelid skin), a facelift, neck lift, or facial fat grafting to rejuvenate the entire face. During the initial consultation you will discuss with Dr. Shermak what you would like to improve so she can understand your expectations and determine how to best achieve the desired result.
The brow lift is not overdone. The brows will maintain their shape with elevation that opens the eyes and allows you look more rested and refreshed.
Most individuals undergo the endoscopic approach that involves small incisions hidden in the hair. This approach leads to a refreshed improvement. There are other approaches that use an eyelid incision which, in concert with upper lid surgery, leave no visible scar, great for individuals with thinning hair. To correct isolated hooding over the side of the eye, an incision hidden in the temple hairline can elevate the side of the brow and even the upper cheek. The traditional brow lift incision historically traveled along the forehead hairline, was more visible and caused scalp numbness – this incision is rarely used.
Surgery is performed on an outpatient basis. You may experience temporary swelling, numbness, discomfort, and bruising. Most resume regular activities and return to work after one week. Stitches or staples are removed approximately 1 week after surgery.
