Brow Lift

New York, NY

Introduction

Brow Lift

A droopy brow can hide the natural beauty of one’s eyes, and can make the face appear less youthful. If you want to refresh your upper face while maintaining a completely natural appearance, consider a brow lift from our Upper East Side facial plastic surgery office with Dr. Andrew Timberlake. The procedure is commonly performed with a facelift or eyelid surgery but can be a stand-alone procedure. If your desire is to look more youthful and refined, contact us today to schedule a one-on-one consultation.

About Brow Lift

What is a Brow Lift?

A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift or an eyebrow lift, is a plastic surgery procedure that raises your eyebrows and reduces wrinkles and fine lines on your forehead. By repositioning the muscles and fat in the brow region, Dr. Timberlake will reposition your eyebrow arch to its natural, youthful position to showcase your eyes and facial anatomy in a more optimal way while maintaining a completely natural appearance.

There are various brow lift techniques, however the technique most frequently performed by our group is the endoscopic brow lift. This technique allows Dr. Timberlake to restore your brow to a natural, youthful position with extremely small incisions that are completely hidden behind your hairline in your scalp. By performing the surgical dissection under direct vision using the small scope, bruising and swelling is minimized, allowing for the fastest recovery possible.

procedure-first-step

The first step in getting a brow lift is to schedule a consultation with plastic surgeon Dr. Andrew Timberlake. During the appointment, you can ask questions about the procedure, discuss your aesthetic goals, and share your concerns and expectations. Dr. Timberlake will examine your forehead and eyebrow line and share the various techniques with their risk-benefit analysis. If he deems you are a suitable candidate for the surgery, he will create a surgical plan for you. Once he creates it and you are on board with it, you can meet with our Patient Coordinator to schedule your surgery. You will also be provided with some instructions to promote a higher potential of having a smooth surgery and recovery.

What to expect

What to Expect on the Day of Brow Lift Surgery

On the day of your brow lift in New York, Dr. Timberlake and his team will welcome you, get you settled in an intake room, and go over the surgical plan once more in case you have any additional questions and/or concerns. Once you are satisfied, you will move to the operating suite, and an anesthesiologist will administer anesthesia.

 Once you are sedated, Dr. Timberlake will begin your surgery, carefully making well-concealed incisions within your hairline that minimize scarring. 

 Once he has finished manipulating the final position of the eyebrow, he will seal any incisions with sutures, completing the surgery with the necessary dressing.

On average, a brow lift will take just over an hour.

Recovery

Brow Lift Recovery

Your brow lift in New York will be an outpatient procedure. Once you are through with the surgery, you will be monitored in the recovery room until your sedation wears off. You will either be accompanied home by a family member or a nurse from our team.

Minor swelling and bruising are typical during the first few days after surgery and are mostly resolved after a week. Our team will review all postoperative care plans with you both before and after surgery, as these plans are customized to your surgical plan.
