As we age, skin laxity causes several areas of the face to sag. This is especially true in the upper face region and typically impacts both men and women. When looking at yourself in a mirror, do you seem tired or angry, see frown lines in between your brows, or are bothered by a drooping brow? If this is the case, a brow lift at Motakef Plastic Surgery + Med Spa could be the ideal aesthetic procedure for you.

Depending on the type of brow lift you are undergoing and the extent of the procedure, a brow lift can be performed under local anesthesia, intravenous sedation, or general anesthesia. The incision technique used during a brow lift is determined based on the severity of brow “ptosis” or droopiness, skin sag, the position of the patient’s hairline, and what part of the forehead is affected. Different techniques may be used:

• Traditional Incision
  Also called the open brow lift incision, this puts the surgical incision at the top of the head, behind the hairline. This incision not only hides scars, but it also allows a certain degree of controlled lifting throughout the procedure. This type of incision is good for those with both frown lines and a sagging brow.
• Trichophytic Incision
  The trichophytic or transfollicular incision is made right along the hairline. A trichophytic incision allows a more dramatic lift in the brow for patients who have extensive skin laxity and brow droop. When planned and executed precisely, this incision heals well and less conspicuous scarring can be obtained.

• Lateral Brow Lift
  Also called a temporal browplasty, the lateral method places the incision inside the hairline slightly over the temples. The lateral incision permits the outer parts of the brow to be lifted and works well for sagging that is present in the outer brow. A temporal brow lift can also help smooth or correct crow’s feet.
• Endoscopic Forehead Lift
  The endoscopic lift is a more modern technique employed in browplasty surgery. It makes multiple, small incisions behind the hairline through which a tool called an “endoscope” can be inserted.  The endoscope is a small camera that allows the brow to be lifted through a minimally invasive approach. Using the endoscope and special instruments, dissection can proceed to the level of the eyebrows, which can then be freed from their attachments and lifted. The brow tissue is then suspended using stitches to lift the brow to a better position. While this strategy is less invasive than the other methods described, it is not well suited for patients who desire a more aggressive brow lift.
