One of the most frustrating signs of aging occurs in the forehead and the eyebrows, which descend with advancing years, causing a tired, grumpy or disheveled appearance. Brow lift surgery is a wonderful solution to these problems and can restore a friendly, outgoing appearance and youthful, rested aesthetic.
What is a brow lift?
There are many factors that can cause changes in the appearance of the forehead and brows. The main reason is usually age related, such as the loss of fat volume and the chronic effect of gravity. Smoking, sun damage or environmental stress may also cause changes in the appearance of the brows. Several different types of brow lifts can be performed, and Dr. Zampell will choose the one best suited to your unique anatomy after performing a physical evaluation at your consultation.
A coronal brow lift entails a single incision made along the hairline where it is well hidden. An endoscopic brow lift requires small incisions also within the hairline and is performed with a small camera that promotes greater accuracy and precision. A temporal brow lift is used for combating a hooded appearance, with the incision also hidden within the hairline.
A direct brow lift involves incisions made directly above the eyebrows and can be used to treat a patient with significant forehead wrinkles and creases. While the brow lift can be successful in treating drooping brows and forehead creases, it is often paired with eyelid surgery to revitalize the entire upper face. Dr. Zampell can create a customized combination procedure to help completely revamp your self-confidence when you look in the mirror.

Some swelling and bruising is normal after a brow lift, and can be well treated with ice packs and cold compresses as well as pain medication prescribed by the doctor. You should take several days off to rest and heal, avoiding eye strain as well as sun exposure and strenuous activity. Once your swelling has disappeared, you will enjoy a rejuvenated forehead and brow appearance.
Who is a good candidate for a brow lift?
Clients who are unhappy with the appearance of the upper third of their face will find the brow lift is an excellent procedure to combat their frustrations.
