Jacksonville Brow Lift

Serving Patients in Jacksonville, Florida

Brow Lift / Forehead Rejuvenation

A brow lift is a surgical procedure that helps improve the contour and position of the eyebrow, as well as eliminate the furrows and wrinkles that result in a tired, sad, and angry appearance. As we age, the eyebrow descends and flattens and our eyebrows lose the normal arch which creates a sagging appearance to our upper eyes. A brow lift or forehead lift will restore the brows normal position and arch, and it can also eliminate the furrows/wrinkles of the forehead.

There are a number of different ways to perform a Brow Lift (see below for more information). The amount of elevation is critical as some surgeons can overdue this and create a “surprised” appearance. Dr. Desai elevates the brow and creates a natural arch to result in a younger and smoother appearing forehead.

Our facial plastic surgery team will help you decide which technique best suits your needs. At the Desai Center of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, we believe that patients, their desires, and anatomy are all unique. Therefore, Dr. Desai evaluates each patient and creates a customized surgical plan for all of his patients.

Endoscopic Brow Lift, Cosmetic Surgery in Jacksonville

Dr. Desai was trained to perform the endoscopic brow lift by the pioneer and innovator of the technique, Dr. Luis Vasconez during his time at the University of Alabama @ Birmingham Through three small incisions (1-2 cm) and the use of a camera connected to a television monitor, the eyebrow is elevated and the muscles that create the angry furrows are weakened. The eyebrow is then elevated with sutures or temporary screw fixation. The procedure takes about an hour and can be performed either under local anesthesia with some mild sedation or under general anesthesia. Patients can generally return home the same day. To learn more, please schedule a consultation with Dr. Desai and our Florida plastic surgery team.

Temporal Brow Lift – Minimally Invasive

A temporal brow lift is used to elevate the lateral portion of the eyebrow to restore the natural youthful arch of the brow lost with the aging process. Through a small incision (2-3 cm) behind the hairline, the lateral brow is freed from its underlying attachments to the bone and elevated. There are no scars on the face or forehead. Although a temporal brow lift does not address the muscles causing the angry furrows, performing a temporal brow lift in conjunction with the use of BOTOX can result in results similar to an endoscopic brow lift and minimizes incisions. Please call our Jacksonville cosmetic surgery team at (904) 262-DESAI (3372) or (877) 790-0095 to schedule a consultation and to learn more about this procedure.

Conventional Brow Lift, Cosmetic Surgery in Jacksonville

A conventional brow lift is performed through an incision behind the hairline in a coronal pattern (from ear to ear like wearing headphones). If your hair is receding, the incision maybe placed directly at the hairline to prevent adding even more height to your forehead (non-hair bearing areas). Most scars become inconspicuous within the hair as they heal.

Before the procedure begins, your hair will be tied in rubber bands, but will not be shaved. Once the incision is made, the skin and muscles are elevated to gain access to muscles and eyebrow. The eyebrow is elevated to its normal more youthful position and the muscles producing those angry appearing wrinkles are weakened. The excess skin is then removed and the skin closed with stitches. To learn more, please schedule a consultation with Dr. Desai and our Ponte Vedra plastic surgery team.

Preparing for your Jacksonville Brow Lift / Forehead Lift

Both men and women of all ages with deepened furrows or wrinkles, drooping brows, and loss of the normal eyebrow arch are candidates.

How do I prepare for my brow lift?

Patients undergoing either an open or endoscopic brow list should ensure their blood pressure is well-controlled and should stop an medications that increase bleeding, such as aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil), etc. Please ask our cosmetic surgery team for more info.

Recovering after your Brow Lift / Forehead Lift

Our Jacksonville cosmetic surgery team will help ensure a rapid recovery. Sleeping with your head elevated helps blood drain and minimizes bruising and swelling.

The mild pain associated with a brow lift is generally well-controlled with oral pain medications and usually improves in the first few days. There may be some temporary numbness of the forehead, but this resolves over the coming weeks.
