MJ Paciorek PLASTIC SURGERY What is a Brow Lift?
If you’ve noticed sagging brows, deep forehead lines, or a tired appearance around the eyes, a brow lift could be the solution. Also known as a forehead lift, this surgical procedure gently repositions the brow line, smooths forehead wrinkles, and opens up the eye area—helping you look refreshed, alert, and naturally youthful.
Common Treatment Areas:
- Forehead wrinkles and creases
- Sagging or heavy brows
- Frown lines (between the eyebrows)
- Hooding of the upper eyelids due to low brows
How Brow Lift Works
During a brow lift, small incisions are strategically placed—often hidden within the hairline—to allow for gentle repositioning of the brow tissues. Depending on the technique, Dr. Paciorek may use an endoscopic approach (minimally invasive with a camera) or a traditional method. The muscles that contribute to frown lines can be adjusted, and excess skin may be smoothed, resulting in a naturally elevated, youthful brow position.
Ideal Candidates
A brow lift is ideal for individuals who:
– Have sagging or drooping brows that make them look tired or angry
– Struggle with deep forehead wrinkles or frown lines
– Experience hooded upper eyelids due to brow position
– Are in good general health and have realistic expectations
– Want long-lasting, noticeable rejuvenation
What You Can Expect
- Surgical Procedure: Performed in a surgical setting with anesthesia. Depending on the approach, the procedure may take 1–2 hours.
- Recovery: Some swelling and bruising is normal. Most patients return to daily activities within 10–14 days, though full healing may take a few weeks.
- Lasting Results: Results are visible immediately after recovery and can last 10 years or longer, depending on skin health and lifestyle.
