Brow Lift Introduction

Your forehead plays an important role in nonverbal communication, so having drooping eyebrows or deep furrows can make you look older, more tired, and even angry at times.

If you’re seeking the benefits this procedure can provide, Board-certified New York plastic surgeon Dr. Bianca Molina has the experience and artistic eye to help you enhance your overall appearance, making you look and feel more confident.

What is a Brow Lift?

A brow lift is a cosmetic procedure that addresses sagging brows and forehead wrinkles by lifting the eyebrows into a higher position, creating a more youthful and aesthetically pleasing appearance. When performing a brow lift, Dr. Molina will reposition your eyebrow arch to a more elevated and flattering position.

A Brow Lift may be performed using one or more of these different techniques:

Coronal Lift

A coronal brow lift incision is made on the crown of your head, further back into the hairline. This approach was performed more traditionally. 

Direct Brow Lift

Sometimes called a mid-forehead lift or “gull-wing” lift, a direct brow lift removes a section of skin and underlying tissue above the eyebrows or in the forehead. This procedure is best for patients with severely drooping brows and existing forehead wrinkles where Dr. Molina can naturally hide the incision. This procedure can also address eyebrow shape and asymmetry.

Endoscopic Brow Lift

The endoscopic brow lift elevates the eyebrows using a small camera to visualize the underlying connective tissue of the brow and reposition it under direct visualization. This technique only requires a few small incisions hidden in the hairline, leaving no visible scar. Using the endoscopic brow lift technique, the brows can be elevated and reshaped without leaving a scar on the facial skin.

During your consultation, Dr. Molina will discuss the pros and cons of each technique so that you can determine which option is best.

Brow Lift First Step

What’s the first step?

The first step in getting a brow lift is to schedule your consultation with Dr. Bianca Molina at our Manhattan office. During your consultation, Dr. Molina will examine your face and review your medical history to create a personalized treatment plan that integrates your aesthetic preferences, individual needs, and desired results.

Dr. Molina will then create your surgical plan, including the technique she plans on using, the anesthesia, and every other aspect of the procedure. If you are satisfied with the plan, a member of our Concierge Team will schedule your surgery and provide you with pre-operative instructions to promote the most successful surgical results.

What to Expect On the Day of Brow Lift Surgery

On the day of your brow lift, you will meet with Dr. Molina, who will review the steps of your surgery with you. Once you are ready, you will be administered general anesthesia by an anesthesiologist so you can be comfortably sedated during your procedure. In certain cases, and with prior discussion, this procedure can also be performed under local anesthesia.

Once you are sedated, Dr. Molina will begin your surgery using the technique that was chosen during the consultation. A brow lift typically takes 45 minutes to an hour and a half, depending on the technique Dr. Molina uses

Brow Lift Recovery

As an outpatient procedure, most patients return home with the help of an approved escort. Some mild swelling and bruising are expected, which should subside over the coming days. Dr. Molina can prescribe mild prescription pain medication to relieve any discomfort. We will provide you with post-operative instructions to help make your recovery as easy and successful as possible.

During the first five days after your procedure, you should walk around and elevate your head to help manage swelling. You will need to refrain from strenuous exercise or activity during the first few weeks. Most patients can return to work in about a week and expect to return to full activity four weeks after a brow lift.

As with any surgical procedure, there is some scarring from a brow lift procedure, however, the area of the incisions is designed so that the scars will be well-hidden within the hairline or within natural skin creases.

Brow Lift Cost

Brow Lift FAQ’S

  • “My whole life I’ve had hooded eyes. Last week I underwent an upper blepharoplasty with Dr. Molina, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! The procedure was done under local anesthesia and took under an hour; it started with Dr. Molina mapping out the skin to be removed, and once the anesthesia kicked in, she started to remove the excess skin, and finally, cauterized the incisions and sewed in stitches. I got up off of the operating table on my own, and a friend drove me home. I iced frequently during the first 72 hours, and started healing very quickly. This week, she removed the stitches and it was truly painless – it felt like a little tickle as they glided out in one whole piece per eye. I am waiting for the bruising to clear, and have been taking arnica to help with the process. By next week (two weeks out) I think I should look top notch. Already, I can barely see where the incisions were made. I feel instantly more youthful, have more confidence without makeup, and cannot wait to show off my new eyes this spring and summer.”
