Restore a more youthful, alert, and balanced appearance with a forehead and brow lift by David Isaacs, MD, our dual-fellowship trained oculofacial plastic surgeon. This procedure addresses drooping eyebrows, heavy upper eyelids, forehead wrinkles, brow asymmetry, and a tired or stern expression, helping you look as vibrant as you feel without compromising movement.
Lift Sagging Brows and Smooth Deep Lines
The eyebrows and forehead play a critical role in expressing emotions and framing the eyes. Over time, gravity, muscle activity, and loss of elasticity cause the brows to descend, resulting in a heavy or tired appearance. This often leads to upper eyelid hooding, deep horizontal forehead lines, and an overall look of fatigue or concern, even when you’re feeling rested. These changes not only impact facial harmony but can also interfere with vision in more severe cases.
A forehead or brow lift elevates the brows, smooths forehead wrinkles, and opens the eye area for a refreshed look. Dr. Isaacs offers minimally invasive techniques, such as the Anchor-Free Brow Lift™ and browpexy, to achieve long-lasting, natural results. His personalized approach ensures your brows are lifted in harmony with your facial features without looking overdone.
Forehead/Brow Lift Treats:
- Drooping or descended eyebrows that create a tired look
- Hooding of the upper eyelids caused by a low brow position
- Deep horizontal lines across the forehead
- Asymmetry between the brows
- A stern, angry, or fatigued expression despite feeling well
- Frown lines or “11s” between the eyebrows
- Sagging tissue that disrupts the natural eyebrow shape
- Obstruction of peripheral vision in severe brow descent
Dr. Isaacs’ Approach to Forehead/Brow Lift Surgery
Dr. Isaacs offers a range of advanced brow and forehead lift techniques tailored to your individual facial anatomy, aesthetic goals, and degree of brow descent. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, Dr. Isaacs carefully evaluates each patient to determine the most appropriate method, whether subtle or significant, for lifting the brows.
During your consultation, he will guide you through the options to find the ideal technique to ensure long-lasting, natural-looking results.
Direct Brow Lift
The direct brow lift is ideal for patients who need more dramatic correction, especially those with heavy brows. This technique involves making an incision just above the eyebrows to remove excess skin and elevate the brow to its ideal position. While this approach may leave a visible scar, it offers unparalleled precision and control, making it especially effective for patients with prominent brow droop or in revision cases. Dr. Isaacs carefully designs the incision to minimize scarring and ensures the result is functional and balanced.
Anchor-Free Brow Lift™
Dr. Isaacs has pioneered the Anchor-Free Brow Lift™, a minimally invasive, endoscopic technique that repositions the brows and forehead without screws, tunnels, or implants. Unlike traditional methods that use devices like Endotine®, this approach gently releases the periosteum, allowing for natural elevation while utilizing suspension sutures to secure the lift. These sutures are removed after one week. The procedure leaves minimal scarring and offers faster recovery, making it ideal for patients seeking a natural lift with fewer risks.
These are some of the key benefits of the Anchor-Free Brow Lift™:
- No screws, bone tunnels, or implants
- Minimal downtime with suture removal after one week
- Avoids complications associated with implants or bone fixation
- Natural, lifted results tailored to the patient’s anatomy and goals
- Performed endoscopically for minimal scarring and faster recovery
Browpexy
Browpexy is a conservative, minimally invasive technique that gently elevates the brows. Dr. Isaacs performs this procedure through a small incision in the upper eyelid crease, where he secures the brow to the deeper tissue layers for a subtle lift. This method is often performed in combination with upper blepharoplasty to address eyelid hooding while improving brow position. Browpexy is ideal for patients seeking a modest yet noticeable enhancement in their upper face, particularly when a full brow lift is not necessary.
Brassiere Sutures
Brassiere sutures are used to internally support the brow or forehead tissues, particularly in complex or revision cases. This involves placing fine internal sutures that “suspend” the soft tissues, creating a smooth and lifted contour without the need for external fixation. Dr. Isaacs may use brassiere sutures alone or in conjunction with other brow lift techniques to enhance the results or address anatomical challenges. This technique provides an added layer of structural support, helping maintain the longevity of the lift.
