Looking in the mirror and noticing a frown you didn't wear yesterday? Drooping brows can add years to your face. Brow lift surgery can help restore a youthful look, erasing frown lines and re-opening your eyes for a brighter, more energetic appearance.
Regain a youthful, refreshed look with a Brow Lift at Aesthetic Plastic Surgery of Pittsburgh. Our surgical team is led by Dr. Liang, a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience in facial rejuvenation procedures, including Brow Lift. He offers Brow Lift surgery to patients in the Pittsburgh area seeking to restore a more youthful and energetic appearance to their upper face.
A Brow Lift or forehead lift rejuvenates the eyes and forehead area, giving it a more revitalized and youthful appearance. This operation is typically performed on women who want to address sagging brows and reduce the appearance of horizontal lines and wrinkles, which can make them look sad, angry, or exhausted. To provide an overall smoother facial appearance, a Brow Lift is often conducted jointly with a facelift. In addition, blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery may be performed simultaneously with a forehead lift, especially if a patient has substantial skin overhang in the upper eyelids. In some cases, patients who believe they need upper-eyelid surgery may find that a forehead lift better suits their aesthetic goals. Patients with thinning hair, a receding hairline, a history of previous upper-eyelid surgery, or dry eyes may still be suitable candidates for Brow Lift. The surgeon can simply adjust the incision location or perform a less invasive procedure to achieve the desired results.
Brow Lift surgery can significantly enhance your appearance and boost your confidence. By addressing drooping brows, horizontal forehead lines, and frown lines, a Brow Lift creates a more youthful, refreshed, and approachable look. Here's how you can benefit:

While age is not a definitive factor, Brow Lift is most commonly performed on patients between 40 and 60 years old.

There are some situations where Brow Lift may not be recommended, such as:
During your initial consultation, you will have the opportunity to discuss your concerns, desired outcomes, and medical history in detail. One of our expert board-certified plastic surgeons will perform a thorough examination of your face, including the brows, forehead, and surrounding tissues. He will explain the Brow Lift procedure in detail, including different surgical techniques, potential risks, and benefits, and answer any questions you may have. Once you decide to proceed with Brow Lift, Dr. Liang's team will provide you with specific instructions to prepare for surgery, such as:
Brow Lift procedures are typically performed on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. The specific technique used will depend on your individual needs and Dr. Liang's surgical approach. Generally, the procedure follows these steps:
The entire Brow Lift procedure typically takes one to two hours to complete.
While initial improvement is visible right after the Brow Lift, expect swelling and bruising to subside within a few weeks. The final, refined results take two to three months to emerge. Plan for one to two weeks of downtime for recovery, following your surgeon’s instructions on pain management, incision care (minimizing infection and scarring), avoiding strenuous activity, and sun protection. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle with proper diet, exercise, and sun protection can help you enjoy your youthful look for years to come.
While Brow Lift costs vary based on your customized procedure and location, we will provide a personalized estimate during your consultation. Factors influencing cost include the surgical technique, anesthesia type, facility fees, and any combination procedures. The surgical fees are typically included, but anesthesia and facility fees may be separate. Explore financing options to make your Brow Lift journey smoother.
