Brow Lift (Upper Facelift)
Conveniently located to serve the areas of Dallas, TX
Do you often appear more haggard or stressed than you feel? Do you look in the mirror and see an angry-looking face when you’re actually feeling calm and serene? Often, issues in the forehead and eyebrow region can cause problems such as these. A furrowed brow, frown lines and drooping, sagging eyebrows can create a tired, angry or sad expression that doesn’t represent your true mood. Dallas, TX plastic surgeon, Dr. Steven J. White, performs brow lift surgery to correct these common signs of aging. This surgery focuses on correcting lifting the eyebrow by repositioning the forehead skin to improve the appearance of low set eyebrows. This creates an instant improvement for patients, giving them a fresher, younger, more “awakened” look. Dr. White is a seasoned brow lift surgeon and offers numerous techniques depending on the patient’s aesthetic goals and skin condition.

Best Candidates
The best candidates for those seeking brow lift surgery, include men and/or women who have:
- Low set eyebrows that produce a “tired” or “frowning” appearance
- Sagging eyelid that is caused by a droopy brow
- Forehead wrinkles that appear near the brow
- Overall good health; non-smokers
What to Expect
During the initial consultation, we will evaluate the overall health of the skin, which will include skin quality and looseness. He will also evaluate the folds and wrinkles of the forehead and hairline, as well as the position of the inner, middle and outer portions of the eyebrows and the upper eyelids. This evaluation will help him to determine if a brow lift is the best procedure, and eliminate if an eyelid lift is needed instead. During a brow lift, one of several possible surgical techniques will be used. Some common incision approaches include along the natural upper eyelid crease or the brow’s hairline. A slightly more invasive approach is a coronal incision, which runs from ear to ear underneath the patient’s hair. The endoscopic brow lift is most often used, which is the least invasive approach.
Brow Lift Recovery
Swelling and bruising are expected on the forehead and eyes after brow lift surgery, although this will vary between patients. This swelling subsides within the first 1-2 weeks. The forehead may have some decreased sensation that will improve over time. Most patients can resume modest activity in 7-10 days, with a complete recovery in about 3-4 weeks.
Expected Cost
Although it is considered cosmetic in nature, in some cases where vision is affected because of sagging skin, insurance coverage may be a consideration. This is not guaranteed and varies by surgical case.
