Brow Lift
Conveniently located to serve Newport Beach
A brow lift, also commonly referred to as a forehead lift, is one way to say goodbye to a tired, grumpy forehead look and hello to a more alert and youthful appearance. At Kessler Plastic Surgery in Newport Beach, CA, brow lift surgery is performed by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Robert Kessler.
What Is a Brow Lift?
The goal of a forehead lift is to soften creases caused by expression, such as frown lines, and to raise sagging skin and muscle of the brow back to a more aesthetically pleasing position. This can also improve hooding of the upper eyelid, making it easier to see. In many cases, a forehead lift is performed in conjunction with other procedures such as eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) or a facelift.
Good Candidates For a Brow Lift in Orange County
The brow lift is an excellent cosmetic procedure for men and women who want to raise the skin in the brow region to a more youthful position. Patients considering the procedure should be in good physical health and have realistic expectations. During your initial consultation, Dr. Kessler will examine your brow and review your medical history to determine if you are a suitable candidate for treatment.
The Forehead Lift Procedure
Your brow lift will be performed in Dr. Kessler’s surgery center in Newport Beach after the administration of either intravenous sedation or general anesthesia. The procedure typically lasts between two and three hours.
Dr. Kessler often uses the endoscopic technique, which is less invasive than the traditional coronal method. With both strategies, the skin and muscles above the eyes are elevated, and the brow is advanced to a more youthful position.
During endoscopic brow lift surgery, small incisions are made within the hairline, through which instruments are used to reposition the brow. Three to five short incisions are typically made in the scalp and at the temples. The endoscope is placed through one, while the others are used to access and manipulate the brow.
In a traditional coronal brow lift, an incision is made within the hairline, from one ear to the other. This method provides greater access to specific areas of the brow that require correction and is reserved for individuals with more severe brow ptosis (drooping). Recovery time may be longer with a coronal lift than with the endoscopic technique due to the more invasive nature of the procedure.
Your Brow Lift will be performed in Dr. Robert Kessler's surgery center located in Corona Del Mar.
If the forehead is long, meaning a more obvious distance from the eyebrow to the hairline, a hairline lowering procedure might be done instead. Here, the incision is placed immediately at the hairline to remove the excess skin between the hairline and the brow.
Recovery From a Brow Lift
During your forehead lift recovery, a drainage tube may be placed to withdraw excess fluid. It is usually removed after one or two days. Bruising and swelling are expected, but they will generally subside by the seventh to tenth day. Cold compresses can help control the swelling. Any sutures used will be removed about one week post-op.

FAQs
-
01 Will a brow lift change my natural facial expressions?
A brow lift shouldn’t change your natural expressions when performed by a skilled surgeon like Dr. Kessler; he always aims to enhance, not alter, your appearance. The goal is to lift and smooth the brow while preserving your ability to show emotion naturally.
-
02 Will there be visible scarring?
Scarring from a brow lift is usually minimal and well-hidden within the hairline or natural contours of the face. With proper healing and care, most scars fade significantly over time and become barely noticeable.
-
03 How long do brow lift results last?
Brow lift results typically last 10 to 15 years, depending on factors like skin quality, age, lifestyle, and surgical technique. While the procedure can’t stop aging, it can significantly turn back the clock.
