Brow Lifting Procedures
A drooping or sagging brow can change the appearance of the entire upper face. As the brow descends with age, it can create a tired or heavy appearance and may contribute to excess skin or hooding around the upper eyelids. Brow lift surgery, also sometimes known as a forehead lift, can raise a drooping brow, creating a more refreshed, balanced, and natural appearance.
At Tower Clock Eye Center, our oculofacial plastic surgery services include evaluation and treatment of conditions affecting the eyelids, brows and surrounding structures. Dr. Jack Komro brings specialized fellowship training in oculofacial plastic surgery to the practice, providing patients throughout Northeast Wisconsin and Michigan’s Upper Peninsula with specialized care close to home.
If you are noticing a low or heavy brow or crowding around the eyes, the first step is determining what is causing the change. A consultation can help determine whether brow lifting, eyelid surgery, or a combination of procedures is the most appropriate option.
Who May Benefit from Brow Lift Surgery?
Brow lifting may be appropriate for adults who are bothered by a low or sagging brow or changes in the upper face associated with aging.
Not everyone with upper-eyelid hooding needs a brow lift. The appropriate treatment depends on your individual anatomy and what is causing the heaviness around the eyes.
Brow Lift and Blepharoplasty
Because the brow and upper eyelids work together to frame the eyes, brow lifting and eyelid surgery are sometimes performed together.
Brow lift surgery addresses the position of the eyebrow.
Upper blepharoplasty addresses excess tissue of the upper eyelid.
When both conditions are present, treating them together may provide a more comprehensive improvement to the upper eye area. Whether combination surgery is appropriate depends on your anatomy, concerns and goals.
What Can I Expect After Brow Lift Surgery?
Recovery varies depending on the surgical approach and whether other procedures are performed at the same time. Swelling and bruising around the forehead and eyes are common during the early recovery period.
