What Is a Brow Lift?

A brow lift is a surgical procedure designed to elevate and rejuvenate the forehead and brow area, helping to reduce wrinkles, frown lines, and sagging skin that can make you look tired or older. By lifting the brow to a more youthful position, this procedure smooths creases, restores symmetry, and opens the eye area for a refreshed and revitalized appearance. At W Cosmetic Surgery®, Dr. Allan Wulc customizes a brow lift to enhance your unique facial structure, ensuring a natural-looking, refreshed appearance—“You. Naturally.”

Browlift Basics with Dr. Allan Wulc

How Is a Brow Lift Performed?

A brow lift is typically performed as an outpatient procedure with local anesthesia and intravenous sedation or, in some cases, general anesthesia. Dr. Wulc performs endoscopic brow lifts, an advanced method that involves much smaller incisions and a faster recovery. 

An endoscopic brow lift is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a small camera, called an endoscope, to guide the surgery. Dr. Wulc uses the endoscope to view the underlying muscles and tissues through tiny incisions hidden within the hairline.

This advanced approach allows precise adjustments to lift the brow, smooth wrinkles, and restore a youthful appearance without larger incisions that take longer to heal. Endoscopy results in minimal scarring, faster recovery, and natural-looking results.

The tissues and muscles beneath the skin are adjusted to smooth creases and lift the brows. Asymmetries can be corrected, and the brow tissue repositioned to restore a youthful, refreshed look. A brow lift may often be performed with eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) or other facial rejuvenation procedures for a more thorough facial transformation.

How Should I Prepare for My Brow Lift in Philadelphia?

Before your brow lift, Dr. Wulc will conduct a thorough consultation to evaluate your forehead and facial structure. He will discuss your aesthetic concerns and goals for a customized treatment plan. To help plan the best brow position, you may be asked to bring photographs showing your natural brow in your younger years. This helps ensure that your results are subtle and very natural in appearance. You must stop taking medications or supplements with blood-thinning properties, eat a healthy diet, and carefully follow the personalized pre-surgical guidelines to ensure optimal recovery.

What Can I Expect During Recovery?

Recovery from a brow lift at W Cosmetic Surgery® is designed to be as smooth and comfortable as possible, with help from our suite of advanced healing treatments. While mild swelling and bruising are to be expected in the first few days, most patients can return to light activities within a week. We recommend planning 10 to 12 days off to allow time for healing and for any residual swelling to subside.

To accelerate recovery and optimize your results, we offer a comprehensive suite of post-operative care options, including:

  • Nutritional Support: Tailored supplements to aid in healing and reduce inflammation.
  • Light-Based Therapies: Advanced treatments that help reduce bruising, swelling, and discomfort.
  • Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBO): This innovative treatment speeds up tissue repair by increasing oxygen levels in the healing areas, helping you recover faster and with better results.

Our team will guide you through the recovery process, ensuring your healing is comfortable and that your results enhance your confidence in your look for the long term.

Brow Lift FAQs

Is a brow lift a good option if I already use BOTOX for forehead wrinkles?

While BOTOX can temporarily soften wrinkles and elevate the brows, a brow lift provides long-lasting structural improvements that BOTOX alone cannot achieve. Many patients combine these treatments for optimal results.

Does a brow lift address frown lines between the brows?

Yes, during a brow lift, the muscles that cause deep frown lines can be softened or adjusted to smooth the area, creating a more relaxed appearance.

How does a brow lift enhance the results of other facial surgeries?

A brow lift is often paired with eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) or facelift procedures to achieve a comprehensive rejuvenation of the upper and mid-face, creating a balanced and youthful appearance.

Are there any risks associated with brow lift surgery?

As with any surgical procedure, there are potential risks, but complications are rare when an experienced surgeon like Dr. Wulc performs your brow lift. Possible risks include infection, scarring, asymmetry, changes in sensation, or prolonged swelling. Dr. Wulc takes every precaution to minimize these risks and will discuss them in detail during your consultation.

How long will my results last?

The results of a brow lift are long-lasting, often maintaining a youthful, refreshed appearance for 10 years or more. While the aging process will continue naturally, the improvements from your brow lift will always make you look younger than if you hadn’t had the procedure.

Will the procedure be painful?

Most patients report minimal discomfort during and after the procedure. Dr. Wulc uses advanced techniques, including local anesthesia with sedation, to keep you comfortable throughout the surgery. Mild swelling and tightness are normal during recovery, but these are easily managed with prescribed medication and post-operative care.

How long does it take to perform a brow lift?

A brow lift typically takes between one to two hours to complete, depending on the complexity of the case and whether additional procedures are being performed simultaneously. Dr. Wulc’s meticulous approach ensures precise results while prioritizing your safety and comfort throughout the process.

This is a test.
