Brow Lift Surgery on Cape Cod
Brow lift surgeries help patients address issues with drooping eyebrows and forehead wrinkles. This procedure is commonly done for patients who are looking for more of a dramatic result than what they may be able to achieve with Botox/Neurotoxins, dermal fillers, or other non-surgical treatments. This treatment is also often paired with other facial rejuvenation treatments like blepharoplasty (eyelid lift), or with a facelift. Here at Cape & Islands Plastic Surgery, our board-certified plastic surgeons have helped countless men and women achieve their personal aesthetic goals by helping create tailored treatment plans that are aligned with their expectations and our decades of experience.

How Does A Brow Lift Work?
There are a few different ways that a surgical provider can perform a brow lift. Like other lifts, the treatment is done in a hospital setting with general anesthesia. Typically, small incisions are hidden behind the hairline. Your surgeons will make incisions based on the type of results you are looking to achieve. For example, temporal (lateral) incisions are a less invasive option that is done for patients who need a lift around the outer portion of the brows, while coronal brow lifts involve a longer incision behind the ears, which allows surgeons to provide more dramatic results.
Post-Care & Downtime after Brow Lift Surgery
We always recommend that patients follow the postcare instructions given by their surgical team, and make the necessary follow-up appointments as directed. That said, the following includes some general information about post-care and recovery timelines that are typical for patients who have received a brow lift.
It is common for patients to experience mild to moderate bruising and swelling around the eyes and forehead. These symptoms tend to last 1-3 days. Typically, patients are able to return to work 2-3 weeks after their surgery. Over the next few months, your results will become more defined as the incision lines continue to fade. Final results for brow lift surgeries are typically seen six months after the surgery.
Combining Brow Lift Treatments with Other Facial Rejuvenation Surgeries
As we mentioned above, brow lift treatments are often done alongside other surgical treatments to help patients address multiple concerns at once. This includes traditional facelifts, as well as eyelid surgeries (blepharoplasty). Here at Cape & Islands Plastic Surgery, everything begins with a simple consultation. During that consultation, our team will go over your options including surgical and non-surgical treatments as well as tailored treatment plans.
