A brow lift involves surgically lifting
the forehead to restore the eyebrows to their natural position,
opening up the eye area. It can dramatically change the look
without doing eyelid surgery, although in many instances both
should be done for best results. During this procedure, the
frown lines can also be softened by surgically removing the
muscle that causes them. Patients undergoing this procedure
are in the forties and older. Before

Procedure Description
Whereas the old method of brow lift surgery (bicoronal brow
lift) left a large scar across the top of the head,
along with numbness and hair loss, modern brow lift
surgery is done using an endoscope, through tiny incisions
in the hairline, resulting in small, hidden scars. The
endoscopic brow lift results in a natural appearance
with no visible scars.
This procedure takes about one and
a half hours and is done in the surgical center or an office
surgical suite. Local anesthesia and intravenous sedation
or general anesthesia is the preferred anesthetic approach.
Patients take about 10-12 days for recovery.
Additional Information
Dr. Lo feels that no patient should have to undergo a bicoronal
brow lift in this technologically advanced age of cosmetic
surgery. He has seen the post-operative problems associated
with this technique and does not recommend it for his patients.
Concurrent Procedures
This procedure can be performed at the same time as other
cosmetic surgery, such as an eyelid
lift, face
lift, midface
lift, or laser
resurfacing.
