What is a brow lift?

Drooping or sagging eyebrows can spoil the beauty of your eyes and bring an aged look to your face. With a New York City Brow Lift, Dr. Edmund Kwan can help you bring back the impact of those beautiful eyes, irrespective of your ethnicity or age.

Dr. Kwan's New York City brow lift procedure focuses on correcting drooping brows. In the process, Dr. Kwan will also improve and fix any creases and lines which have crept into the forehead. Patients are often unsure of whether they need eyelid surgery or brow lift surgery. Therefore Dr. Kwan places special emphasis on hearing the patient's expectations and goals before recommending the needed procedure.

A brow lift can address a wide range of concerns, including:

The development of horizontal wrinkles across the patient’s forehead
Reduce frown lines that develop in between the eyebrows
Raise brows that may be sagging or hooding the patient’s upper eyelids
Raise brows to give an alert, youthful appearance

How is a brow lift completed?

Prior to the procedure being performed at the surgical center, the patient will receive sedation and anesthetic, so they are comfortable during the surgery. This may be done with either general anesthetics or intravenous sedation. The brow lift may be performed in different ways, depending on the needs of the patient. Some surgeons use an endoscope and specialized instruments to adjust the tissue and muscle underneath the skin with less scarring. This is best performed for patients who are undergoing treatment to reduce the appearance of furrows, creases, and folds in the forehead area. A coronal incision may be completed, where a cut is made from ear to ear along the skin underneath the hair, which allows scarring to be well-concealed by the natural hairline. This is best for patients who need extensive lifting of the forehead and brow area that may not be effectively achieved with smaller incisions. Once the procedure is completed, the incisions may be closed using clips, skin adhesives, or sutures that are removed or absorbed.

What are the possible side effects and complications of a brow lift?

After the procedure, most patients will need to take some time off work, school, or social activities to allow themselves to heal properly. There may be bruising, swelling, and discomfort in the area where the incision has been made. Patients are given prescription pain medications to use as needed and will also leave the practice with post-operative instructions to reduce the risk of infection at the incision site. When patients decide to have surgical treatments performed on their face or body, there is always the chance of side effects or complications. This may include infection, numbness, scarring, facial asymmetry, loss of hair along the incision line, or facial nerve injury. During the consultation appointment with Dr. Edmund Kwan, patients are encouraged to ask questions about the risks and complications that may occur after treatment, so they are knowledgeable about what to expect.

Who is a candidate for a brow lift procedure?

In his eighteen years of experience, Dr. Kwan has seen many patients who request eyelid surgery but are likely to benefit more from a New York City Brow Lift procedure. Sagging eyebrows tend to crowd the area around the upper eyelid, causing patients to think that they need eyelid surgery. As a part of the brow lift procedure, Dr. Kwan nimbly removes the excess tissue and then re-drapes it to form a forehead that has a smooth and flawless finish. Dr. Kwan also pays special attention to minimizing frown lines and lifting the upper eyelids.

What is a brow lift procedure?
This is a procedure done to lift the brow. Many surgeons and patients don't recognize this problem and they feel that the brow is not sagging.

What causes the brow to sag?
As we age as with everything in the face everything falls. This is a combination of skin sagging, gravitational pull and muscle-loosening. What happens in the brow area is that when the brow falls patients cannot see well because the extra skin is crowding their upper eyelid.

In order to compensate this, patients naturally sort of raising their eyebrows and keep it in that position. They don’t even know that they are doing this, but they so that they can see better.

What does the brow lift do?
The brow lift is done to rejuvenate that area and put the brow back in a position it was when the patient was younger. It can be done in different procedures. I like to do what is called a coronal brow lift which is done within the scalp, so the scars are all hidden in the scalp.

Are there other procedures for this?
- Endoscopic brow lift - the problem with this is that it won’t last that long and it gives the patients an artificial look - Another is the brow lift can be done with an incision right around the eyebrow itself, this lifts very little and you see the visible scar.

How is the coronal brow lift procedure done?
I have been doing this for over 25 years, it is done through an incision in the scalp, and the surgery is done by going all the way down to the brow area, I remove the frown muscle, and I also loosen the tissues around to lift it and excess scalp a small amount is removed and tightened inside the hair.

Patients usually recover within a week . It’s a very quick recovery some swell up a little more than others there is some bruising involved, however, patients can get back to work within a week. And they can look really good in two weeks
