Lateral Brow Lift

Happy Results For A Sad-looking Face

Drooping eyebrows can cause your face to look sad. However, a lateral brow lift or browpexy can help improve that.

Procedure Overview: Lateral Brow Lift

1. An incision is made behind the forehead line on both sides using a tunnel under the forehead skin.

2. The outer aspect of the eyebrow is released, pulled upwards and anchored to its new position.

3. The lateral brow lift should take 1-1.5hrs to complete.

Recovery Time: Lateral Brow Lift

Recovery time is about a week and pain is fairly minimal. There will be swelling and bruising of varying degrees, but a cold compress can help reduce the amount.

After the sutures are removed a week after the lateral brow lift, you will notice a dramatic, yet subtle result.

Frequently Asked Lateral Brow Lift Questions

Q: Will I bruise and swell?

Answer: Yes, bruising and swelling will occur in varying degrees. Cool compresses can be used to help control it.

Q: Will I have a “surprised” look after the procedure?

Answer: No, this will not happen. Your results will be dramatic, but subtle at the same time. A minimal amount of skin is removed to give the desired result.
