Can a Brow Lift Get Rid of Forehead Wrinkles?

Forehead wrinkles can start at a relatively young age and become more noticeable over time as your skin loses collagen. These horizontal lines, usually associated with loose forehead skin, can give your face a tired or even annoyed expression. At the same time, many people also experience sagging brows that give their eyelids a “hooded” appearance. A brow lift can address all these concerns to rejuvenate and smooth your forehead.

Can a Brow Lift Get Rid of Forehead Wrinkles?

Forehead wrinkles are almost inevitable as the skin becomes looser over time. Collagen loss, sun exposure, and facial expressions contribute to these lines. A brow lift is the most effective way to address loose forehead skin, restore your brows to their youthful position, and smooth away wrinkles for a refreshed look. A brow lift also corrects drooping brows, giving your eyes a brighter, more alert appearance.

How is a Brow Lift Performed?

A brow lift takes place under local anesthesia with oral sedation to keep you relaxed and comfortable. Dr. Lanfranchi uses small incisions hidden in the hairline to lift and tighten the skin, focusing on the outer corners of the brows. As a result, your forehead looks refreshed, and your brows are restored to their naturally lifted, expressive position.

What is Recovery Like After a Brow Lift?

You can expect some swelling and soreness after your procedure, and you will receive instructions on aftercare. You will have follow-up appointments with Dr. Lanfranchi to assess your healing progress. People with low-activity jobs can often return in about a week, while physically strenuous jobs may require a bit more time. Swelling from a brow lift can take several weeks to fade entirely. 

Do I Need an Eyelid Lift or a Brow Lift?

While a brow lift can address loose skin that hangs over the eyes, it does not correct drooping eyelids, puffiness, or other signs of aging around the eyes. A blepharoplasty or eyelid lift can address the upper or lower eyelids and is often performed in combination with a brow lift. Both procedures can be combined with other treatments as part of Dr. Lanfranchi’s customizable TLC Premier Lift™.

Am I a Good Candidate for a Brow Lift?

A brow lift is usually recommended for individuals with concerns about forehead wrinkles, loose skin, and sagging brows. You may be a good candidate if you are healthy and have realistic expectations. You should not have this procedure if you are pregnant or have certain medical conditions. Dr. Lanfranchi will determine whether a brow lift is right for you after a full assessment and examination.
