What is a Brow Lift?

A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is a cosmetic procedure designed to raise the brows and improve the appearance of the forehead, the brow, and the area around the eyes, reducing droopiness, wrinkles, and lines. Dr. Kelly Bolden, FACS, a renowned board-certified plastic surgeon at Cultura Dermatology and Plastic Surgery in Washington, DC, specializes in this procedure and uses advanced techniques to give patients a more youthful and refreshed appearance.

The Benefits of Brow Lift Surgery

Reduces Forehead Wrinkles

Smooths wrinkles and reduces signs of aging in the forehead.
Elevates Drooping Eyebrows

Raises the brows to a more youthful position.
Improves Frown Lines

Minimizes deep vertical creases between the brows.
Enhances Eye Appearance

Opens up the eye area, making the eyes appear brighter and more alert.

Good Candidates for Brow Lift

Ideal candidates for a brow lift are individuals experiencing sagging brows, deep forehead wrinkles, or hooding over the eyes, often due to aging. Candidates should be in good health, non-smokers, and have realistic expectations about surgical results.

Results of Brow Lift

The results of a brow lift are immediately visible, with final results becoming more apparent as swelling and bruising diminish. With the right aftercare, these results are long-lasting, offering patients a more youthful and rested appearance for years to come.

Risks of Brow Lift

Like all surgeries, a brow lift carries potential risks, including scarring, changes in sensation, and asymmetry. Dr. Bolden discusses all possible complications during the consultation, helping patients feel confident in their choice to undergo surgery.

Types of Brow Lift

Open Brow Lift: Involves a long incision across the forehead along or behind the hairline to lift the brow and remove excess skin.
Endoscopic Brow Lift: Utilizes several small incisions along the scalp with a camera to reposition the skin with minimal scarring.

Cost of a Brow Lift

The cost of a brow lift at Cultura Plastic Surgery varies depending on the specific technique used and the extent of surgery required. Dr. Bolden will discuss pricing and financing options during a consultation.

Preparing for a brow lift includes a detailed consultation with Dr. Bolden, during which medical history is reviewed and a physical examination is performed. In the weeks leading up to the surgery, patients may be advised to stop taking certain medications and to avoid smoking. Bloodwork may be required to ensure a safe and low-risk procedure.

The brow lift procedure typically takes one to two hours and is performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. Dr. Bolden will choose the appropriate technique based on the patient’s anatomy and desired outcomes.

Recovery from a brow lift involves swelling and bruising, which subsides within a few weeks. Patients can generally return to work and normal activities within one to two weeks. Dr. Bolden will provide specific aftercare instructions to ensure a successful healing process.

What to Expect From a Brow Lift Consultation

During the consultation, Dr. Bolden will evaluate facial structure, discuss aesthetic goals, and explain the procedure in detail. This session is designed to answer any questions, ensuring patients are fully prepared and confident in their decision to proceed.
