Brow Lift in Atlanta, GA

The brow lift (sometimes known as a browplasty) is a popular procedure that helps create a lifted brow appearance, which offers a refreshed look to the upper portion of the face. A drooping brow often creates an angry or tired appearance and can lead to self-esteem issues. This procedure surgically corrects a sagging brow to give patients a rejuvenated look by eliminating excess skin from the forehead while raising the eyebrows. Board-certified otolaryngologist/facial plastic surgeon Dr. B. Terry Seymour has performed brow lift surgery on both men and women at his practices in Atlanta and Lithonia, GA to create a more youthful appearance. Dermal fillers and BOTOX® are commonly used along with brow lift surgery at ENT Facial Plastics and Sleep Disorder Center to provide stunning results and create a softer and smoother look.

A brow lift can correct certain common cosmetic issues and restore a youthful appearance to the forehead area.

When we grow older, skin elasticity diminishes and causes many aspects of the face to droop. This is particularly true in the upper face region and typically affects both men and women. When looking in a mirror, do you appear angry or tired, see frown wrinkles in between your eyebrows, or are bothered by a sagging brow? A brow lift at ENT Facial Plastics and Sleep Disorder Center can be the ideal cosmetic treatment for your goals.

Before your procedure, anesthesia will be administered. The incision technique used in a brow lift is chosen based on the severity of skin sag, if the forehead is affected, and the position of the hairline. There are many techniques that may be used, including:

• Traditional Incision
  Placed at the top of the head behind the hairline, this incision masks scarring and works well for those with a sagging brow, frown lines, or who are at risk for having a receding hairline.
• Trichophytic Incision
  Placed right against the hairline, this incision allows lift and is great for those who have a low risk for hairline recession.
• Lateral Brow Lift
  This incision is created in the hairline slightly over the temples and is great for treating the outer areas of the brow, visible sagging in the outer brow, and Crow's feet.
• Endoscopic Forehead Lift
  Several tiny incisions are made in the hairline and an endoscope is inserted, which moves down to the eyebrow to release its attachments. Using the endoscope's camera, the brow tissue is repositioned using stitches to lift the brow in its better position.

Brow lift recovery varies based on the techniques used during your brow lift procedure, but you should expect some bruising and swelling in the upper face area. Dr. Seymour recommends sleeping upright for at least three nights following surgery and avoiding strenuous activities and exercise until you have healed. Recovery typically takes about 2 – 3 weeks, but we can provide a more detailed timeline during your consultation. Results can be seen almost immediately, with the full outcomes showing several weeks post-surgery. Your face should appear softer, more youthful, and less tired after a brow lift.

How much does a brow lift cost?
It is more important to focus on finding an experienced surgeon, like Dr. Seymour, who can give you the results you want rather than choosing the cheapest surgeon. Your costs for brow lift surgery will vary based on the technique chosen, anesthesia, facility fees, and more. When your treatment plan is developed in your consultation, cost estimates can be discussed. Dr. Seymour will also explain payment methods we accept and where to find low-interest financing — so your surgery is easier to afford.

Do I need a brow lift or facelift?
Whether you should get a brow lift or a full facelift will depend on your goals and where you have excess skin. You should openly talk about your concerns with Dr. Seymour so he can help you decide what is best for you. Some patients come in thinking they want a full facelift and may find they would be better with a brow lift and vice versa. With his years of experience, Dr. Seymour can confidently help you develop your treatment plan — so you get your best results.

What about nonsurgical treatments?
There are many nonsurgical treatments, including laser skin tightening and injectables (like BOTOX and JUVÉDERM®), that can give short-term improvements. However, a surgical brow lift is better if you want longer-lasting results and significant improvements. In your consultation, Dr. Seymour can go over both your nonsurgical and surgical choices so you can decide which is best for your needs.

What technique should I choose?
Dr. Seymour will explain surgical techniques in your consultation — so you know the advantages. He will then help you choose the best technique for your needs and goals. Some of the factors that might influence your technique choice are your hairline (taking into account both your current hairline and your risk of future recession), the amount of loose skin, and the recovery time available.

Will my results look natural?
If you choose an experienced surgeon like Dr. Seymour, your brow lift results will appear natural. He will create your treatment plan for your needs and goals to help you appear refreshed and younger instead of tight or frozen. During your surgery, Dr. Seymour will focus on removing loose skin. The remaining skin and tissue will be smoothed — so your results don't limit your facial expressions or lift your eyebrows too high.
