Meet Dr Tamburrino Request a ConsultationHow Is a Brow Lift Performed?
Brow lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia or IV sedation. Joseph Tamburrino, M.D. chooses the incision technique based on the severity of sagging, whether the forehead will be addressed, and the appearance of your hairline.
Techniques Joseph Tamburrino, M.D. may use during your procedure include:
- Traditional Incision: This approach places an incision behind the hairline, offering controlled lifting and concealed scarring.
- Trichophytic Incision: Positioned along the hairline, this method is ideal for patients without a high risk of hairline recession.
- Lateral Brow Lift: Also called a temporal brow lift, this technique targets sagging at the outer brows and helps smooth crow’s feet.
- Endoscopic Brow Lift: A cutting-edge method using small incisions and an endoscope to reposition tissues with minimal invasiveness.
Joseph Tamburrino, M.D. will recommend the best technique for your needs during your consultation.
Recovery and Results
Recovery from a brow lift varies depending on the technique used. Most patients experience:
- Swelling and bruising that subsides within 1 to 2 weeks
- A recovery period of about 2 to 3 weeks before resuming normal activities
- Long-lasting results that reveal a rejuvenated and refreshed appearance
The most swelling and discomfort generally occur with the traditional or trichophytic methods versus the lateral or endoscopic techniques.
Tips for a Smooth Recovery
- Use cold compresses to reduce swelling
- Sleep upright for several nights after surgery
- Follow all postoperative care instructions
Joseph Tamburrino, M.D. often advises patients to sleep upright for 3 to 4 nights following surgery. It is critical to avoid any movement or activities that may put pressure on the face.
Brow Lift FAQ
Do I need a brow lift, blepharoplasty, or a facelift?
Whether you should get a brow lift, blepharoplasty, or a full facelift will depend on your goals and what concerns you want to treat. You should candidly talk about your concerns with Joseph Tamburrino, M.D. so he can help you choose which treatment is best for your goals. Many patients combine all three of these popular procedures for a comprehensive result. Relying on his years of experience, Joseph Tamburrino, M.D. will confidently help you formulate a treatment plan to achieve the desired results.
What about nonsurgical treatments?
If you’re nervous about surgery, you may be considering a nonsurgical option, such as laser skin tightening or injectables such as BOTOX® Cosmetic and JUVÉDERM®. However, brow lift surgery creates longer-lasting results and significant cosmetic enhancements. During your consultation, Joseph Tamburrino, M.D. will discuss your surgical and nonsurgical options to help you decide which better meets your needs.
Which technique should I choose?
Joseph Tamburrino, M.D. will help you select the best technique for your needs and goals. Factors that may influence the incision type used are your hairline (considering your current hairline and your risk of developing a receding hairline), the amount of loose skin present, and how much time you can devote to recovery.
Will my results look natural?
When you choose a skilled, board-certified plastic surgeon, you can expect natural-looking, seamless results. Joseph Tamburrino, M.D. will create a treatment plan to suit your needs and goals and help you appear refreshed rather than frozen or tight. When performing your brow lift, he will focus on removing loose skin and smoothing the remaining skin and tissue so your results don’t lift your eyebrows too high or limit your facial expressions.
