What Is a Brow Lift?

Brow lift surgery, or a forehead lift, aims to reposition the eyebrows and address wrinkles on the forehead that create an angry or tired-looking appearance. With well-concealed incisions in the hairline or eyebrows, a brow lift removes excess skin and tissue and tightens the appearance of the forehead. The procedure restores the contours of the brow and reduces wrinkles for a smoother, younger-looking appearance.

Brow lifts rejuvenate your forehead by addressing common signs of aging and creating a refreshed, more alert-looking appearance by:

  • Raising brow position
  • Smoothing forehead creases and wrinkles
  • Diminishing furrows and creases
  • Reducing wrinkles on the bridge of the nose

What Issues Can a Brow Lift Correct?

During your brow lift surgery, Dr. Brys will address different aspects of the brows and forehead to rejuvenate your appearance by correcting functional and aesthetic concerns, including:

  • Recontour brows that have lost their arch
  • Lift drooping or uneven eyebrows
  • Improve horizontal forehead creases, glabellar lines and crow’s feet
  • Addresses creases or furrows on the bridge of the nose
  • Restore sagging brows that hood upper eyelids
  • Improve impaired vision
  • Enhance the overall facial appearance

Minimize swelling and bruising by icing the area, keeping your head elevated, and avoiding bending, lifting, or engaging in strenuous activities during your initial recovery. Following your brow lift, sun protection is crucial. Avoid squinting by wearing dark sunglasses and a wide brimed hat when sun exposure or bright lights are unavoidable.

Plan to take at least one to two weeks off from work. Generally, you can resume sedentary work in one to two weeks. Those with physically demanding jobs may need a longer recovery time or modified duties.

In two to four weeks following surgery, you should be able to resume most normal activities, including light workouts; however, continue avoiding strenuous exercises for four to six weeks. During your follow-up appointments, Dr. Brys will advise you when you may resume all activities.

Hairline Advancement in Parsippany, New Jersey

As we age, our hairline may naturally recede, and a high forehead can make us feel self-conscious.

Hairline advancement, also known as forehead reduction surgery, is an effective solution for lowering the hairline and improving facial proportions. This procedure is particularly beneficial for women who wish to reduce forehead height and achieve a more balanced look.

If you’re a woman considering a brow lift, hairline advancement can be an excellent option to enhance your overall appearance and restore a youthful, balanced look.This procedure can be combined with a brow lift, to lower the hairline and elevate the brow at the same time to restore facial balance. By carefully repositioning the hairline and elevating the brows, Dr. Brys can help create a natural, youthful, and harmonious facial profile. 

How Does Hairline Advancement Work?

Hairline advancement involves carefully making an incision along the natural hairline and repositioning the scalp forward. The excess forehead skin is removed, and the hairline is advanced to its new position. The incision is meticulously closed to minimize scarring, and hair regrowth along the incision line helps to conceal any visible marks over time. The goal is to create a natural-looking result that blends seamlessly with your existing hairline.

Benefits of Hairline Advancement

Many patients choose hairline advancement for its ability to refine their overall facial aesthetic. Some of the key benefits include:

  • Improved Facial Proportions – A high forehead can make other facial features appear unbalanced. By lowering the hairline, the procedure enhances symmetry and creates a more youthful appearance.
  • Natural Results – Brys’s skilled surgical techniques ensure that the hairline maintains a soft, natural contour.
  • Minimal Scarring – Advanced closure techniques minimize visible scarring, and most patients find that hair grows through the incision site, further camouflaging any marks.
  • Enhanced Confidence – Many individuals feel a renewed sense of self-confidence after achieving their desired hairline position.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Hairline Advancement?

This procedure is ideal for individuals who have a naturally high hairline or large forehead and wish to lower it. The best candidates for hairline advancement include:

  • Women with a high forehead who desire a lower, more proportionate hairline.
  • Individuals with good scalp laxity (the ability of the scalp to stretch) to allow for repositioning.
  • Patients with thick hair density, which ensures proper scar coverage post-surgery.
  • Those seeking a permanent solution to forehead reduction without hair transplants.

 

It’s important to have realistic expectations and to consult with an experienced surgeon who can assess your unique facial structure and goals.

Hairline Advancement Recovery and Results

Recovery from hairline advancement is typically smooth, with most patients resuming normal activities within one to two weeks. Some mild swelling and bruising may occur initially but will subside over time. Patients are advised to avoid strenuous activities and excessive sun exposure during the healing period. The full results become visible as the incision heals and hair begins to grow along the new hairline, blending seamlessly with existing hair.

Combining Hairline Advancement with a Brow Lift

For those considering a brow lift, hairline advancement can be performed simultaneously to enhance the overall outcome. A brow lift helps raise and smooth the forehead, reducing wrinkles and sagging, while hairline advancement lowers the forehead, creating a more balanced appearance. Combining these procedures allows for comprehensive facial rejuvenation and can significantly enhance a patient’s overall look.
