Brow Lift Surgery Minneapolis, MN
Your eyebrows are the main point of expression during our lifetime. No matter what language you speak or sign, the eyebrows indicate whether something is a question, if you’re angry, confused or surprised. With these elaborate facial expressions comes the wrinkles and sagging of the brow. At Riverview, we recommend the brow lift procedure for those of you experiencing the sagging of brows that cause you to look agitated or tired all the time.
Every one of our procedures comes with a consultation with Dr. Schneider to cover any and all questions you may have. We take a full account of all your concerns and help guide you through options for the best results possible. Contact us at Riverview Facial Plastic Surgery and set up your consultation today.
What is a Brow Lift?
A brow lift, or forehead lift, is designed to smooth away signs of aging from the upper face, giving you a refreshed appearance. The procedure addresses skin sagging, as well as facial creases, that commonly appear on the forehead and between the eyebrows. A brow lift is customized to the specific needs of each patient, from those with extensive signs of aging needing a full brow lift, to those with early aging symptoms. All upper facial concerns can be effectively addressed with a less invasive endoscopic procedure.
Why Consider a Brow Lift?
Dr. Schneider performs brow lifts to address the following concerns:
​
Sagging skin that gives you a perpetually worn or tired appearance
Sagging brow line due to sagging lids and small deposits of fat
​
A brow lift is frequently combined with eyelid surgery to provide a more refreshed appearance to the entire upper portion of the face. A brow lift can dramatically improve the look of your face overall. No longer will you look tired, angry or unapproachable. Dr. Schneider may recommend a brow lift be paired with eyelid surgery or with a facelift to compliment and complete the dramatic anti-aging results.
How does a brow lift procedure work?
A brow lift may be performed using local or intravenous sedation, depending on the specific techniques utilized during the procedure. Endoscopic brow lifts are usually recommended for patients with mild signs of aging and involve very small incisions and special tools to elevate skin and correct the underlying facial muscles and tissue. Full brow lifts require larger incisions along the hairline, which can then be used to remove larger amounts of skin and lift the entire brow area for a smoother look.
What is recovery like?
What can I expect from my brow lift results?
Because bruising and swelling are typically minimal after a brow lift, patients will begin to see positive results from their procedure within a few days. The forehead area will appear smoother and the brow line may be naturally raised, giving you a refreshed, well-rested appearance. These results are long-lasting.
