Deep furrows on the forehead, frown lines over the eyes, drooping eyebrows and hood-like skin over the eyes are all conditions that will prematurely age you and tend to make both men and women look tired and easily angered.  Whether age or heredity causes these conditions, a forehead lift (or brow lift) can give you a more youthful, animated and alert appearance.

Cosmetic surgeon Dr. Mark Berkowitz performs all surgical forehead and brow lifts in an operating room to ensure your safety.  Additionally, a board certified anesthesiologist will remain in the OR throughout the duration of the procedure to administer medication through an IV (which ensures your comfort) and to monitor your vitals. 

Dr. Berkowitz offers several techniques for repositioning a heavy brow or fallen forehead - depending on your individual goals for facial enhancement.  Some patients may wish to only reposition the brow, while others may wish to make more dramatic changes to the upper face due to excessive hooding or deep creases across the forehead. 

Some surgical options include:

• Direct Brow Lift
  This procedure is most commonly performed at the same time upper lid eyelid surgery occurs - and in fact uses the same thin incision along the natural crease of the eyelid to reposition a fallen brow.  The brow is raised and tacked in place with a surgical implant that dissolves within just a few months.  As healing occurs, the scar becomes so faint it is often not visible.

• Temporal and Suture Brow Lifts
  Heavy hooding at the outer corners of the eyes are dramatically reduced using this procedure to reposition the fallen brow causing the hooding.  A small incision is hidden in the hairline, leaving no visible sign of surgical enhancement.  Instead of using surgical implants to tack the brow in its new position, Suture Lifts are as they sound… using thick suturing material to raise the brow - or forehead.

• Endoscopic Forehead Lift
  This special technique uses tiny incisions that are hidden in the hairline.  Compared to traditional procedures, which require lengthy incisions, recovery time is reduced and scarring is minimal. 

Most patients are on their feet in a couple of days, and back to work within just a week or two.  The forehead or brow lift may be performed alone, or along with other procedures such as face- or eye- lifts.  If performed with other procedures, recovery times may increase by a few days. 

Regardless, all brow and forehead lift patients are asked to avoid strenuous exertion, which increases blood pressure, for about a month.  Additionally, prolonged exposure to heat or the sun should be avoided.
