Brow Lift vs. Temple Lift Explained by Dr. Jed Horowitz – YouTube

Read along to the Transcript as Dr. Horowitz explains a Brow Lift vs a Temple Lift

Summary:

  • The brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, addresses areas around the eyes and forehead as a unit.
  • Traditional brow lifts involved a long incision across the top of the head, but this method is now rare.
  • The goals of a brow lift include raising the corner of the brow to counteract sagging and reduce hooding on the upper eyelid.
  • Modern brow lifts focus on raising the outer brow rather than the central brow, which could look abnormal if raised too high.
  • With the prevalence of Botox treatments targeting forehead skin lines, some patients only require a temple lift, a modification involving a small incision in the hairline to raise the outer brow, especially if the central brow is already smooth due to Botox.

Transcript:

(00:03) talk about a brow lift. What is a brow lift? A brow is okay, so a brow lift or left forehead lift is treated for the areas that frequently include the eyelids. This area here has to be looked at as a unit. In the past, there were different types of brow lifts. A traditional brow lift, which is rarely done now, involves an incision all the way across the top of the head, and then the skin is released, and the skin is brought up to elevate the brow. The things are trying to accomplish with a brow lift there again three.

(00:42) things as we age, the side the corner of the brow tends to fall down, makes us look sad, and it also increases the amount of skin that you have hanging down on your upper eyelid, and that’s called hooding okay, so some people come into the office, and they think they need an eyelid lift when in fact it’s the brow position that’s too low so in the brow lift we want to raise the corner of the brow we don’t want to raise the center brow because that’s not a normal position the brow is usually higher on

(01:20) the outside than the inside; if you raise the central brow, it looks abnormal. One major thing that has changed with brow lifts is the amount of Botox that’s used. Again, there were three areas of concern for the brow: one is the outer brow, which needs to be raised. The second area is lines that go across our forehead skin, and the third is the creases in the central brow that make us look angry or the frown lines. So many people have Botox injected in that area now because that’s the number one area that Botox was first.

(01:57) FDA-approved patients come in and don’t have frown lines, so the main area that they need to be treated is the outer brow, which is still hanging in a lower position. Many patients now have a modification called a temple. This area is the temple, and if this area in the center is already smooth because they’ve had Botox, then the only area that we need to treat is the outer brow so that it only involves one small incision in the hairline and then we come under the skin raised that corner of the brow

(02:31) and that’s all they need, so that’s probably the most common brow operation that we do now. Patients who are using Botox per minute of maintenance can now just get by with a lower brow lift to get the maximum results compared to years ago, maybe when they would need the whole full brow right.

What is a Brow Lift?

A brow lift (also sometimes referred to as a forehead or temple lift) is a cosmetic surgery procedure that addresses aging in the upper face, like drooping brows and forehead. These signs of aging in this area can make people look angry or tired. Additionally, a brow lift can help correct a receding hairline.

For many patients, the visible results of a brow lift can save time and money, producing longer-lasting results than injectable treatments in just one visit. Brow lift procedures can be made even more affordable through one of our financing partners, allowing you to achieve the results you desire without having to wait or worry about the expense.

A brow lift is performed alone or combined with another surgical procedure like a facelift or blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) to achieve a more rested, alert appearance. Brow lift procedures help many patients achieve natural-looking and long-lasting results with minimal scarring. At our Newport Beach office, we help our patients turn back time and reduce signs of aging by providing a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance to help boost their confidence. As board-certified plastic surgeons, we strive to deliver the best, personalized care, from your consultation to your final result.

Benefits of Brow Lift Surgery

A brow lift can provide a number of benefits, including:

  • A More Youthful Appearance: By lifting sagging brows and smoothing forehead lines, a brow lift can make one look younger and more refreshed.
  • Restoring Vision: A hooded brow can cause bad vision and blur. Surgery can open up the entire area again, thus rectifying one’s vision while avoiding strains in the eye.
  • Boosts Self-Confidence: You’ll feel great about your look, which can boost self-esteem.
  • Natural-Looking Results: Our brow lifts are designed to be subtle, with minimal appearance of it having happened, to suit your natural facial features and facial lines.

Steps Involved in Our Brow Lift Procedure

The process followed in a brow lift surgery depends on the technique that has been adopted. Nevertheless, a general brow lift procedure involves the following:

  • Consultation: In your first brow lift consultation with your surgeon, you will be asked about your expectations for the surgery and what you want. They will also examine your facial anatomy and advise which technique would be best suited for you.
  • Anesthesia: You will be put under local or general anesthesia to make the process as painless as possible.
  • Incisions: The surgeon will cut along your hairline or through the hairline itself.
  • Tissue Manipulation: Tissues and muscles underneath will be lifted and moved to raise the brow and smoothen the forehead.
  • Closure: In the final step, the incisions will be carefully closed with sutures.

Is a Brow Lift Right for You?

A brow lift is very transformative, but before you decide whether this will be the right thing to do, here are a few considerations:

Ideal Candidates

  • Sagging Brows: When your brows start sagging, you can look tired or angry. A brow lift can help lift them up and give you a fresher, younger look.
  • Deep Lines of the Forehead: The forehead will have deep lines due to the person’s frequent facial expressions. You can smoothen these lines using a brow lift to look more relaxed.
  • Skin Folds at the Upper Eyelid: Loosened skin on the upper eyelid can make it difficult to see clearly or make you look old. A brow lift can eliminate these conditions by lifting up the brow and reducing loose skin folds.
  • Good General Health: The patient should be in good general health before undergoing surgery.
  • Realistic Expectations: The patient should have realistic expectations about the procedure’s potential benefits and limitations.

Consultation With a Plastic Surgeon

To determine whether or not a brow lift is the right choice for you, contact a qualified plastic surgeon in your area to consult and assess your individual needs in order to help you achieve your goals. They will discuss your goals and also explain your procedure in complete detail, allowing them to answer any questions you may have to ensure you make an informed decision.

Recovery Time of Brow Lift Surgery

The recovery time following a brow lift varies for the person and the technique that the surgeon used. Regardless, this is a general idea of what you should expect in the immediate future:

Initial Recovery

  • Swelling and Bruising: These occur frequently and are usually expected to take some weeks before they fully settle.
  • Pain: This is very manageable with medications, although you will most likely have some pain or discomfort.
  • Minimal Exercise: Avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting for weeks.

Return to Work and Social Activities

For most patients, it is usually possible to return to routine within a week or two. Listen to your body and avoid pushing too hard.

Post-Operative Care

Follow your surgeon’s post-operative instructions to the letter. This might include:

  • Maintaining the incision site clean and dry
  • Applying ice packs to minimize swelling
  • Lying back while sleeping
  • Avoiding sun exposure
  • Using medication prescribed to you

All these measures will help you achieve success in your brow lift.

There are many surgical methods to choose from when it comes to eyebrow lift rejuvenation.

Our approach to brow lift surgery and our techniques will depend on your concerns and their severity. At the Pacific Center for Plastic Surgery in Newport Beach, we aim to provide the best brow lift by tailoring our approach to each patient. Your brow lift treatment plan may involve one of the following techniques: 

Traditional Brow Lift

During a traditional surgical brow lift, your plastic surgeon will likely use a beveled incision technique to hide the incision within the hairline. This method will not cause noticeable damage to the hair follicles, as they usually grow into the scar and camouflage your incisions. 

The exact areas where your surgeon will place incisions will depend on where sagging skin is present – either the inner, outer, or entire eyebrow. Once your surgeon carefully makes the appropriate incision, they will remove excess skin and elevate the underlying tissues to lift your eyebrows. This procedure is typically performed under oral sedation and local anesthesia to ensure your comfort. It can also be performed under general anesthesia if you prefer. 

Endoscopic Brow Lift

At the Pacific Center for Plastic Surgery, our board-certified plastic surgeons also offer the advanced endoscopic brow lift technique. During an endoscopic procedure, your surgeon will first make small incisions within your hairline. Next, they will insert an endoscope (a thin tube with a tiny camera) to assess your underlying tissues and muscles. Then, they will use another instrument to lift your eyebrow tissues and suture them into place. Finally, they will close your incisions. 

Temple Lift (Cat Eye or Fox Eye Lift)

For many patients, the corners of their brows are too low, creating “hooding” of the upper eyelid. A temple lift procedure can raise the side of the brow, open the eye, and soften lines between the brow. It is a quick, simple, and popular eyebrow lift procedure that can be performed with a local anesthetic in our office. If you want a more “cat eye” appearance, a temple lift can give you the dramatic results you are looking for. 

For this eyebrow lift procedure, our plastic surgeons use limited scar techniques in the temple areas (usually behind the hairline) to lift the outside corners of your eyebrows. This less invasive method will not affect the middle areas of your eyebrows or forehead.

Following your eyebrow lift surgery, getting plenty of rest is important as you recover. You can expect swelling and redness as you heal. During your first week of recovery, you should sleep with your head elevated to decrease swelling and discomfort. This sleeping position will also speed up the recovery process.

After about one week, you can usually wear makeup to conceal any remaining visible signs of the healing process. Like any cosmetic surgery, it is essential to follow your doctor’s instructions closely to ensure proper incision healing and the best possible results.

In the weeks following your recovery, you will notice the improvement in your appearance and begin to enjoy the final rejuvenating results of your brow lift. A brow lift can take years off your appearance, increase your confidence, and provide a long-lasting, youthful look that still appears natural.  

Although they aren’t permanent, your eyebrow lift results can last about ten years or more. To maintain your results, you should protect your skin from the sun, use proper skin care products, and lead a healthy lifestyle.

A brow or temple lift may be an ideal procedure for patients who have started to experience upper face sagging with age. Gravity, repeated facial expressions, and a loss of collagen in the skin all contribute to sagging skin in the upper face. Both men and women may be good candidates for brow lift surgery if they have the following concerns:

  • Low or sagging brows that cause a tired, exhausted, or angry appearance
  • Hidden eyes caused by excess skin laxity, resulting in brow and upper eyelids sagging
  • Deep creases in the forehead
  • Crow’s feet

Ideal candidates for a brow lift should have realistic expectations for the surgical procedure and plan for some recovery and downtime. If you aren’t ready for surgery, you may choose a non-surgical alternative, like Botox® or laser skin rejuvenation, at BioSpa, our premier MedSpa.

Although a brow lift can effectively address the eyebrows and forehead areas, it will not completely eliminate sagging from the upper eyelids. You can correct sagging eyelids further by adding a blepharoplasty to the procedure.

Our team specializes in creating a truly customized treatment plan for your specific needs by taking the time to understand your facial concerns. We also commit to helping you reach your cosmetic goals by establishing a trusting relationship and guiding you through your eyebrow transformation journey. As a result, you can trust that we will recommend the best available treatment techniques to help you look and feel your best.

The cost of a brow lift procedure will vary depending on factors such as your geographic location and your provider’s experience. At the Pacific Center for Plastic Surgery, an endoscopic brow lift costs $3,600 to $5,400, while a temple lift costs $2,960 to $4,440. This price range does not include all associated expenses, such as anesthesia and facility fees. 

Your cost will depend on which brow lift technique, the extent of work required, and if any additional procedures, such as a blepharoplasty or facelift, are included in your surgical plan. For a more accurate cost estimate, we encourage you to schedule a consultation with one of our expert surgeons.
