Brow Lift

Temple or Brow Lift – A temple lift, sometimes called a brow or forehead lift, corrects sagging of your eyebrows and hooding of your upper eyelids, especially in the outer portion. It also may soften the creases across your forehead. It minimizes vertical frownlines at the top of your nose and between your brows. The result is a more relaxed, refreshed and younger appearance.

A brow lift is mostly performed along with a face lift or facial rejuvenation procedures. Some people have inherited appearances that cause them to have a brow lift as early as their 20s or 30s.

One common technique for performing a brow lift requires an incision across the top of the scalp, beginning above your ears. The incision may be placed toward the middle of the scalp where it is hidden within your hair. Through this incision Dr. Terino can modify or remove parts of the muscles that cause wrinkling and angry frown lines and lift your temple or eyebrows to a more pleasing position.

Some patients are good candidates for a minimal incision brow lift technique which requires only several very small incisions in the scalp. Through the smaller incisions Dr. Terino can see and work on the various internal structures of the forehead. After surgery, you will have temporary puffiness and discoloration that may involve your eyelid and cheek areas as well. You may experience numbness and itchiness of your scalp for several weeks.

A temple lift corrects drooping eyebrows and eyelid tissues and improves forehead creases and frown lines that can make you look worried or angry. The forehead skin is gently pulled upward and outward. Some of the underlying muscles are modified as needed.

After surgery your temple will be elevated, your forehead will be smooth and you will look younger, relaxed, and refreshed.
