What is a Forehead & Brow Lift?

A forehead and brow lift is a surgical procedure designed to elevate sagging brows and smooth out deep forehead wrinkles.

By repositioning the brow and tightening the forehead skin, this procedure creates a refreshed, more youthful appearance by reducing the tired or angry look that comes with drooping brows.

Surgical Approach to Sagging Brows and Forehead

  • Open Brow and Forehead Lifts
  • Endoscopic Brow and Forehead Lifts: An endoscopic brow lift approach is applicable when skin sagging is not extreme, and most of the concern lies with the hyperactive muscles of the forehead and brows. Small, hidden incisions are made in the scalp. The endoscope is inserted through these incisions. The corrugator and procerus muscles are located. These muscles are then partially removed to improve the frown lines.
  • However, when forehead skin needs to be removed, the open approach is more predictable and thus is the preferred approach.

Who Are the Best Candidates For a Forehead & Brow Lift?

The best candidates for a brow lift are healthy individuals in the Dallas area who want to improve tired-looking brows or deep lines on the forehead. These signs and symptoms of aging typically appear in people between the ages of 40 and 60. If wrinkles or sagging skin develop in the brow or forehead area due to stress or muscle activity before your 40s, the procedure can be recommended for you as well.

Candidates for a forehead lift must take a break from certain medications like blood thinners or herbal supplements like omega-3 a week before the procedure.

To prevent complications during and after the procedure, stop smoking for at least 4 to 6 weeks before your appointment. Avoid drinking alcohol for at least 48 hours.

What Are the Benefits of a Forehead & Brow Lift?

A forehead lift is meant to restore a youthful appearance to the forehead. A youthful forehead is smooth, wrinkle-free, with brow arches positioned rightly above each eye.

With aging, these features get disrupted by the sagging of the forehead skin. The dropping of forehead skin leads to brow descent. This sagging compounds the sagging of eyelids and gives the eyes a hooded appearance. Excessive use of the forehead muscles also causes forehead wrinkles.

What’s the First Step?

Your Forehead Lift Journey with Surjit Rai, MD

During the consultation, Dr. Rai will ask about your appearance goals and your complete medical history. Once your eligibility for the procedure is confirmed, he will assess your skin concerns and discuss possible surgical techniques. He will help you visualize the whole process and your potential results to set realistic expectations.

Before your brow lift, you will be given special instructions to help you prepare for the procedure. Inform us of any allergies ahead of time.

How to Prepare for a Brow Lift

Request for 5 to 7 days of time off work in advance. This initial recovery period for a brow lift will help you get enough rest and recover more quickly.

Prepare enough pillows on your bed to elevate your head when sleeping. This position will protect the newly lifted brows and rejuvenated forehead from being touched.

Get a companion to drive you on the day of your brow/forehead lift. It is important to get as much assistance as possible in the first 24 hours after the procedure.

Anesthesia for Brow and Forehead Lift

Surgery can be done under general anesthesia or sedation. We prefer general anesthesia in our practice. A board-certified M.D. anesthesiologist provides anesthesia.

What to Expect on the Day of Forehead & Brow Lift Surgery

Surgery is performed with an incision made just at the frontal hairline (most of the time) or just behind the hairline (sometimes). The forehead skin is elevated at the subcutaneous plane or a deeper (subgaleal) plane down to the base of the nose and eyebrows.

The corrugator and procerus muscles, which are responsible for frowning and the lines above the nose, are partially cut and removed. This results in a smoother forehead appearance. The eyebrows are positioned in a more desirable position, and the forehead skin is draped over the underlying bony surface. Excess skin is removed, and the forehead incision is repaired with fine stitches.

    Dr. Rai is the best in Dallas

    This is my second-time coming to Dr. Rai for my nose and breast and I never leave disappointed. He is so kind and truly an artist at his craft. His staff is so kind and always so helpful. I had multiple consultations with different doctors and let me tell you Dr. Rai is the best in Dallas. Look no further Dr. Rai has the experience and his kindness are like no other.

    I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Dr. Rai and his team.

    From the very first consultation, he listened with compassion, answered all of my questions, and made me feel completely supported in my decision to explant.

    The surgery itself went smoothly, and the results exceeded my expectations. What truly stood out, though, was the phenomenal aftercare. Dr. Rai and his staff checked in consistently, responded quickly whenever I had concerns, and made sure I felt cared for every step of the way.

  • MRKTMade_Rai-40-473

    I’m forever grateful for Dr. Rai and his team.

    They are so thorough, nice, calming, reassuring, supportive…. I could go on and on. I would recommend Dr. Rai over and over! You simply cannot go Wrong with making him your choice. My favorite thing about the whole process was after surgery HE personally calls and emails you until you are released from his care. HE personally talks to you on the phone and shows that he gives a crap about his patient. It’s not just a paycheck to Dr. Rai, he truly cares and actually shows it. You don’t have many drs SHOWING their genuine care outside of your surgery day. He’s there for his patients and I’m grateful for it bc he calmed so much anxiety!!! Plus, his work is WONDERFUL! 100/10 recommend!

    I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Surjit Rai and his staff!

     They were exceptional, from the time I made my appointment to my consultation, my surgery and post op care. The front desk staff made the scheduling easy, the pre and post op nurse was kind and put my nerves at ease. Dr. Rai is a skilled surgeon with a wonderful bedside manner, he explained the surgery and outcome very clearly and provided personal post op support. I am a nurse in the medical field and I would highly recommend him as a surgeon.
