Los Angeles Cosmetic Surgery - Forehead, Brow Lift
A furrowed brow can lend a tired or angry countenance to the face. Lifting the brow provides a smoother, more alert look.
Many people seek brow lift surgery to correct the appearance of frown lines, which are deep vertical furrows between the eyebrows that cause us to look worried or stressed out. Another common reason for brow lift surgery is to correct a sagging forehead or brows that hang too low and too close to the eyes.
Browlift is an outpatient procedure that only requires two small incisions disguised in the hairline. These incisions allow Los Angeles plastic surgeon Dr. Aronowitz to reposition the underlying muscle to achieve the desired results. This minimally invasive technique results in less bruising and swelling resulting in a much quicker recovery time.
By surgically lifting the brow or forehead, Los Angeles plastic surgeon Dr. Aronowitz can give a more youthful and rested appearance to your upper face, helping you to look years younger.

The Browlift Procedure
Browlift surgery is done on an outpatient basis in our Los Angeles facility either under general anesthesia or monitored sedation. The incisions are usually made behind the hairline. For patients with high foreheads, the incisions can be placed in front of the hairline. The operation is done using an endoscope (a narrow hollow instrument with a fiber optic light source and camera, through which the procedure is done with small special instruments.) The forehead skin is lifted and repositioned and muscles that cause frown lines are weakened.
Recovery from Browlift
Patients return home with dressings that are usually removed on the first or second day after surgery. Initial discomfort is easily controlled with oral medication. Sutures are removed within 10 days, and most swelling and bruising is gone in 7 to 10 days.
Complimentary Procedures
Additional procedures that may enhance the result of a forehead lift are Lower and/or Upper Eyelid Lift, Facelift, facial fillers, or other facial procedures or implants.
Browlift surgery is considered cosmetic and is therefore not covered by insurance.
The specific risks and the suitability of the forehead lift procedure can be determined only during your consultation with Los Angeles plastic surgeon Dr. Aronowitz. All surgical procedures have some degree of risk, but major complications are unusual.
