Eye Brow Lift

Long-term correction of forehead wrinkles, frown lines and drooping eyebrows is possible with an eye brow lift in Toronto. Also called a forehead lift, this procedure can help tighten sagging skin on your upper face and get rid of creases and lines much longer than BOTOX® Cosmetic injections.

Choosing to Get a Brow Lift: Who's a Good Candidate?

Nearly any patient with descended, sagging brows and static forehead wrinkles can benefit from brow lift surgery. Men and women with deep horizontal creases across the forehead or 11’s (vertical brow furrows), as well as those with heavy brows, are typically the best candidates for a forehead lift.

If your hairline is particularly high, you have inadequate upper eyelid skin or you’re prone to prominent scars, a brow lift may not offer satisfying results. Dr. Kara will help you evaluate all advantages and possible disadvantages of brow lift surgery prior to recommending the procedure. Facelift surgery in Toronto may also be recommended to improve lax skin along the neck and jawline.

Your Brow Lift

Toronto brow lift surgeon Dr. Mahmood Kara may perform brow lift surgery either using a traditional surgical method or an endoscopic surgical method. The traditional method involves a single incision that runs the length of the hairline at the top of the forehead, whereas the endoscopic method requires only a few small incisions along the hairline.

During an endoscopic brow lift, Dr. Kara uses a tiny camera to view the muscular structures under the forehead skin instead of pulling back the skin to view them as is done with the traditional brow lift technique. Both brow lift techniques involve removing excess forehead skin, repositioning underlying tissues and relaxing forehead muscles that cause wrinkles.

Results and Aftercare for a Brow Lift

After your brow lift, some numbness, swelling and bruising may occur. These temporary side effects usually last only a week or two, however numbness may last somewhat longer. After 1-2 weeks, most brow lift patients have returned to work and normal daily activities. Exercise and more strenuous activity may usually be resumed after 3-4 weeks.

Endoscopic brow lift surgery results in a shorter recovery period and less scarring than a traditional brow lift, however most brow lift surgery scars can be hidden with hair and are very discreet.
