If you’ve begun to notice forehead frown lines or drooping eyebrows, consider a brow lift from Connecticut-area plastic surgeon Dr. Ellen Mahony. Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, she specializes in facial surgery and has the training and skill to give you a naturally enhanced look.
You’ll be surprised at how even subtle changes in your forehead and brow area can produce dramatic results, in the form of a smoother look. Dr. Mahony welcomes patients from Westport and Fairfield County, Connecticut.
What Is a Brow Lift, Exactly?
A brow lift, sometimes called a forehead lift, is a surgical procedure that raises the brows. Dr. Mahony makes a brow lift simple and convenient for you. In a minimally invasive outpatient procedure at her practice, she will smooth the skin across your forehead, then reposition your brows to a more youthful position.
It’s also common to confuse a brow lift with nonsurgical treatments. Neurotoxins relax the muscles that cause forehead lines, but they don’t change the position of the brows.
A brow lift goes a step further by addressing both the appearance of wrinkles and the structure of the upper face. It’s a stronger option when sagging brows are part of your concern.
Benefits of a Brow Lift
Both women and men can see unique improvements from this procedure. The biggest benefits may include:
- A smoother forehead with fewer creases and frown lines
- Lifted brows that create a brighter, more awake appearance
- Restoration of the natural arch in women’s brows
- Correction of heavy or overhanging brows in men while keeping a masculine shape
- A more refreshed look without an artificial or “overdone” effect
What to Expect During Surgery
A brow lift is performed as an outpatient procedure, meaning you can go home the same day. Dr. Mahony begins by making carefully placed incisions, often hidden along the hairline or within the scalp, to minimize visible scarring.
Through these incisions, she lifts and repositions the underlying tissues and smooths the skin across the forehead. The brows are gently elevated, and excess skin may be removed if necessary. The procedure is done under anesthesia for your comfort and typically takes one to two hours, depending on the technique.
Your Brow Lift with Complementary Treatments
A brow lift is just one of the many facial cosmetic procedures available from Dr. Mahony. Others include eyelid surgery and facelifts.
If you prefer less invasive rejuvenation, ask about neurotoxins like BOTOX® Cosmetic and Dysport®, dermal fillers, thread lift, or ALMI, a natural alternative to fillers that uses your own fat.
Dr. Mahony also recommends that you prep your skin for any facial surgery with one of her platelet-rich plasma (PRP) procedures to stimulate collagen production, increase blood flow, and repair elastin fibers in deep layers of your skin.
