Brow Lift

This will be discussed in detail during your initial consultation. If wrinkles, loose skin and sagging eyebrows exist on the forehead, then a brow lift or forehead lift may be sufficient. For drooping jowls and wrinkles along the lower area of the face, then another procedure such as a facelift may be a worthwhile consideration. Sometimes these procedures can be combined for maximum results.

While a brow lift produces results that allow patients to appear more awake and alert, the results are often subtle. As an experienced surgeon, Dr. Demainczuk will work within the confines of a patient’s facial structure and skin tone to create natural results that avoid a wide-eyed or hyper-alert appearance.

BOTOX is a great non-surgical option that can improve the wrinkles and fine lines of the forehead. However, it has limitations and will not lift the forehead and improve sagging and drooping features if they exist. Patients who are contemplating surgery may want to try BOTOX first and see if the results satisfy their aesthetic goals. If BOTOX proves ineffective, then a brow lift will probably help in this area.

A brow lift surgery usually takes between one to tw hours to complete, depending on the specific technique used and the individual case.

There are several brow lift techniques, including endoscopic brow lift (using small incisions and a camera), coronal brow lift (incision from ear to ear across the top of the head), direct brow lift (incision at the eyebrow) and temporal brow lift (incisions near the temples). Dr. Demianczuk does not offer endoscopic or coronal brow lift, due to the excessive scarring caused by coronal lifts, and the minimal change offered by endoscopic lifts.

Most patients can return to work and normal activities within 14 days after a brow lift. However, complete recovery and final results may take several months.

Scarring is typically minimal and well-concealed. In temporal brow lifts the short incisions are hidden within the hairline.

Brow lifts can be performed under local anesthesia in the office in some cases, while sedation or general anesthesia is required for temporal lifts, depending on the patients preference and the surgeons recommendation
