Brow Lift / Forehead Lift in New Jersey & Philadelphia
The forehead serves as the frame for your eyes, but over time, gravity can cause this area to descend, creating hooding or deep horizontal creases. At our locations in Princeton, Voorhees, Yardley, and Philadelphia, Dr. David W. Allison provides specialized brow and forehead lift procedures designed to reverse these changes and restore a more youthful arch.
Dr. Allison approaches each surgery with an emphasis on balance to ensure the brow is elevated naturally, avoiding a “surprised” or “pulled” appearance. By customizing the technique to your specific anatomy, he delivers results that open the gaze and harmonize with your features for a refreshed, long-lasting outcome.
What is a Brow Lift?
Time, sun exposure, gravity and facial habits like squinting can leave their marks on our faces, especially on a person’s forehead. Genetics also play a role in how our faces age. When you have deep lines or sagging, heavy eyebrows, this can make you look older, tired and even angry. Some patients also have difficulty with their vision if their eyebrows have sagged enough to obstruct sight.
Luckily, today there are surgical and nonsurgical options to provide a lift to these sagging areas and create a more alert but still natural appearance. Dr. David Allison has 16 years of experience and extensive training to perform these procedures.
What Brow and Foreheads Lifts Can Correct
- Horizontal forehead lines
- Sagging eyebrows
- Vertical frown lines
Sometimes brow and forehead lifts are combined with eyelid surgery to raise drooping eyelids at the same time for a more comprehensive appearance update and improved visual field.
Benefits of a Brow Lift
A brow lift offers both cosmetic and confidence-enhancing benefits for patients concerned with upper-face aging.
Benefits may include:
- A more lifted, refreshed eyebrow position
- Smoother forehead lines and creases
- Reduction of deep frown lines between the brows
- A more open, alert appearance around the eye
- Improved facial balance and expression
Because facial anatomy and aging patterns vary, each brow lift is customized to maintain harmony with the rest of the face.
How Brow and Forehead Lifts Work
Brow and Forehead Lift Recovery
Patients should expect to recover for 2 weeks after brow and forehead lift surgery. It is important to follow Dr. Allison’s post-op instructions completely to reduce your risk of complications such as infection, poor wound healing, pain and more.
BOTOX® Cosmetic can also be used for temporary reduction of the appearance of facial lines and to provide a temporary brow lift.
