Mission Viejo Brow Lift Orange County Surgical Specialists

You show your emotions to the world with your face—smiling, laughing, frowning, or even raising an eyebrow. Unfortunately, as you age and your skin loses its elasticity, these expressions can make their mark in the form of wrinkles on your forehead and between your brows. At the same time, gravity can take its toll on the delicate tissues around your eyes. Forehead wrinkles and a sagging brow can make you look older, or even tired or angry. If you are bothered by wrinkles on your forehead or loss of lift in your brow area, a brow lift in Mission Viejo at Orange County Surgical Specialists offers a targeted solution that can take years off your face. Our minimally invasive brow lift delivers amazing smoothing, elevation, and definition with a very short recovery time.

What Is a Brow Lift?

A brow lift elevates the forehead and eyebrows, smoothing out lines and opening up the eyes for a more youthful, alert appearance. Reza Bolourian, M.D., F.A.C.S., specializes in performing brow lifts using a minimally invasive endoscopic approach, accessing the tissues of the upper face via tiny incisions. This means you can achieve a beautifully smoothed and lifted forehead with a shorter recovery time and no visible scarring.

Endoscopic Brow Lift

In most cases, Dr. Bolourian will recommend an endoscopic brow lift. In this technique, tiny incisions created in the scalp allow for the introduction of a high-tech camera-guided scope. Dr. Bolourian lifts the forehead and places a tiny fixation screw using the endoscopic device. This approach has the advantage of a reduced recovery time and no scarring along the hairline.

Coronal Brow Lift

The traditional version of a brow lift is the coronal brow lift (aka, pretrichial brow lift). In this procedure, your surgeon creates an incision at the top of the forehead along the hairline, providing access to the forehead area. Dr. Bolourian generally favors the endoscopic approach, but in certain cases, a coronal brow lift might be the better option. He will assess your individual needs and goals to determine which procedure is best for you.

Temporal Brow Lift

Many people notice rounding or hooding of the corners of the eyes. This means there may be drooping of the most lateral part of the eyebrows. A temporal or lateral brow lift takes advantage of a small incision hidden in the hairline. A specifically designed instrument is then used to elevate the tail of the eyebrows. The temporal brow lift approach is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that will provide a youthful “fox tail” brow appearance.

What Are the Benefits of a Brow Lift?

A brow lift can address multiple issues at once:

  • Sagging or low brows that create a tired or angry appearance
  • Horizontal wrinkles or furrows across your forehead
  • Frown lines between your brows
  • Excess, drooping skin and tissue above the eyes

These problem areas will be lifted and beautifully smoothed, giving your entire face a more youthful appearance. In addition, the minimally invasive endoscopic approach comes with a shorter recovery time, meaning you will soon be able to get back to your routine enjoying your refreshed look.

Your Mission Viejo Brow Lift Procedure

A forehead lift is an outpatient procedure, which Mission Viejo cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Bolourian, performs in our state-of-the-art surgical facility. For your comfort, local anesthesia is administered along with twilight sedation. Depending on the type of brow lift being performed, Dr. Bolourian will create incisions either on the scalp or along the hairline.

In the endoscopic approach, he accesses the tissues of the forehead with a tiny camera-guided scope, which he uses to lift and reposition the muscle tissue and remove any excess skin. He then closes the incisions with sutures. After surgery, we will monitor you in our comfortable recovery area until it is time for you to go home.

Brow Lift Recovery and Aftercare

Make sure to follow your aftercare instructions carefully, which will include sleeping with your head elevated for a couple of days. You will start out with bandages on your forehead, which typically come off in one to two days. Bruising and swelling are normal and should diminish completely after two to three weeks. You may use ice packs to help with swelling.

In early recovery, you may also have a feeling of numbness or tightness in the treatment area. However, pain is typically very minimal. Dr. Bolourian will remove your stitches in one to two weeks. At this point, most residual swelling will have subsided, and you will be able to see your beautiful results.
