A Refreshed, Alert Look With a Brow Lift in Burlington
Brow Lift
A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, elevates drooping eyebrows and smooths forehead wrinkles to create a more refreshed, youthful appearance. It addresses heavy, sagging brows that can make you look tired, angry, or older than you feel, opening up the eye area and softening frown lines.

How It Works
A brow lift lifts and repositions the brow tissue using small incisions hidden within the hairline or through an endoscopic approach. Muscles that cause frown lines may be modified and excess skin is removed, with the technique chosen based on your facial anatomy and the degree of correction needed. The surgery typically takes 1 to 2 hours under general anesthesia or sedation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will my hairline change?
Incisions are typically placed within the hairline to avoid affecting its position. Any temporary hair loss around the incisions usually grows back.
Can I combine a brow lift with other procedures?
Yes, it is commonly combined with eyelid surgery or a facelift for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
"All surgical procedures carry inherent risks, including but not limited to: infection, bleeding, adverse reaction to anesthesia, scarring, asymmetry, changes in sensation, and the possibility of revision surgery.
