Healy Plastic Surgery & Med Spa
Low or sagging eyebrows may give you a tired or even a perpetually worried look. The forehead and brow area is often the first to show signs of aging, with horizontal lines and drooping brows impacting your overall facial expression.
At Healy Plastic Surgery in Honolulu, Dr. Jeff Healy specializes in brow lift surgery to gently elevate the brows, smooth forehead wrinkles, and create a more open and refreshed appearance. Discover how a precise brow lift can subtly rejuvenate your upper face, restoring a more alert and vibrant gaze.
A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is a precise cosmetic surgery focused on rejuvenating the upper third of the face. This technique gently elevates the eyebrows to a more youthful and harmonious position while smoothing deep lines and wrinkles across the forehead and between the brows.
At Healy Plastic Surgery in Honolulu, Dr. Healy approaches each brow lift to create a natural, refreshed appearance that brightens your gaze and conveys a more rested and approachable expression.
Your brow and forehead lift procedure begins with a detailed consultation to understand your concerns and ideal brow contour. Performed in our state-of-the-art, accredited in-office OR, the method involves precise techniques with various incision options, limited incision browlift, coronal brow lift (in the hairline), or even direct approaches, chosen for optimal results and minimal visibility.
Dr. Healy meticulously lifts and repositions forehead tissues and muscles, removing excess skin as needed to secure the brows in a more youthful position.
A brow lift effectively improves concerns in the upper face, including:
A brow lift addresses the forehead, eyebrows, and extends to positively impact the appearance of the upper eyelids.
Individuals experiencing sagging brows, deep forehead wrinkles, or frown lines who are in good overall health, have realistic expectations for surgical outcomes, and desire a more youthful and rested appearance in their upper face are typically excellent candidates for a brow lift with Dr. Healy.
Recovery after a brow lift involves some initial swelling and bruising across the forehead and around the eyes, along with potential numbness or tingling. Keeping your head elevated, even during sleep, is important.
Most patients can comfortably return to non-strenuous daily activities within 1-2 weeks, with visible bruising typically subsiding by the second week. Dr. Healy and his caring team will provide comprehensive post-operative instructions to minimize swelling and prolonged bruising, fostering a comfortable and effective healing process.
Initial improvements in your brow position and forehead smoothness will be noticeable once swelling decreases in the first few weeks following surgery. The full, refined aesthetic will gradually emerge over several months as tissues settle.
The results of a brow lift are designed to be quite enduring, often lasting for 10-15 years or more. While the natural aging process continues, the effects of the surgery will be long-term, providing a more youthful and refreshed upper face for many years to come.
Selecting a surgeon for a brow lift requires an artist with an intimate understanding of facial expression and the delicate balance of the upper face. Dr. Healy brings over two decades of refined surgical experience, including 23 years of distinguished military service, to sculpt a more harmonious and youthful brow contour.
His precision focuses on natural elevation that avoids a "surprised" look, ensuring your refreshed appearance genuinely reflects your inner vitality. Dr. Healy prioritizes your care, personally overseeing all surgical consultations and follow-ups. Our commitment to your lasting satisfaction is underscored by complimentary lifetime post-operative support, all within the safety and luxury of our AAAASF-certified in-office surgical suite in Honolulu.
Post-operative discomfort is generally mild to moderate and well-managed with prescribed pain medication.
Dr. Healy strategically places incisions to be as discreet as possible, often within the hairline or natural forehead creases, making them largely inconspicuous once healed.
Brow lift surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia for patient comfort, but can also be done under local anesthesia with sedation in some cases.
Yes, a brow lift is frequently combined with other facial procedures, including blepharoplasty (eyelid lift), a neck lift, or a facelift for a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation, achieving a harmonious result across the entire face.
Botox temporarily relaxes muscles to smooth dynamic wrinkles. A brow lift surgically addresses sagging brows and deeper static lines by lifting and reshaping tissues for a more long-lasting correction.
For patients seeking non-surgical forehead rejuvenation, we offer a variety of med spa treatments designed to target specific areas or provide all-over facial rejuvenation. Schedule your consultation to discuss injectable solutions, chemical peel options, and laser skin resurfacing to determine which treatment or treatments can deliver your most satisfying experience.
A brow lift is designed to rejuvenate the brow and forehead region and may provide a subtle lift to the areas around the eyes. However, blepharoplasty offers the most significant eye rejuvenation and is often combined with a brow lift for patients concerned with signs of aging around the eyes or heavy upper lids.
