Brow Lift in Irvine, CA

Brow Lift?

What is a Brow Lift?

A brow lift or forehead lift is a cosmetic surgery that enhances facial appearance by correcting drooping brows and horizontal creases. This procedure can significantly improve the eyebrow shape, contributing to a fresher and more alert look.

In Irvine, facial plastic surgeon Dr. Hojjat performs brow lift surgery using either the traditional coronal technique for major brow elevation or the endoscopic method, a minimally invasive option that targets specific areas with less recovery time.

The procedure

The Forehead Reduction Procedure

Brow lift surgery in Irvine is an outpatient procedure. You will be released from surgery the day your procedure is completed. A general anesthetic is typically used for the surgery (though local anesthesia and sedation can also be used), so you won’t feel anything and will be unconscious during the procedure.

Types of Forehead Surgery 

Dr. Hojjat employs various types of brow lifts, tailoring each procedure to the individual’s unique facial structure and aesthetic goals. Depending on the specific technique—coronal or endoscopic method—he will likely make a series of tiny incisions along the hairline. During the procedure, Dr. Hojjat skillfully manipulates the forehead muscles and skin to achieve a smoother, more youthful appearance.

Excess skin and fat are removed from your forehead to elevate the brows, and the area is sutured at or in the hairline, rendering the incisions virtually unnoticeable. After this procedure is complete, you will be taken to the recovery area and later released to go home.

Traditional Brow Lift Technique

The coronal brow lift is a proven method for addressing forehead tissue and deep wrinkles that contribute to an aged appearance. In this technique, an incision is typically made from ear to ear across the top of the head, hidden within the hair. Through this incision, Dr. Hojjat can lift and reposition the forehead skin, reducing the appearance of deep wrinkles and sagging brows. This method provides significant rejuvenation for patients with extensive aging signs.

Endoscopic Brow Lift Technique

The endoscopic procedure represents a minimally invasive technique, ideal for correcting horizontal lines and mild to moderate forehead sagging. This method involves making small incisions within the hairline and using a tiny camera, or endoscope, to view and manipulate the forehead tissues. This technique allows for precise adjustments with minimal scarring, offering an effective solution for those looking to enhance their forehead area without extensive surgery.
