Brow Lift in Dallas, TX

As a normal part of aging, wrinkles appear on the forehead and the eyebrows descend. As a result, you may look tired or stern even in a good mood. These signs of aging can affect more than just your appearance—they can impact your confidence, making you feel older or less vibrant than you are. Fortunately, a brow lift is a cosmetic surgery to help revitalize your appearance. Dr. Rachel Walker, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Dallas known for her meticulous attention to detail and natural-looking results, offers forehead lifts to help restore a smoother, more youthful look.

What Happens During Brow Lift Surgery?

During a brow lift the forehead skin is freed up to allow it to be lifted vertically and the muscle which causes scowling is partially thinned out to soften the frown lines. Brow lift corrects the upper eyelid skin excess, brow wrinkles and the eyebrow position. Usually the result is a much happier expression in addition to a more rested appearance. The tissues can be freed up in such a manner as to allow a significant amount of elevation of the cheeks too, and for the late thirty to early forty-something patient this can mean a significantly younger appearance with virtually undetectable incisions.

Types of Brow Lift Surgery

Brow lifts can be performed via multiple different methods: via a hairline incision which does not elevate the hairline; the coronal approach which allows the incisions to be completely hidden in your hair; via Botox injections or via Laser treatment known as a Laser Brow Lift. Individual variations in anatomy, as well as goals, help guide the decision regarding which approach is best.

Traditional Brow Lift

A traditional brow lift utilizes an incision that goes across the scalp and is hidden in the hairline. The skin and underlying tissues are gently lifted, and excess skin is removed. Traditional brow lifts can significantly improve the appearance of your brows, improved positioning, and eliminate forehead wrinkles. However, traditional brow lifts aren’t without risks. Some of the most common risks include scarring, numbness at the incision line, and hair loss.

Endoscopic Brow Lift

An endoscopic brow lift is a minimally invasive surgical procedure. Using a tiny incision, a small camera ( an endoscope) is then inserted through the incision to visualize underlying structures. The benefits of having an endoscopic brow lift include shorter recovery times, less postoperative pain, and a reduced chance of infection and scarring.

Temporal Brow Lift

A temporal brow lift is different than a traditional or endoscopic lift. Temporal brow lifts are a good choice for patients with only minimal to moderate brow descent. Benefits of a temporal brow lift include shorter recovery times, less pain, and a lower chance of scarring or infection.

Candidates for a Brow Lift

A brow lift, or forehead lift, is ideal for those experiencing noticeable signs of aging in the upper face. You may be a good candidate for this procedure if:

  • You have drooping or low-positioned eyebrows: A brow lift can elevate the brow line, opening the eye area and creating a more youthful, alert expression.
  • You experience deep creases across the forehead: Horizontal lines or furrows can be smoothed to restore a more relaxed, rejuvenated appearance.
  • You have persistent frown lines between the brows: If deep vertical lines (often called “11s”) give you an angry or tired look, a brow lift can help soften them.

  • You want long-lasting results compared to non-surgical treatments: While injectables offer temporary solutions, a brow lift provides more enduring results.
  • You are in good general health: Ideal candidates should have no medical conditions that could impair healing and should be non-smokers or willing to quit before surgery.
