Brow Lift Surgery in Palo Alto, San Jose, and the Bay Area

Many individuals decide to have a brow lift because their “resting face” appears tired, sad, or angry all the time. A brow lift is a surgical procedure that can raise the eyebrows to achieve a refreshed, friendlier, more attractive appearance.

What can a brow lift accomplish?

A brow lift in San Jose restores the natural position of the eyebrows that have begun to sink lower on the face due to aging. The surgery has the ability to:

Lift the eyebrows
Tighten excess forehead skin
Smooth forehead wrinkles/furrowed brow
Lessen the appearance of crow’s feet
Remove excess skin
Elevate and re-position the brow line
Provide arch for the eyebrows
Improve the appearance of sagging upper eyelids

Brow lift techniques

Below are some of the brow lift techniques that Dr. Hessler performs. During your consultation, she will discuss the ideal technique for your specific areas of concern and desired results, as well as what will work best for you based on your hairline and facial structure.

Direct brow lift

Dr. Hessler will make an incision at the top of the eyebrows. From this incision, a small amount of muscle and fat are removed.

Temporal brow lift

Dr. Hessler will make incisions at the temples and create smoother brow lines.

Indirect brow lift

Dr. Hessler will make an incision within the forehead crease, removing excess skin and fat. An indirect brow lift is a great option for patients with a receding hairline, sagging brows, or deep forehead wrinkles.

Endoscopic brow lift

An endoscope (tiny camera) will be implanted via very small incisions along the hairline. The camera allows Dr. Hessler to have perfect precision and does not damage any healthy surrounding tissue. An endoscopic brow lift is the best option for minimal scarring and recovery time.

Recovery

After brow lift surgery in the Bay Area, your forehead will be wrapped to reduce swelling. You will need to wear these dressings for a few days following surgery. Patients can usually return to work in 3 to 5 days, and stitches will be removed in 7 to 10 days. For about two weeks, you may experience bruising, swelling, a headache, temporary numbness in the treated area, and nausea. Results will become apparent around four months.
