Deep, dynamic creases along the forehead and between the brows can make you look older, angrier, or more tired than you actually are. At Eisemann Plastic Surgery Center, our brow lifts are designed to restore a relaxed, refreshed look that reflects your true vitality.

What Is a Brow Lift?

A brow lift is a surgical procedure that addresses sagging brows and forehead creases by removing excess skin and tightening the remaining tissue. This helps smooth deeper wrinkles and lines, creating a softer appearance to the brow. By tightening and elevating the forehead, we can restore a more youthful look and combat early signs of aging in the upper face.

Lift and Refresh Your Look

Brow lifts can turn back the clock on your facial features, helping showcase your energy and expression. While every patient’s motivation for seeking plastic surgery is different, many come to us for the following brow lift benefits:

Smooth frown lines and forehead creases
Raise sagging brows and heavy eyelids
Restores a more youthful brow appearance
Alleviates tension in the forehead muscles
A brighter, happier, and more alert expression

Are You a Good Candidate for a Brow Lift?

Ideal candidates for a brow lift in Houston are healthy, non-smoking adults who wish to address any of the following conditions:

Deep frown lines and furrows between the brows
Heavy or hooded upper eyelids
Drooping, sagging brows
Horizontal lines on the forehead
An angry, tired appearance, even when fully awake and alert

Your Confidential Consultation

Every patient’s journey begins with a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Eisemann at our Houston practice. There, you’ll discuss your aesthetic goals, concerns, and medical history, and he’ll assess your brow structure, skin quality, and wrinkles to determine if a brow lift is right for you. Depending on his findings, he may also recommend upper eyelid surgery, known as an upper blepharoplasty, to fully address your concerns.

What to Expect From Your Brow Lift in Houston

During surgery, Dr. Eisemann will make incisions around the forehead, typically along the hairline or around the eyelid area, to access the forehead tissue. Then, the skin will be carefully lifted to release and elevate the brow tissue, repositioning it to create a more open, youthful expression. Excess skin will be removed, and all incisions will be closed with small sutures to promote consistent healing.

Your procedure will be performed at our QUAD A-accredited surgical center in Houston. Most patients receive our signature IV sedation with nerve block to prevent pain during their procedure, but you may opt for a local anesthetic with sedation instead. You and a trusted family member, friend, or partner will rest in a private recovery suite until you’re ready to head home.

Gentle, Patient-Centered Recovery

Recovery after a brow lift in Houston typically involves swelling, bruising, and tenderness around the forehead and brow for up to two weeks. You may also experience some itching along the hairline as your incisions scab over and heal. You’ll need to keep your head elevated for a few days to help minimize swelling, and we may provide you with specialized bandages to prevent irritation.

Most patients return to light activity, including desk work and gentle movement, within a few days. You’ll need to avoid strenuous exercise for at least three weeks.

A Personalized Post-Op Process

After your procedure, our team will share a customized recovery plan tailored to your body’s needs. This plan may include the following:

Incision site care and cleaning protocols
Recovery hairstyle options
Hygiene and skin care recommendations
Sun protection and exposure requirements
Sleep position restrictions
Activity limitations
Swelling and pain management strategies
Side effects to monitor

Over the coming weeks, you’ll return to our Houston office for regular follow-up appointments with Dr. Eisemann. There, he’ll remove any remaining sutures, check your healing progress, and clear you to resume high-impact activity, such as contact sports, swimming, and running.

Types of Brow Lifts

At Eisemann, we offer several different brow lift techniques to ensure we take the most appropriate surgical approach for your unique case. Your brow lift in Houston may use any of the following techniques:

Temporal Brow Lift

This method uses incisions along the hairline to access and lift the forehead tissue.

Transpalpebral Brow Lift

Here, incisions are made through the upper eyelid, allowing Dr. Eisemann to surgically treat tension in the central or lower forehead muscles during your procedure.

Temporal/Transpalpebral Bi-Planar Brow Lift

This advanced approach combines the two incision techniques to minimize loss of sensation in the brow and scalp.

Endoscopic Brow Lift

In this technique, Dr. Eisemann makes a series of small incisions along the hairline, then inserts a small camera into each to assist in adjusting the underlying tissue.

Coronal Brow Lift

This method involves a longer incision made in the hairline, which allows Dr. Eisemann to move the hairline forward and create a smaller forehead, if desired.

Completing Your Transformation

Because a brow lift targets the upper face, many patients combine it with other treatments to bring their facial rejuvenation down past the chin. Complementary procedures include the following:

Upper and/or lower blepharoplasty
Rhinoplasty
Facelift
Lip lift
Neck lift
Dermal fillers

Brow Lift Frequently Asked Questions

Will I have visible scars after my brow lift?

Dr. Eisemann strategically places incisions behind the hairline and in the natural creases of the eyelid to minimize visible scarring after recovery. All incisions will be camouflaged and discreet. If you’re concerned about scarring, our team can share scar care recommendations as part of your recovery plan.

When will I see my final results?

The final results of your brow lift will emerge as residual swelling fades, which may take several weeks. You’ll notice initial results within a few days, revealing a more rested expression.

Will a brow lift make me look surprised or frozen?

No. Dr. Eisemann works carefully to preserve the full range of motion in your forehead muscles, keeping your natural character and expression intact. He’ll design your surgical plan to avoid an overdone, exaggerated, or frozen look.

How soon can I return to work?

Patients with more sedentary careers are typically able to return to work within four days. If your career involves straining, heavy lifting, or intense physical activity, you may need to wait two to three weeks to get back to work.
