BROW LIFT in miami, florida
Brighten Your Expression with a Brow Lift
Experience a transformative and uplifting change with a brow lift at Salas Plastic Surgery. This highly effective surgical procedure, also known as a forehead lift, is specifically designed to elevate sagging eyebrows, reduce the appearance of forehead wrinkles, and improve frown lines. The outcome is a dramatically enhanced overall appearance of the upper face, providing a more alert, refreshed, and youthful expression that radiates confidence. At Salas Plastic Surgery, we prioritize a personalized approach, tailoring each brow lift to our patients' unique contours and aesthetic goals.
What Is a Brow Lift?
A brow lift, or forehead lift, is a surgical procedure to rejuvenate the upper face by addressing signs of aging, such as sagging eyebrows, forehead creases, and frown lines. Lifting the skin and underlying tissues of the forehead and brow area smooth out deep lines, elevates drooping eyebrows, and corrects asymmetry. It is particularly beneficial for individuals who have noticed their brows giving them a tired, sad, or angry appearance. This helps restore a more rested and harmonious look that enhances natural beauty.
Which Brow Lift Technique Is Right for Me?
The Endoscopic Brow Lift
With this technique, the plastic surgeon will insert an endoscope with a tiny camera and light on the tip through a minor incision in the scalp right above the hairline. The light and camera allow the surgeon to see your forehead’s internal structures and muscles.
He will use the images projected on a screen from the camera to work within the area using a small tool in another small incision in the scalp. Dr. Salas will lift the forehead tissues and use sutures or tiny screws to secure the new placement.
The Lateral Brow Lift
A lateral brow lift or temporal brow lift targets the outer section of the eyebrow instead of the whole brow. The purpose is to alter the brow’s shape into something more attractive that shows fewer signs of aging. Dr. Salas can combine this procedure with a blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery to enhance your new, youthful appearance.
Dr. Salas performs the surgery by making small incisions near the hairline near the temples. Small lifts are due to a superficial dissection, while a deep dissection creates a minimal lift.
The Conventional Brow Lift
Also known as a coronal brow lift, the conventional brow lift uses a horizontal incision across the top of the scalp, going from ear to ear. Your hair will hide the scar.
During the procedure, the surgeon will dissect your forehead to make muscle adjustments with direct visualization. Once he repositions the upper third of the forehead appropriately, he will remove excess skin and create a smooth, firm surface on the upper dermal layer.
Pretrichial Forehead Lift
This procedure is a surgical correction for the loss of soft tissue elasticity in the upper region of the face. Without skin elasticity, excess skin in the forehead will droop, creating deep furrows and wrinkles. With a pretrichial forehead lift, the plastic surgeon will reposition the underlying tissues and muscles, giving the upper third of your face a refreshed appearance.
It’s possible to combine a pretrichial forehead lift with a facelift, which addresses sagging skin in the lower third of the face.
Are There Any Risks Associated with Brow Lift Surgery?
Dr. Salas and the professionals at Salas Plastic Surgery Miami take all precautions necessary to ensure the safety and positive results of all cosmetic surgeries we provide. However, any time you choose to enhance your appearance through surgical means, even for outpatient procedures, it’s essential for you to understand the associated risks.
Some of the potential complications of brow lifts include:
- Infection
- Issues with anesthesia
- Bleeding
- Hair loss around the incision sites
- Scarring
- Numbness
Before the surgery, Dr. Salas and the anesthesiologist will discuss the surgery’s risks and answer all of your questions.
What to Expect During Recovery
Immediately After Your Surgery
Before your surgery, our team will discuss your aftercare instructions, which we will reiterate after the procedure. Because a brow lift requires anesthesia, you’ll need to arrange for someone to take you home at your discharge time.
When you leave, you’ll have bandages on your head, which you must wear for 24 hours. During the first 48 hours, you should sleep upright on a pile of pillows to elevate your head. It would also help to refrain from showering for 24 hours.
It’s best to avoid anti-inflammatory medications, alcohol, and aspirin because they can increase bruising and bleeding. You can take pain medication that Dr. Salas prescribes.
The First Two Weeks After Your Surgery
You’ll likely need to take one to two weeks off of work during your healing time. During this period, it’s best to avoid rigorous activities like intense workouts, sex, and heavy lifting. However, walking every day is essential for blood circulation.
If you have removable stitches, you will need to come back to our clinic after 7 to 10 days to remove them. If we schedule additional follow-up appointments, be sure to keep them – they are necessary for Dr. Salas to check on your healing progress.

How Does a Brow Lift Work?
The brow lift procedure can be performed using various techniques, including endoscopic, coronal, or temporal brow lifts. Each method involves making small incisions, typically along the hairline, allowing the surgeon to lift and secure the underlying tissues and muscles. Excess skin is removed, and the remaining skin is repositioned to create a smoother, more youthful appearance. The choice of technique depends on the patient's specific needs and desired outcomes. The surgery usually takes 1-2 hours, and the recovery time can vary depending on the individual and the extent of the procedure.

Can a brow lift be combined with other procedures?

Can you lift the forehead without surgery?
We can use nonsurgical methods to lift the brow using injectables like Botox or fillers like Dysport. Nonsurgical blepharoplasty will give you the appearance of a brow lift in several ways.
Fillers plump specific areas to fill in wrinkles and add shape to the region. Botox also smooths fine lines and wrinkles because it relaxes the muscle structures beneath them. Both procedures take minutes for Dr. Salas to perform, and they produce immediate short-term results.
He will use the images projected on a screen from the camera to work within the area using a small tool in another small incision in the scalp. Dr. Salas will lift the forehead tissues and use sutures or tiny screws to secure the new placement.
How much does a Brow Lift cost?
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, a brow lift costs $3,900 on average. The amount includes the surgery but not additional services, such as anesthesia. Before your treatment, we will discuss pricing in detail.
What is a Mini Brow Lift?
A mini brow lift is a less invasive cosmetic procedure. It uses minuscule incisions within the hairline to gently smooth, and lift the forehead. The surgery can also raise the brow line and reduce hooded eyelids.
What Is the best age to get a Brow Lift?
Most patients who have this surgery are between ages 40 and 65. Younger people may also qualify for the procedure if they have deep lines between the brow or a genetic disposition to a heavy brow.
Is a Brow Lift permanent?
The results are not permanent. Your face will continue to age and lose its elasticity, resulting in sagging. However, brow lift surgeries will last for years. You can extend your surgery’s effects with routine Botox maintenance to relax your forehead muscles.
