Is a Brow Lift Painful?

The procedure itself shouldn’t hurt since it’s performed under general anesthesia, but some discomfort, tightness, and swelling are common during recovery. These symptoms can be managed with prescribed pain medication and proper care. Most patients report only mild discomfort during recovery, which generally subsides within a few days to a week.

How Many Appointments Will I Need?

A brow lift typically involves a few essential appointments: an initial consultation to assess your goals and create a custom surgical plan, sometimes a pre-operative appointment to discuss the procedure and provide pre-surgery instructions, and the surgery day itself. Afterward, you’ll have follow-up appointments to monitor healing, remove sutures, and check for complications.

How Long Until I See Results?

The results of a brow lift are visible immediately after the procedure, with an instant improvement in eyebrow position. However, swelling and bruising may temporarily mask the final results. It typically takes about 2-3 weeks for most of the swelling to subside, and the full effects of the surgery become apparent within 6 to 12 months.

Can I Combine a Brow Lift With Other Procedures?

Yes, many patients choose to pair their brow lift with eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) to address excess skin or puffiness in the upper eyelids, sometimes a rhinoplasty for a more balanced appearance, or even a facelift to rejuvenate the entire face. Combining procedures allows you to achieve a more complete and harmonious result in one surgical session, minimizing downtime.

What Are the Risks Associated With a Brow Lift?

Like any surgical procedure, a brow lift carries some risks, though serious complications are rare. Potential risks include infection, scarring, asymmetry, numbness, and changes in hairline position. In some cases, temporary swelling or bruising may also occur. Dr. Pirani greatly minimizes these risks by using precise techniques and ensuring proper aftercare. He will review all potential risks with you during your consultation.

Renew With A Brow Lift

Achieve a more youthful and refreshed look with a brow lift. This procedure focuses on lifting and tightening sagging tissues around the eyebrows, improving their position and shape. A brow lift is ideal for those with drooping eyebrows, which can make you appear tired or older.

What is a Brow Lift?

A brow lift is a procedure designed to lift and tighten sagging tissues in the upper third of the face, improving the position and shape of the eyebrows. As we age, the brows can droop, creating a tired or aged appearance. A brow lift addresses this by repositioning the eyebrows to a more youthful and refreshed look, enhancing facial expression and rejuvenating the eyes. This procedure is ideal for individuals looking to correct eyebrow sagging and restore balance to the upper face.

What Are the Benefits of a Brow Lift?

A brow lift enhances your facial expression by restoring a youthful and refreshed eyebrow position. It can lift drooping brows, giving the eyes a more open, vibrant look. The procedure also improves overall facial harmony, making you appear more alert and rejuvenated. Many individuals experience a boost in self-confidence as the brow lift creates a more balanced and youthful facial aesthetic. This transformative procedure delivers a natural improvement, bringing a refreshed, relaxed, and more youthful appearance to the upper face.

Who Are the Best Candidates For a Brow Lift?

If you’ve noticed any of the following, you may be an ideal candidate for a brow lift:

Sagging or drooping eyebrows
Loss of the natural, youthful arch to your brows
A tired or heavy appearance around the eyes
A desire to achieve a more open, refreshed look

It’s important that patients stop smoking for at least 4 to 6 weeks before surgery to promote healing. You should also avoid medications that increase bleeding risk, such as aspirin, prior to your procedure. Dr. Pirani will assess your specific needs and guide you through the process to ensure you’re a suitable candidate for this transformative procedure.

What’s the
First step?

There is a large amount of information to review during a brow lift consultation. Dr. Pirani will usually spend approximately 30 minutes with you during this consultation to go over all of the surgical details and options prior to creating a custom surgical plan for you. He will go over risks and complications and give you an idea of what you should expect in terms of results and recovery.

Dr. Pirani’s goal is to educate you so that you fully understand your customized surgical plan. At The Toronto Plastic Surgery Center, we want you to be fully informed so that you understand everything about your treatment plan.

What to Expect on the Day of Brow Lift Surgery and How is it Performed?

When it comes to brow lift surgery, there are a few techniques to consider, with the endoscopic brow lift being one of the most common methods Dr. Pirani uses. This technique involves small, discreet incisions made within the scalp, resulting in minimal scarring and faster recovery. The procedure helps to reposition the eyebrows for a more youthful, refreshed appearance, with reduced swelling and downtime.

In some cases, Dr. Pirani may recommend a more traditional direct excision above the brows, typically for older patients with more significant sagging or excess skin. This approach allows for precise repositioning of the eyebrows and removal of excess skin.

For individuals who also experience excess skin on their upper eyelids, a blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) may be recommended in addition to the brow lift. After a thorough consultation, Dr. Pirani will assess your goals and anatomy, crafting a personalized treatment plan to achieve the most natural and rejuvenated result.

Brow Lift Recovery

Generally, people can go back to work within 1 to 2 weeks. Some bruising will occur for anywhere from 1 to 4 weeks after the surgery (everyone heals at different rates). Most postoperative swelling usually resolves within 2-6 weeks.

How Much Does a Brow Lift Cost in Toronto, Ontario?

The cost of a Brow Lift in Toronto depends on the technique used, the surgeon’s experience, and the specifics of your surgical plan. On average, a brow lift may cost between $9,500 and $15,000. This includes the consultation, procedure, anesthesia, and follow-up visits.
