Direct Browlift
|
Quick Links Overview |
A Direct Browlift is a surgical procedure which can improve the appearance of the brow and forehead area. The area is given a rejuvenated, more youthful appearance rather than appearing angry or tired.
Direct Browlifts can specifically treat:
- Drooping or sagging brow that may impair vision
- Excess fatty deposits that appear as puffiness in the area above the eye
- Excess skin and fine wrinkles in the area between the eyebrows
There are three major steps in a blepharoplasty procedure:
Step 1 - Anesthesia
This surgery is done under local anesthesia with sedation from Valium or in combination with Zanax in our outpatient surgery area in the office or it can be done under general anesthesia in the hospital

Step 2 - The Incision
Incisions are carefully made just above the eyebrows in order to conceal any scars in the hair of the eyebrow.
After the incision is made, excess skin is removed in order to lift the brow.
Step 3 - Closing the incision
Eyelid incisions are typically closed using one of the following methods:
- Removeable or absorbable sutures
- Skin adhesives
- Surgical tape
The decision to have a brow lift is extremely personal and you’ll have to decide if the benefits will achieve your goals and if the risks and potential complications are acceptable.
