Direct Brow Lift

Who Is a Candidate for a Direct Brow Lift?

A direct brow lift is often recommended for individuals with:


• Severe brow drooping that impacts vision or appearance.
• Heavy, thick eyebrows where scars can be well-concealed.
• A desire for targeted lifting without major changes to the forehead.
• Conditions like facial nerve palsy that create brow asymmetry.

This procedure is particularly effective for patients seeking functional and cosmetic improvements. Schedule a consultation to see if this is the right option for you.

How Is a Direct Brow Lift Performed?

During a direct brow lift, a small incision is made just above the natural brow line. Excess skin is carefully removed, and the remaining tissue is lifted and secured for a smoother, elevated brow. The incisions are meticulously closed, with the scar blending naturally into the eyebrow area over time. This precise approach makes the direct brow lift a powerful option for addressing significant drooping.

What Are the Benefits of a Direct Brow Lift?

• Targeted correction: Focuses directly on lifting heavy brows for immediate improvement.
• Improved vision: Reduces drooping that obstructs the field of vision.
• Natural results: Enhances brow position without altering the forehead.
• Effective for asymmetry: Addresses uneven brows caused by medical conditions or trauma.

What Is the Recovery Like After a Direct Brow Lift?

Recovery from a direct brow lift is relatively quick. Patients can expect mild swelling, bruising, or tightness around the incision area, which typically subsides within 1-2 weeks. Most patients can return to light activities within a week, though strenuous exercise should be avoided for about two weeks.
