Brow Lift (Forehead Lift)
Island Plastic Surgery offers Brow Lifts to patients from Mineola, West Islip, Long Island and nearby areas.
Sometimes, excess skin and deep-set "frown lines" around the eyes and brow can give you a tired, angry expression. As you age, these lines become more significant and harder to ignore. A brow lift at Island Plastic Surgery in Mineola and West Islip, NY, is a great way to raise naturally low or heavy brows. Also known as a forehead lift, the procedure can also effectively combat signs of aging by decreasing frown lines and sagging skin over your eyes.
Island’s professional medical team is happy to work with forehead lift patients throughout our extended community, including residents of New Rochelle, Yonkers and Hempstead, NY, and Greenwich, CT. With our brow lift expertise, we can remove or significantly reduce the lines running across your forehead or vertically along the bridge of your nose. Our skills and experience have also helped various Long Island-area men and women elevate their descended brows. As a result, not only does a forehead lift produce a more youthful visage, but the surgery also creates a brighter, fresher and more alert appearance.
Am I a Good Candidate for a Brow Lift?
Most people are interested in a forehead lift as a way to look younger by tackling the lines and grooves across their forehead and between their brows. The brow lift patients at our offices in Mineola and West Islip are typically between the ages of 40 and 60. However, younger adults may be suitable for the procedure if they have developed furrows as a result of stress, muscle activity or inherited conditions. Some of the more common reasons for a forehead lift include:
- Sagging brow
- Forehead wrinkling
- Deep creases between the eyebrows and on the bridge of the nose
- Deep furrows between the eyes

How is a Brow Lift Performed?
There are several options for a brow lift, depending on the extent of the correction and your surgeon’s preferences. Some typical methods include:
- An endoscopic brow lift uses a surgical video device called an endoscope and other special instruments. These are inserted into small incisions within the hairline. The surgeon will manipulate the tissue and muscle beneath the skin, correcting the source of visible creases and furrows in the forehead.
- To fix a low-positioned or sagging brow, the surgeon may or may not use an endoscope. Incisions are typically made at the temple and in the scalp. Sometimes, this method may also require incisions hidden in the natural crease of the upper eyelids to eliminate frown lines between the brows.
- Another technique is the coronal brow lift, which targets specific regions to correct. For this method, the surgeon will make an incision from ear to ear. The forehead will be lifted, and excess skin will be removed from the scalp.
No matter the technique, the incision lines from a brow lift are usually well concealed within the hair or natural contours of the face, although some may need to be made at the hairline. Results appear gradually, as swelling and bruising subside, to reveal smoother forehead skin and a more youthful, restful appearance. At Island, some of our patients in Mineola and West Islip choose to have their brow lift in conjunction with other cosmetic procedures to achieve a more harmonious facial appearance.
