Our triple-board certified surgeon, Dr. Sean Freeman, is a pioneer in the field. He has personally developed and refined a technique called the Segmental Endoscopic Brow Lift for more than 15 years. Our goal is to ensure that all patients feel confident and rejuvenated through our exceptional level of service and attention to detail.
A Brow Lift, also called a forehead lift, is a surgery that can help reshape and raise drooping eyebrows, reduce frown lines, and correct deep creases. During the procedure, Dr. Freeman adjusts the muscles and tissues beneath the sagging forehead skin for a facial rejuvenation. The aim is to elevate the eyebrows in such a way that their position seems natural—without any tightness or look of constant surprise.
Dr. Freeman has developed a unique method called the Segmental Endoscopic Brow Lift. This technique is performed with precision and hidden scarring. A Brow Lift concentrates on the upper third of the face. This plastic surgery helps smooth furrows between the brows, horizontal forehead creases, and drooping brows. It is customized to each patient based on how much their brows have aged and to each patient’s overall degree of aging as well as the gender of each patient.
At Only Faces, we offer different Brow Lift techniques based on each patient’s level of aging. There are five types of Brow Lifts, each varying in intensity to match the patient’s needs.
Dr. Freeman’s research over the years has shown that 15% of his patients have significant asymetry of the brows. If a patient’s brows aren’t positioned evenly and one brow droops more or sits lower than the other, Dr. Freeman may recommend an Asymmetrical Brow Lift. Using a Segmental Endoscopic Brow Lift approach, our surgeon can target each brow’s individual requirements with great precision. This way, he makes alterations that bring them closer to appearing symmetrical with one another. Thanks to this operation, patients enjoy an enhanced facial equilibrium.
When patients first meet with Dr. Sean Freeman, he examines them thoroughly to decide which Brow Lift technique would suit them best. He analyzes the exact position of their brows, the thickness of skin, and the extent of any forehead aging. Dr. Freeman also makes sure to take detailed photographs so they can later be compared with how the patient looks after healing from surgery.
Prior to proceeding with surgery, a patient should have a range of medical tests to confirm their suitability for the procedure. These might consist of blood tests, an EKG, and other evaluations to discover any possible reasons why the surgery would not be advisable. Some include:
On the surgery day, Dr. Freeman marks the places on the forehead where incisions will be made. He plans these incisions carefully so that patients get minimal scarring. The segmental endoscopic brow lift is always performed under general anesthesia. This way, our patients don’t feel any pain whilst having their operation.
Dr. Freeman will make careful incisions based on the specific brow lift method chosen. Using a Segmental Endoscopic Brow Lift, he makes small incisions which allows him to use an endoscope. Then, Dr. Freeman artfully adjusts tissues beneath the skin, raising the brow to a higher point on the face for a younger look – all while making sure it still appears natural. This procedure is customized to how much each patient’s brows have drooped over time, providing results that are personalized just for them.
After the brow tissues have been repositioned and lifted as desired, Dr. Freeman closes the incisions with staples and at times sutures depending on the needs.. These are carefully placed in locations where they will be difficult to see. It can be either along natural creases in the forehead or within the hairline. The surgery can take anywhere from one hour to two, depending on how complicated it is.
Most patients experience some swelling and bruising in the first few days after surgery. Keeping your head elevated and using cold compresses can help minimize these effects. Patients are usually allowed to gently wash their hair after the first day.
In the first weeks after a Brow Lift, we advise every patient to keep a head elevated. It can help heal and reduce swelling. Cold compresses might also be recommended for this reason. Dr. Freeman usually removes stitches after 6 days. For at least two weeks, patients should avoid exercise that could put too much strain on their body. Besides, they should avoid any heavy lifting and must avoid sun exposure. After two weeks, they can do light exercise. After 4 weeks they can go back to normal activities. To lessen infection risks, Dr. Freeman will prescribe antibiotics. He also sends patients detailed instructions on how to look after their wounds.
Over the next few weeks, patients can notice that any swelling or bruising goes down. However, it might take as long as three months before they can see the full effect of the procedure. As their brow and forehead heal, they will look younger and more refreshed. Still, Dr. Freeman arranges postoperative appointments to track progress and guarantee ideal healing. With appropriate care, the effects of a brow lift can be enduring. Patients may enjoy a more youthful appearance that complements their overall look for many years.
A Brow Lift is most suitable for patients who have started to notice signs of aging in their upper face and forehead. However, there are some other requirements. Here are some major considerations that make someone a good fit for this type of surgery:
Having a sagging brow or deep forehead lines is a primary reason for a brow lift. These may occur due to aging, genetics, or environmental factors.
A brow lift should be helpful for patients with asymmetrical brows. This procedure can improve how the face looks overall by making it more balanced and symmetrical.
Nicotine can hinder the healing process and increase the risk of complications during and after surgery. Thus, we recommend our patients quit smoking at least 2 weeks before the procedure until at least 2 weeks after surgery.
