What are brow lifts for?
It’s all about aging.
As skin ages, it loses collagen. As a result, skins elasticity declines as well. This is part of the natural aging process and the cause of things commonly associated with aged skin such as sagging, wrinkles, and fine lines. Natural aging makes the face droop all over, and your brows are no exception. As we get older the “tail” (or outside part) of our eyebrows start to droop first. Drooping eyebrows can give eyes a hooded, tired, and heavy look, making us feel tired and look older than we are.
Brow lifts aims to raise the “tail” of the brow back to where it sits naturally.
Getting a brow lift can open up the face, brighten the eyes, and boost your confidence!

What to Expect
The surgeons at Allure Laser Center and MediSpa have several techniques for brow lifts, tailoring their approach to each client’s appearance and anatomy. Techniques include camouflaging the incision just behind or just in front of the hair line.
Surgery is performed under local anesthesia delivered through an IV. Allure’s facilities feature a fully certified outpatient surgery center onsite where we can perform brow lift surgery.
Aftercare
After the procedure you will receive instructions from your doctor about how to care for your incisions. Typically, the first few days will consist of rest, cold compresses, and decreased activity to avoid pressure or motion that could irritate your incisions.
You may experience some itchiness and numbness which should decrease over time. If your incisions are bandaged, you’ll likely have them removed within three days post-op. Sutures (stitches) should be removed within 10 days.
If you have any questions about what you can and can’t do immediately following surgery, ask your doctor.
