Soften forehead lines, reposition a sagging brow, and bring back a rested, alert expression. Lateral and endoscopic brow lift techniques with Endotine fixation by double board-certified Dr. Nathan Eberle.
For many people, the brow area is one of the first parts of the face to show lines and sagging. Has your forehead begun to show deep wrinkles? Double board-certified plastic surgeon Nathan Eberle, M.D., D.D.S., F.A.C.S. performs brow lifts at Weston Center for Plastic Surgery for patients in Fort Lauderdale and Broward County.
A brow lift, also called a forehead lift, counteracts that aging effect. The skin above the brows is elevated and smoothed so the forehead reads as refreshed and younger without looking surgical.
A brow lift eliminates the wrinkles, creases, and deep folds that develop on the forehead, repositioning the brow line to its ideal height. The procedure can take years off the face and create a naturally more alert look. Several techniques exist to suit individual anatomy, all designed to produce a natural-looking result.
Most patients seeking a brow lift have started to notice deep forehead lines or sagging brows. Many have already tried temporary fixes like dermal fillers or muscle relaxants and are looking for a long-term solution. If your forehead makes you look angry or tired when you are not, a brow lift may be right for you. Suitable for most adults in good general health.
A brow lift requires general anesthesia and takes approximately two hours. It is performed as open surgery, with incisions placed along the hairline so Dr. Eberle can visually sculpt the forehead tissues.
During surgery, the skin, fat, and muscles of the forehead are trimmed, lifted, and sculpted to leave behind a smoother contour. Once the work is complete, sutures close the incisions.
Both approaches use Endotine fixation. Dr. Eberle selects the technique that best fits your anatomy and goals.
Dr. Eberle's specialty. The lateral technique focuses on the outer brow and temple area, raising the eyebrows and softening crow's feet through a discreet upper-eyelid incision. A dissolvable Endotine device holds the forehead skin, muscle, and fat in place as it heals — simplifying the fixation and giving the surgeon precise control over the result.
Performed through several small puncture incisions along the hairline rather than a long coronal cut. A handheld endoscope feeds magnified video of the underlying muscles and tissues, letting Dr. Eberle reposition lax skin with precision. An Endotine forehead device secures the lifted tissues with minimal stretch.
Compared to a traditional “open” brow lift, the endoscopic approach offers:
Small, puncture-type hairline incisions with less scarring.
Little to no residual scalp numbness.
Reduced hair loss.
Minimal discomfort, swelling, bruising, and recovery time.
The realistic timeline for returning to work, activity, and feeling like yourself.
The price of a brow lift varies with the extent of the surgical work, the technique used, and other factors. Weston Center for Plastic Surgery offers financing so the investment can be planned around the rest of your life.
