A brow lift, performed by Dr. Manuel Lopez, is a surgical procedure that addresses sagging eyebrows, forehead creases, and frown lines. By elevating the brow and smoothing the forehead, it rejuvenates your appearance, giving you a more youthful and refreshed look.
Rejuvenate Your
Forehead and Brows
A brow lift is a cosmetic surgical procedure that rejuvenates the forehead and brow area by lifting sagging skin and smoothing out wrinkles. The procedure involves making small incisions, typically along the hairline, to access and adjust the underlying tissues. Excess skin is removed, and the remaining skin is tightened to elevate the eyebrows and reduce forehead lines. This results in a more youthful and refreshed appearance, enhancing the overall harmony of the face.
Brow Lift Treats:
- Sagging or drooping eyebrows
- Deep forehead wrinkles
- Frown lines between the eyebrows
- Horizontal lines across the forehead
- Tired or angry appearance due to brow positioning
- Excess skin on the upper eyelids
- Asymmetrical eyebrows
- Signs of aging in the upper face
Types of Brow Lift
Endoscopic Brow Lift
An endoscopic brow lift is a minimally invasive procedure that uses small incisions hidden within the hairline. A tiny camera, or endoscope, is inserted through these incisions, allowing the surgeon to see and adjust the underlying tissues through an extremely small incision. This technique reduces recovery time and minimizes scarring while effectively lifting the brow and smoothing forehead wrinkles. It is ideal for patients with mild to moderate signs of aging.
Traditional Brow Lift
A traditional brow lift, also known as a coronal brow lift, involves a longer incision made across the top of the head, from ear to ear, within the hairline. This allows for more extensive adjustment of the forehead and brow tissues, making it suitable for patients with significant sagging or deeper wrinkles. Although it may result in a longer recovery period, it provides dramatic and long-lasting results, particularly for those with more advanced signs of aging.

Your Brow Lift Surgery
During your brow lift surgery, Dr. Lopez will begin by administering anesthesia to ensure your comfort. Depending on the chosen technique, he will make small incisions either along your hairline for an endoscopic approach or across the top of your head for a traditional lift. Through these incisions, Dr. Lopez will carefully lift and adjust the underlying muscles and tissues to elevate your brows and smooth out forehead wrinkles. Any excess skin will be removed to create a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
Dr. Lopez takes great care to place incisions strategically to minimize visible scarring. Once the adjustments are complete, he will close the incisions with sutures or staples and apply dressings to protect the area. You will be monitored as you wake up from anesthesia, and detailed post-operative instructions will be provided to ensure a smooth recovery. With Dr. Lopez, you can expect natural-looking and long-lasting results from your brow lift surgery.
Brow Lift Recovery & Aftercare
After your brow lift surgery, you will experience some swelling and bruising around the forehead and eyes, which is normal. Dr. Lopez will provide you with aftercare instructions, including how to care for your incisions and manage any discomfort with prescribed medications. Keeping your head elevated and applying cold compresses can help reduce swelling. You should avoid strenuous activities and follow Dr. Lopez’s guidelines to ensure a smooth recovery.
In the weeks following your surgery, you will gradually see the swelling diminish, revealing the results of your brow lift. Most patients return to their normal activities within 10 to 14 days, although it may take several weeks for all swelling to subside completely. Dr. Lopez will also schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your healing progress and address any concerns.
