Brow Lifts in Los Alamitos, CA
Surgery to lift the brow (sometimes known as a forehead lift or browplasty) is a popular procedure that provides a refreshed look to the upper area of the face. A brow or forehead lift improves the low placement or sagging of the brow, the facial region from the eyebrows to top of the forehead at the hairline. In some patients, the repeated, unconscious raising of the brow over time can cause the forehead skin to sag, as can the natural aging process. A sagging brow can often cause an angry, worried, or tired appearance. A browplasty surgically corrects a drooping brow by lifting the eyebrows and eliminating excess skin. Dr. Raman Mehrzad is a board-certified plastic surgeon in Los Alamitos, CA who has completed browplasty on many men and women to give them a more youthful appearance. Facelifts, eyelid lifts, dermal fillers, and BOTOX are commonly performed along with a forehead lift at Ocean Plastic Surgery Center for best results, producing a smoother and softer appearance.

1) What a Modern Brow Lift Improves
A contemporary brow lift elevates a heavy or descended brow, opens the upper eyelids, and softens forehead/frown lines without creating a surprised look. Many patients think they need upper blepharoplasty, but lateral brow descent is the true driver of hooding.
2) Benefits
- Rested eye appearance without over‑arching
- Reduces lateral hooding that mimics excess upper‑lid skin
- Softens forehead lines by rebalancing vectors
- Pairs seamlessly with upper blepharoplasty
- Incisions hidden behind or at the hairline (pretrichial)
3) Candidacy
You may be a candidate if you subconsciously raise your brows, have brow tails below the orbital rim, or persistent hooding despite skincare. Healthy non‑smokers with realistic goals do best.
4) Techniques
Endoscopic Brow Lift
Short hair‑hidden incisions and camera guidance for precise release and fixation; excellent for lateral brow descent.
Temporal (Lateral) Brow Lift
Targets the outer third of the brow; often paired with upper bleph for refined framing.
Pretrichial/Trichophytic (Hairline) Lift
Ideal for high foreheads; subtly shortens forehead while lifting the brow; hairs grow through beveled incision.
Coronal Lift (Selective)
Used selectively in thick‑haired patients needing global elevation and forehead shortening.
5) Incisions & Scars
We preserve hairline position/density, avoid widening the forehead, and hide scars in hair or at the hairline. Scar care: silicone, SPF.
6) Procedure
- Vector planning seated
- Anesthesia
- Selective release of brow depressors
- Elevation/fixation for symmetry
- Layered closure
7) Recovery & Aftercare
Swelling/tightness for days; socially comfortable in 7–10 days. Head elevation, cold compresses, and activity restrictions aid recovery.
8) Risks
Bleeding, infection, asymmetry, visible scarring, temporary hair shedding near incisions, and rare nerve irritation.
9) Combining Procedures
Upper/lower blepharoplasty, CO₂ laser around the eyes, and temple fat transfer are common add‑ons.
10) Cost & Financing
Depends on technique and combinations. Clear estimates and financing available.
FAQs
Brow lift or upper blepharoplasty—how do I choose?
If heaviness originates from a low brow, lifting the brow first restores the frame; then a conservative upper bleph refines the crease.
Will I look surprised?
No. We focus on lateral brow support and natural vectors to keep expressions relaxed.
Will it change my hairline?
Endoscopic techniques preserve the hairline; pretrichial can intentionally shorten a high forehead.
How long do results last?
Many years, with aging continuing slowly. Sun protection and neuromodulators help maintain results.
When can I wear makeup and color my hair?
Makeup after suture removal; hair color typically 2–3 weeks when incisions are sealed.
