Brow Lift in Fort Worth

During your consultation, you will meet with Dr. Goggin for an evaluation and to discuss your aesthetic goals. The amount of correction you require and a variety of other factors will be taken into consideration to help determine the right technique for your individual needs.

Facelift surgery, blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), facial fat grafting, and laser/chemical peels are often combined with brow lift surgery to achieve complete facial rejuvenation.

Sagging brows as well as excess tissue in the eyelids can contribute to vision impairment and drooping in the upper eyelids. To determine if a brow lift alone will correct this condition, place your fingers just above your eyebrows and lift them into a more favorable position. If most of the skin in the upper eyelid is improved, a brow lift is most likely right for you. If excess tissue in the eyelid remains, eyelid surgery may also be needed to rejuvenate the eyes. Lower eyelid surgery can also be performed to remove excess skin and bags below the eyes.

You will be advised to sleep with your back and head elevated for the first week after the procedure, and mild activities such as walking can be performed during this time. Most patients can return to work one week after surgery, but strenuous activities and heavy lifting must be avoided for at least a few weeks. Your surgeon will give you specific instructions to follow your procedure to ensure the safest and most effective recovery.

Dr. Goggin does not have a set age range for brow lift. Because the forehead is one of the first areas on the face to show signs of aging, sometimes patients seek treatment earlier than they might for other forms of facial enhancement. The “right” time to seek brow lift is any point at which you develop visible signs of aging on your brow and wish to make improvements.

Dr. Goggin frequently combines brow lift with other procedures. In fact, many patients pair brow lift with facelift/neck lift so they can simultaneously rejuvenate the top and bottom areas of their face. By having both surgeries performed on the same day, you can overlap the recovery periods and save on some facility/anesthesia costs.

Since each brow lift is customized to the needs and requests of the patient, the price is largely dependent on the techniques you and Dr. Goggin agree will best achieve your goals. During a consultation, Dr. Goggin can devise a surgical plan and provide a quote. Because brow lift is an elective procedure, it is not covered by insurance, but financing options are available at Westside Plastic Surgery.

Some of the skin-smoothing effects of brow lift can be mimicked with injectable treatments like BOTOX or Dysport. However, now that endoscopic and temporal brow lift procedures are so famously minimally invasive, patients who may otherwise not be interested in cosmetic surgical procedures find brow lift to be a suitable compromise. Not only are the results more transformative, but brow lift also avoids the need for injections a few times per year to maintain the results.
