About the Brow Lift
A brow lift procedure is a treatment designed to reposition and lift the eyebrows while also addressing signs of aging. Two types of brow lifts are performed at Roham Advance Laser & Cosmetic Surgery: the endoscopic and the open approach brow lift. Each method targets different concerns to help patients reposition their eyebrows, revitalizing and rejuvenating their skin in the process.
Benefits
There are many benefits to receiving brow lifts. A brow lift can help reduce the symptoms of aging, such as forehead wrinkles, crow’s feet, and even frown lines. Patients can restore the youth to their face by lifting their eyebrows. A brow lift can open the eye area up, making you look more awake and attentive and individuals with obstructed vision may experience improved sight as excess, drooping skin is lifted. (1)
Candidates
The most ideal candidates for an eyebrow lift are:
- Experiencing signs and symptoms of aging such as forehead wrinkles or crow’s feet.
- Struggling with low-positioned eyebrows.
- Wanting to restore the youth to their face.
- Interested in boosting their self-esteem and confidence.
Personal Consultation
At Roham Advance Laser & Cosmetic Surgery, we ask that each patient schedule a personal consultation before each procedure. This consultation is a chance for Dr. Roham to get to know each patient on a deeper level while also getting a better understanding of their experienced symptoms and ideal treatment goals. After examining the treatment area, he will be able to suggest the best method and strategies to help each patient look and feel their best. Personal consultations are accepted at both of our locations.
To schedule your personal consultation with Dr. Roham at either our San Clemente or Santa Ana office, please call (714) 557-0777 or fill in our contact form, and a member of our team will respond as soon as possible.
Preparation
Before each appointment, Dr. Roham will instruct the patient on how to properly prepare for the procedure. Patients may be asked to temporarily stop taking certain medications or supplements such as ibuprofen, Advil, and fish oil. If applicable, please quit smoking a few weeks prior to the procedure and refrain from tobacco or nicotine until fully healed or approved by Dr. Roham. Patients should pre-arrange transportation home from their procedure and stock up on any potential recovery items needed to maximize comfort, including ice packs and medications.
Procedure
Multiple methods can be used to help achieve a more youthful appearance. The chosen method depends on your skin’s condition and your personalized treatment plan to help you reach your aesthetic goals. The two types of procedures we perform are endoscopic brow lifts and open-approach brow lifts. (1)
Endoscopic Brow Lift
Endoscopic brow lifts are ideal for patients who are only experiencing mild to moderate symptoms and have a smaller amount of excess skin. The endoscopic brow lift is currently the most popular method of brow lift procedure. (2) This method starts with the administration of anesthetic to ensure that you feel comfortable during your procedure. General anesthesia is typically used during a browlift. This procedure requires a more minimal incision. A small endoscope, or camera, is then used to guide Dr. Roham as he lifts and repositions the facial tissue. During this procedure, the muscles that lead to fine lines and wrinkles are also adjusted to restore a more youthful look.
Open Approach Brow Lift
Open-approach brow lifts are traditionally performed to help address more severe symptoms. Both methods strategically hide visible scarring and offer significant results for patients. Dr. Roham may use an open approach to lift the brow and excise skin directly, all with incisions carefully placed to be hidden at or behind the hairline. Some of the muscles causing the furrows of the brow are disrupted or removed to provide a longer-lasting result. Each method is tailored to give the appropriate elevation at the area of the brow where you need it most. This method can also be called a coronal brow lift or traditional brow lift. (2)
Recovery
Following the treatment, patients may experience slight swelling and bruising around the treatment area. These effects will subside within the week and any tenderness or discomfort can be managed through the use of pain medications. After 1-2 weeks, patients will start being able to return to their daily routine. The full effects of the procedure can be seen after 3 months of healing. Scarring may take several months to fade but will be hidden within the hairline.
Results
The full effects of the eyebrow lift can be seen around 3 months after the initial treatment. Patients will be able to fully enjoy the results of their treatment for 5-10 years, making this a long-lasting treatment with natural-looking results. Patients will be able to experience tighter skin and a refreshed appearance.

An eyebrow lift is a procedure that can commonly be performed alongside other procedures to create a combined, enhanced effect. One of the most common procedures to combine with a brow lift is an upper-eyelid lift, also known as a blepharoplasty. A blepharoplasty is a procedure that removes excess tissue from the eyelids to create a smoother and more youthful appearance. This procedure repositions the eyelid skin and muscles to address symptoms of aging such as crow’s feet and forehead wrinkles. Patients may look more alert and attentive, and those who previously experienced obstructed vision will be able to experience a significant improvement in their sight.
