BROW LIFT
A brow lift rejuvenates the upper third of the face by elevating the brows to a more youthful, natural position and opening the eyes for a refreshed, well-rested appearance. With age, the brows, particularly the outer or lateral portions, tend to descend and create heaviness or a tired look. A brow lift restores brightness and vitality while maintaining facial harmony and authenticity.
DR. SCHULTZ'S APPROACH
Dr. Kelly Schultz performs brow lift surgery with an emphasis on natural rejuvenation and balanced elevation. Her goal is to reposition the brows to their youthful height while maintaining softness and individual expression and without resulting in an over-elevated or “surprised” appearance.

WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE
A brow lift may be ideal for individuals who:
-
Notice heaviness or drooping of the brows, especially toward the outer corners
-
Feel their eyes appear tired or shadowed despite feeling rested
-
Have deep forehead creases or frown lines that create a fatigued or stern expression
-
Desire a more open, youthful eye appearance
-
Are in good overall health with realistic expectations
Dr. Schultz frequently combines brow lift surgery with upper blepharoplasty to achieve comprehensive rejuvenation of the eyes and forehead.
SURGICAL TECHNIQUES
Dr. Schultz selects the most appropriate brow lift technique based on each patient’s anatomy, degree of brow descent, and hairline position.
ENDOSCOPIC BROW LIFT
A minimally invasive technique using several small incisions hidden within the scalp. With the aid of a camera, Dr. Schultz lifts and repositions the forehead and brows precisely, reducing downtime and leaving no visible scars.
LATERAL (TEMPORAL) BROW LIFT
Targets the outer third of the brow and forehead, where descent most commonly occurs. This technique provides a soft, natural elevation and is ideal for patients seeking subtle rejuvenation with minimal incisions at the temples.
PRETRICHIAL (HAIRLINE) BROW LIFT
Performed at the front hairline for patients with higher or longer foreheads. This approach allows precise control of brow height while achieving an ideal forehead length.
CORONAL BROW LIFT
A more traditional method using an incision placed discreetly within the scalp, reserved for patients with significant brow descent and thicker hair coverage.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Brow lift surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation and takes one to two hours. The procedure is performed through small, concealed incisions within or along the hairline, allowing precise access to lift and reposition the underlying tissues of the forehead and brow. The incisions are closed with fine sutures for smooth healing, and most patients return home the same day and notice an immediate improvement in the openness and expression of the eyes.
