A brow lift at Ginger Slack, MD, aims to restore a refreshed, youthful look by gently lifting the brows and smoothing forehead lines. Dr. Slack’s meticulous approach ensures natural, sophisticated results that enhance your overall facial harmony.
Elevate your brows to a youthful position
A brow lift is a surgical procedure that lifts and reshapes your brow line, reducing forehead wrinkles, frown lines, and sagging brows. Over time, aging, genetics, and sun exposure can cause your brows to droop, making you look tired or angry. A brow lift restores a refreshed, youthful appearance by elevating your brows to a natural, flattering position. Dr. Ginger Slack’s meticulous approach ensures subtle, sophisticated results that enhance your facial harmony—helping you look as vibrant as you feel.
Possible reasons to consider a brow lift:
- You notice sagging brows that make you look tired or angry
- You have deep forehead wrinkles or frown lines
- You feel your heavy brows are affecting your facial expressions
- You struggle with excess skin hooding your upper eyelids
- You feel self-conscious about signs of aging in your upper face
- You seek a balanced, harmonious look that enhances your features
What happens during the brow lift procedure?
Dr. Slack customizes your brow lift to achieve natural results. The procedure is performed under anesthesia. Depending on your needs, she may use one of several techniques:
- Endoscopic Brow Lift: Small incisions are made behind your hairline, and a tiny camera helps guide precise adjustments.
- Traditional Brow Lift: A longer incision is placed along your hairline to lift the entire forehead, ideal for significant correction.
- Temporal Brow Lift: A shorter incision at the temples targets the outer brow for a subtle, refreshed look.
Dr. Slack carefully repositions underlying tissues, smooths forehead wrinkles, and removes excess skin before closing the incisions with fine sutures. The result is a rejuvenated, naturally elevated brow that enhances facial harmony. After the procedure, you’ll begin the recovery process with detailed post-op instructions to ensure the best healing and results.
What can I expect during the consultation?
During your consultation, Dr. Slack will take the time to understand your concerns and goals. She will carefully evaluate your facial structure, skin elasticity, and brow position to determine the best approach for natural, harmonious results. You’ll discuss different brow lift techniques, recovery expectations, and any complementary procedures that may enhance your outcome. Dr. Slack will answer all your questions, ensuring you feel confident about your options.
What can I expect during recovery after a brow lift?
In the first few days after your brow lift, you can expect mild swelling, bruising, and tightness in your forehead. Dr. Slack will provide detailed aftercare instructions, including keeping your head elevated and using cold compresses to minimize swelling. You may have temporary numbness or mild discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed or over-the-counter pain medication. Most patients feel well enough to resume light activities within a week, though strenuous exercise should be avoided for about four weeks.
Sutures or staples, if used, are typically removed within 7-10 days. As swelling subsides over the following weeks, your results will become more visible, revealing a lifted and refreshed appearance. Minor residual swelling may take a few months to fully resolve, but you’ll notice continuous improvements. Dr. Slack will continue monitoring your healing through follow-up visits to ensure optimal results and a smooth recovery.
