Experience a Brighter Look With a Brow Lift

Aging is inevitable, but the visible effects don't have to be. Genetics, sun exposure, and gravity can all contribute to forehead lines and creases, making you appear older or more fatigued than you feel. A brow lift is a proven way to rejuvenate your appearance, restoring a vibrant, uplifted look to your face.

Your Newport Beach Brow Lift Consultation

If you have questions about brow lift surgery (also known as a forehead lift), your private consultation with Dr. Paul Nassif for your brow lift in Newport Beach is the perfect time to learn more. As a renowned facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Nassif will carefully review your medical history, including any current medications or supplements, to determine candidacy. Most patients are excellent candidates for this procedure. You will also have the opportunity to discuss your goals in detail. Dr. Nassif understands that visible signs of aging can impact self-confidence. He encourages patients to speak openly about what they hope to achieve so that he can offer guidance and realistic expectations. Any potential risks will be fully discussed during the consultation to ensure you are well-informed.

The Brow Lift Procedure

Patients must avoid eating and drinking after midnight the evening before surgery and use antimicrobial soap the night before and the morning of the procedure. Dr. Nassif offers two surgical approaches for brow lifts in Newport Beach. The traditional method involves a continuous incision along the natural hairline from ear to ear, allowing him to lift the skin, remove excess tissue, and reposition underlying muscles for a more youthful look. Alternatively, the endoscopic technique uses a few small incisions hidden within the hairline. This minimally invasive approach reduces bruising and swelling and typically shortens recovery time. It also avoids the use of general anesthesia in many cases.

Healing and Aftercare

Some discomfort or nausea may occur immediately after your brow lift, but our medical team can provide medication for relief. A light diet is recommended initially, with a gradual return to regular eating habits. Swelling and bruising can last around ten days, and a head wrap will be applied to reduce these effects. Patients will be sent home with pain and antibiotic prescriptions and should follow instructions carefully for the best recovery outcome.

Bandages are removed within the first few days, while sutures generally remain for seven to ten days. Sleeping with your head elevated is important to minimize swelling, and patients should avoid strenuous activities while taking short walks to prevent clotting. Keep the incision site dry for the first few days.

Does a facelift include the forehead?

No. A facelift targets the lower portion of the face, from the eyes down. If you're seeking full facial rejuvenation, your physician may recommend a combination of procedures, such as a facelift, neck lift, and brow lift, which can often be performed during the same surgical session.

Can a brow lift help with a receding hairline?

It depends on the patient's specific condition. In some cases, incisions can be placed lower on the forehead to adjust the hairline. Dr. Nassif will assess your goals and anatomy during your consultation to determine the right approach.

Why do people say I look angry or tired all the time?

Aging in the upper face can create deep lines, drooping brows, or tension around the eyes that unintentionally signal fatigue or frustration. A brow lift can correct these signs and help reflect how you actually feel.

What is the best age for a brow lift?

Ideal candidates are generally between the ages of 40 and 70, but younger individuals with pronounced forehead creases or inherited traits may also benefit. A consultation with Dr. Nassif is the best way to determine candidacy.

What if I'm uncomfortable with anesthesia?

If you are hesitant about anesthesia, Dr. Nassif can walk you through all available options and help you choose a method that aligns with your comfort level. The endoscopic approach, in particular, often avoids the need for general anesthesia.
