Brow Lift (Forehead Lift) in Oakville, Ontario

A brow lift addresses deep facial lines and frown wrinkles by tightening loose skin on the forehead and raising the eyebrows. The surgeon removes or repositions the underlying tissues in this area to create a smoother forehead.

The procedure also reduces vertical frown lines between the eyebrows. The treatment can help create a more relaxed, well-rested look that reflects how you actually feel.

A brow lift surgery offers noticeable yet natural-looking improvements to the forehead. Patients often choose this procedure to:

• Renew the facial expression: Lifts heavy or drooping brows that can make you look tired or stern
• Restore symmetry: Corrects uneven brows and softens deep furrows between them
• Achieve long-lasting results: Lasts eight to 12 years, depending on the brow lift technique, much longer than Botox or other cosmetic treatments
• Enhance the eyes: Minimises hooding over the upper lids and creates a brighter, more refreshed appearance

In some cases, patients may pair a brow lift procedure with blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) or a facelift. When you come in for your initial consultation, Dr. Khanna can discuss a brow lift vs. blepharoplasty and other procedures.

With different types of brow lifts available, it’s important to choose the procedure that will best meet your goals. Dr. Khanna will take the time to review your unique anatomy and recommend one or more procedures to address your concerns. We can also review brow lift before and after results of Oakville patients to get an idea of your expected outcomes.

Endoscopic Brow Lift in Oakville

An endoscopic brow lift uses a tiny camera and several small incisions hidden within the hairline. The surgeon views the underlying muscles and tissues, then lifts and secures the brow tissues with precision.

This method is less invasive than traditional techniques, with minimal scarring and a quicker recovery. It’s ideal for addressing droopy eyebrows and improving the appearance of deep wrinkles.

Temporal (Lateral) Brow Lift in Oakville

The temporal brow lift, also known as a lateral or mini brow lift, focuses on the outer portion of the brows. It’s a good option to correct sagging, crow’s feet, or downturned eyes. It’s also minimally invasive with quicker recovery times.

To perform a temporal lift, the surgeon makes small incisions, typically hidden in the hairline at the temples. She then gently elevates and secures the skin and underlying tissues of the outer brows. Patients may also choose to combine a temporal lift with upper eyelid surgery.

Coronal (Traditional) Brow Lift

A coronal brow lift involves a longer incision across the hairline from ear to ear. The surgeon lifts and separates the skin and underlying tissue from the skull, removes excess skin, and repositions and secures the remaining tissue.

Our surgeon seldom uses this technique because she can usually use a less invasive procedure. However, in some cases, a coronal brow lift may be advisable to achieve a patient’s desired results.

Every patient begins with a brow lift consultation at our Oakville clinic. Dr. Khanna will go over your health history, examine your facial structure, and recommend the best approach for your situation.

On the day of surgery:

• You can expect to receive local or general anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
• The surgeon will make small, discreet incisions behind the hairline or at the temples, depending on the technique.
• The surgeon will then lift and reposition the tissues, securing them in their new spot to raise the brows and smooth the skin.

A brow lift usually takes one to three hours. Most patients go home the same day and can return to work within a week or two, depending on the procedure type.

Mild swelling, bruising, and discomfort are normal after a forehead lift. Here’s what to expect after the procedure.

• Week one: Keep your head elevated, and apply cold compresses as directed. Avoid heavy exercise and other strenuous activities.
• Weeks two to three: As the area heals, you may feel mild tightness or itching, which diminishes over time. You may begin light exercise, like walking.
• Weeks four to six: Bruising and swelling should fade and incisions heal. Resume exercise and most other day-to-day activities.

Follow the detailed aftercare instructions from our team to support a hassle-free recovery from a surgical brow lift in Toronto, Oakville, and beyond.

Your refreshed look will become more noticeable as bruising and swelling subside. Most patients see early results within two weeks, with final outcomes visible after a few months.

A surgical brow lift can last eight to 12 years, depending on factors like skin quality and sun exposure. Occasional Botox touch-ups or other cosmetic treatments can help maintain your youthful look.
