For those seeking a non-surgical option, Dysport and Botox offer temporary brow-lifting solutions.
What is a Botox Brow Lift?
A Botox brow lift uses carefully placed injections of Botox or Dysport to relax specific muscles around the brow, allowing it to lift subtly. This treatment also smooths fine lines on the forehead and around the eyes, providing a refreshed appearance. Results last about 3-4 months and require regular maintenance to sustain the effect.
While Botox and Dysport are effective for mild lifting, a temporal brow lift provides more dramatic and longer-lasting results.
ALTERNATIVES
Pair your temporal brow lift with these complementary treatments for a fully rejuvenated appearance:
Upper Blepharoplasty: Remove excess skin and fat from the upper eyelids to enhance your refreshed look.
Lower Blepharoplasty: Address under-eye bags and puffiness for a harmonious rejuvenation.
Combining these services ensures a balanced and naturally youthful transformation.
COMPLEMENTARY
A temporal brow lift offers subtle but significant results, enhancing the outer brows and opening up the eye area. You’ll notice a naturally refreshed appearance with smoother lines and a lifted, youthful expression. While the results are long-lasting, the natural aging process will continue. A good skincare routine and healthy lifestyle will help maintain your look for years to come.
RESULTS
Recovery from a temporal brow lift is typically quick and manageable:
First Few Days: Expect mild swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed medications and cold compresses.
1-2 Weeks: Most patients feel ready to return to work and daily activities within 10-14 days.
2-3 Months: Final results become apparent as swelling subsides.
6 Months: Scars fade, and the full benefits of your rejuvenated look are visible.
Dr. Schwarcz and his team will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.
RECOVERY
A temporal brow lift is performed in our Manhattan office’s JCAHO-certified surgical suite under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. The procedure typically takes about 1-1.5 hours.
Here’s what to expect during the process:
Before Surgery: Dr. Schwarcz will mark the treatment area and review the surgical plan.
During Surgery: Small incisions are made within the hairline above the temples. Tissue is repositioned, and the brows are secured in a higher, more youthful position.
After Surgery: You’ll rest in our recovery area before being discharged to go home the same day.
The minimally invasive approach minimizes visible scarring and allows for faster recovery.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Planning for a temporal brow lift involves careful preparation to ensure the best results. Key steps include:
Timing: Schedule your surgery at least 2-3 months before major events for complete healing.
Time Off: Plan for 1-2 weeks of downtime to recover comfortably.
Lifestyle Adjustments: Quit smoking and minimize alcohol consumption to support healing.
Medications: Avoid blood thinners, aspirin, and supplements like vitamin E for two weeks before surgery.
Support: Arrange for transportation and post-surgical assistance for the first 24 hours.
Dr. Schwarcz will provide you with a tailored pre-operative plan to meet your needs.
PLANNING
A temporal brow lift may not be suitable for:
Individuals with significant medical conditions such as uncontrolled hypertension or diabetes.
Those with unrealistic expectations about the results.
Patients with excessively thin or receding hairlines where incision placement may be challenging.
Individuals prone to poor wound healing or keloid scarring.
Dr. Schwarcz will determine if a temporal brow lift is the right option for you during your consultation.
NOT CANDIDATES
You may be an excellent candidate for a temporal brow lift in New York City if you:
Have drooping outer brows that create a tired or aged expression.
Notice fine lines and wrinkles at the outer corners of your eyes.
Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations.
Desire a subtle, refreshed look without altering the central brow position.
This procedure is ideal for individuals seeking a natural-looking rejuvenation of the upper face.
CANDIDATES
A temporal brow lift surgery is a targeted surgical technique that focuses on lifting the outer third of the brows. Unlike a full brow lift, this procedure addresses concerns like sagging in the temples, crow’s feet, and drooping lateral brows, leaving the central brow untouched. Small incisions are made within the hairline, ensuring discreet scarring. By carefully repositioning the underlying tissue and securing the brows at a higher position, Dr. Schwarcz creates a refreshed and balanced appearance.
The result? Subtle, natural-looking enhancement that brightens the eyes and softens the expression, without the “pulled” look of outdated techniques.
THE PROCEDURE
A temporal brow lift, also known as a lateral brow lift, is a surgical procedure designed to elevate the outer portion of the eyebrows, creating a softer, more youthful expression. This minimally invasive approach focuses on improving sagging brows, smoothing fine lines at the outer eyes, and opening up the upper face. Dr. Robert Schwarcz, a double board certified oculofacial plastic surgeon in NYC, performs this surgery in our Manhattan office’s JCAHO-certified surgical suite, ensuring precision and safety. Consultations and follow-ups are available in both Manhattan, NY, and Rye, NY offices. If you’re searching for a temporal brow lift in NYC, you’ll benefit from Dr. Schwarcz’s expertise and his natural-looking results.
