WHO IS A CANDIDATE?

Brow lift candidates should:

Be in good overall health
Want to reduce lines or wrinkles around the brows, forehead, or the bridge of your nose
Have no diseases or conditions that might impair your ability to heal or recover
Not take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for several weeks before your brow lift

Dr. Metzinger will conduct an exam and go over your medical history to determine if you are eligible for a brow lift.

TYPES OF BROW LIFTS

During a brow lift, Dr. Metzinger will make an incision so that he can address your underlying facial tissues, tightening them before pulling your skin so that it is smooth. Next, he will trim away any excess skin. He will then suture this incision for lasting effects. Dr. Metzinger usually performs one of three types of brow lifts for his patients:

Endoscopic: During this procedure, Dr. Metzinger will make small incisions around your scalp, through which he will insert a computer-controlled viewing device called an endoscope, as well as surgical instruments to modify your facial tissue. He often uses Endotine® technology during an endoscopic brow lift. The Endotine® device is a small, biocompatible piece of plastic that holds the brow in proper place and gradually dissolves over the next six months as the tissue heals. The effects of a minimally invasive endoscopic brow lift can last for seven years or more.
Trichophytic: This type of brow lift involves a modified coronal incision. Rather than a straight line, Dr. Metzinger will make a wavy incision along the hairline, pulling excess skin and tissue from the forehead rather than the hair-bearing skin. Many patients appreciate this surgical technique because it does not raise the hairline, and provides long-lasting results.
Lateral (Mini): If you have mild to moderate sagging or wrinkling in your brow, Dr. Metzinger can perform a lateral, or mini, brow lift, making a shorter incision across your forehead to more subtly lift your skin and balance your facial proportions.

During your consultation, Dr. Metzinger will discuss the benefits and disadvantages of each technique with you so you can decide which you would like to pursue.
