What Is a Brow Lift?
Surgery to lift the brow (also known as a browplasty) is a popular procedure that helps create a higher brow appearance, which provides a refreshed look to the top section of the face. A drooping brow can oftentimes create an angry or tired appearance. A browplasty surgically improves a sagging brow to give patients a rejuvenated look by removing excess skin while lifting the eyebrows. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ross Bunch has performed brow lifts on both men and women to create a more youthful appearance at Plastic Surgery of Tuscaloosa.

How Is a Brow Lift Performed?
Prior to surgery, anesthesia will be administered. This can be done under IV sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the complexity of the surgery. The incision used during a brow lift is chosen based on the severity of sag, if the forehead is affected, and the position of the hairline. There are many techniques that may be used:
- Traditional Incision: Also known as the open brow lift incision, this places the surgical incision behind the hairline at the top of the head. The traditional incision not only masks scars, it allows a certain amount of controlled lifting throughout the surgery. The open incision is good for those with both frown lines and a sagging brow. This is the ideal technique if you are concerned about a receding hairline.
- Trichophytic Incision: This incision is placed directly against the hairline. A trichophytic incision allows significant lift in the brow for patients who have low risk for hairline recession.
- Lateral Brow Lift: Also known as a temporal brow lift, this technique sets the incision within the hairline just above the temples. It allows the outer sections of the brow to be treated and is best for sagging that is present in the outer brows. The lateral technique also helps to smooth Crow's feet.
- Endoscopic Forehead Lift: The endoscopic lift is a more modern technique employed in browplasty surgery. This method makes several small incisions beyond the hairline and inserts a tool known as an endoscope, which travels to the eyebrow to release its attached tools. Through the endoscope's camera, the brow tissue is suspended using stitches to place the brow in a higher position.
What Are the Benefits of a Brow Lift?
A brow lift offers multiple benefits for those looking to rejuvenate their facial appearance, including:
- Lifts and smooths forehead wrinkles
- Reduces the appearance of frown lines
- Elevates sagging brows for a more youthful look
- Improves the appearance of hooded eyelids
- Enhances overall facial symmetry and expression
Plastic Surgery of Tuscaloosa Reviews
This surgeon is amazing! Very skilled in what he does, very knowledgeable, and his staff is very helpful and very very professional. He was able to get my procedure covered by my medical insurance, which cut his payment down to very little! But you would think I paid $1 million based on the treatment, and the courtesy and concern that all have demonstrated during my procedure and recovery. I traveled from out of state to have this procedure and honestly, I don’t think I would’ve found a greater experience than I found at Plastic Surgery Of Tuscaloosa and Doctor Bunch! He definitely cares about what you care about!!!
Dr. Bunch has proven his self noteworthy with me. He has the ability to transform lives as I know it! I suffer from a metabolic syndrome and even with diet and exercise I would have not been able to alleviate the excessive fat and skin from my body. I lost 65 pounds and due to my apron developing a rash and no relief of cream, it was deemed medically necessary to have the excess skin and fat removed from my abdomen. Dr. Bunch made me feel comfortable and like family. He ensured he would take care of me and he did. I’m truly thankful for his gift of surgery on my body because he truly transformed and addressed the health issues I was dealing with. I hope this encourages anyone who is searching for relief to try him. You have found the right answer you have been looking for!
Dr. Bunch listens to your concerns and is nice. I’ve experienced speaking with another plastic surgeon and he was rude and made me feel worse about myself, but Dr. Bunch is very professional but also helps you realize what your concerns are and makes me feel better about myself and the results I can achieve. I would definitely refer him as your Plastic Surgeon.
