Brow Lift Techniques
When considering a brow lift, there are different techniques used, depending on the patient’s anatomy and specific concerns. These options include the traditional brow lift, the endoscopic brow lift, and the lateral temporal brow lift, catering to a range of aesthetic goals and recovery preferences.
Endoscopic Brow Lift
The endoscopic brow lift is a minimally invasive technique, with small incisions made hidden within the hairline. An endoscope, a thin tube with a camera on the end, is inserted through these incisions, providing Dr. Wong with a clear view of the underlying muscles and tissues.
The muscles and tissues around the brows are then released and modified to create a more youthful and stress-free appearance. This method results in minimal scarring and a shorter recovery period compared to the traditional technique.
Temporal Brow Lift
A temporal eyebrow lift, also known as a lateral eyebrow lift, is a specific type of eyebrow lift surgery that targets the outer part of the eyebrows and the corners of the eyes. This surgical procedure is often chosen by patients who wish to address drooping eyebrows and sagging skin in the upper eyelid area, which can contribute to a tired or aged appearance.
Trichophytic or Pretrichial Brow Lift
A tricophytic or pretrichial brow lift, also known as a trichophytic or hairline brow lift, is a surgical procedure designed to elevate and rejuvenate the brows by adjusting the position of the hairline. This technique is particularly effective for individuals with a high hairline or those experiencing brow ptosis (drooping eyebrows) due to aging or genetic factors.
During a tricophytic brow lift, an incision along the patient's hairline, typically within the natural hairline or slightly behind it. The unique feature of the tricophytic technique is the precise placement of the incision at the hairline, allowing hair follicles to grow through and conceal the scar, resulting in a nearly invisible scar after healing.
Traditional Brow Lift (Coronal Brow Lift)
The traditional brow lift, also known as an open brow lift, involves a long incision across the forehead, either around the hairline or in one of the creases. Excess skin is removed, and the remaining skin and tissues are lifted, resulting in a smoother forehead and elevated eyebrows. This technique may cause more swelling and numbness, but it allows for a significant lift and is ideal for patients with a lot of excess skin or deep forehead wrinkles. While it provides for excellent surgical exposure, it is not commonly performed today and have been replaced with more minimally invasive techniques.

Recovering from a Brow Lift Surgery
Recovering from a brow lift surgery involves several stages and varies from patient to patient. Immediately following the brow lift procedure, you may experience some bruising and swelling in the forehead region. This is a normal part of the healing process and should subside within a few weeks. Dr. Anni Wong may recommend cold compresses and keeping your head elevated, especially during sleep, to manage discomfort and reduce swelling.
During the initial recovery period, it’s important to avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activities. You should also follow Dr. Wong’s post-operative instructions meticulously, which may include taking prescribed medications, caring for the surgical site, and attending follow-up appointments. These measures are essential to prevent complications such as blood clots and ensure optimal healing.
Within 7 to 10 days, most patients can return to work and resume normal activities. However, full recovery from a brow lift surgery may take several weeks. Dr. Wong will monitor your progress during follow-up appointments to ensure proper healing and the best results.
