A smooth, un-furrowed, brow not only gives the appearance of youth, it also evokes a calm demeanor and sense of confidence. Brow and forehead lifts are designed to raise eyebrows and reduce ridges and furrows on the forehead, thus creating a smoother, younger, more vital appearance.
Dr. Schafer offers two options for brow and forehead lifts: the classic coronal lift and an endoscopic brow lift. From the two options for surgery, to fine incisions and small sutures, and the use of safer alternative anesthesia for rapid recovery, your brow and forehead lift surgery will be top-quality and efficient.

About Brow and Forehead Lift:
- There are 2 procedural options for brow and forehead lift surgery:
- A Classic Coronal is achieved by making an incision across the top of the head from the front of one ear to the other. This incision is made deep within the frontal hairline in order to hide the resulting scar. The forehead and brows are elevated and excess skin is removed. The flap is then sutured.
- An Endoscopic Brow Lift may benefit some patients. The endoscope is inserted into smaller incisions in the hairline to elevate the brows.
- Fine incisions and small sutures leave virtually invisible scars.
- A Brow and Forehead lift is designed to:
- Raise the eyebrows
- Reduce ridges and furrows on the forehead
- Create a smooth, more youthful appearance
- For maximum results, sometimes brow and forehead lifts are done in conjunction with other surgical procedures including a Weekend Recovery Lazer-Lift® and blepharoplasty.
