Tailored Technique, Trusted Results
Brow Lift Surgery
Brow lift surgery is a customizable plastic surgery procedure that can be performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation, depending on your needs and the surgical plan. Dr. Godek selects the technique based on your facial anatomy, skin condition, and aesthetic goals. Each approach has distinct advantages, and all are performed with precision to minimize visible scarring and support natural-looking results.
Endoscopic Brow Lift
The endoscopic brow lift is a minimally invasive procedure that uses small incisions hidden within the hairline. Through these tiny incisions, Dr. Godek inserts an endoscope—a thin tube with a camera and light—to visualize and reposition the underlying facial muscles and tissue. This technique lifts the brows, reduces frown lines, and smooths the forehead with less trauma to the surrounding tissue, which generally means a faster recovery and reduced swelling.
Coronal Brow Lift
A coronal brow lift—also referred to as a traditional brow lift—involves a longer incision made across the top of the scalp, usually behind the hairline. It allows for a more comprehensive lift and is often recommended for patients with significant sagging, deep forehead wrinkles, or thicker skin that may not respond as well to endoscopic techniques. This approach gives the surgeon direct access to the forehead muscles and soft tissue, allowing for significant repositioning and smoothing of deep lines.
Temporal Brow Lift
The temporal brow lift, sometimes called a lateral brow lift, focuses specifically on lifting the outer portion of the brow. This technique is ideal for patients with a tired or heavy appearance around the outer eyes but minimal central forehead sagging. Incisions are discreetly placed at the temples within the hairline, allowing Dr. Godek to subtly elevate the brows and reduce excess skin without altering the full brow shape.
Each brow lift technique is tailored to your unique facial structure and expression. The goal is always the same: to reposition the brows in a way that restores a rested, lifted look—without ever appearing pulled or overdone.
