Forehead Rejuvenation in Thousand Oaks

Conveniently located to serve the areas of Thousand Oaks, Westlake Village, Calabasas, Malibu, Agoura Hills and Camarillo

A transblepharoplasty brow lift is a surgical procedure that can effectively correct brow drooping via the eyelid tissues for a smoother, rejuvenated upper face aesthetic.

Also known as a forehead lift, or forehead rejuvenation, a brow lift surgery can restore a more youthful appearance in patients who are not looking to commit to full facelift surgery. Additionally, the transblepharoplasty brow lift (through the eyelid) aspect of the surgery creates more natural results that avoid the “pulled look” or “surprised look” that deters many patients from having a brow lift.

Additional Reading

Medical literature describes drooping of the brow, or “ptosis” as it is known in the plastic surgery field, as an abnormal descent of the brow from its anatomical position. This drooping is to the point that the patient becomes uncomfortable with the brow's appearance or the patient develops visual field difficulties. ⁽¹⁾ Dr. Kouros Azar is a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon in Southern California who can help you rejuvenate your face!

Fight Signs of Aging

Signs of aging can affect our appearance in multiple ways. Unfortunately, one of the first telling places they appear is in our faces. Thankfully, whether it's prominent jowls and marionette lines in the lower face, cheeks that have lost volume, or sagging and lines, there are locally available surgical procedures to improve how we look!

What Causes Brow Ptosis?

Although brow ptosis is sometimes hereditary, usually cases are acquired, the reasons for which are outlined below.

Age-related skin laxity and muscle inadequacy
Traumatic damage to upper facial nerves
Myogenic (myasthenia gravis, myotonic dystrophy, etc.)
Spasm-induced (blepharospasm, facial dystonia)
Infectious (Ramsay Hunt syndrome etc.)
Neoplastic (abnormal skin masses called neoplasms)
Iatrogenic (postoperative results of previous surgeries)⁽¹⁾

Types of Brow Lift

According to recent data, around 18 million people undergo surgical and minimally invasive cosmetic procedures in the United States each year. ⁽²⁾Given their increasing popularity, surgeons have developed and adapted a variety of different brow lift techniques to suit the needs of patients. These include:

Temporal Brow Lift – A less extensive brow lift procedure that targets the outer third of the eyebrows. This type of lift helps reverse lateral brow drooping.
Transblepharoplasty Brow Lift – The Transblepharoplasty brow lift is a modification of the temporal brow lift. It is also known as a trans-bleph brow lift or browpexy, and is a less drastic surgical choice for patients who want to solve the problems of sagging skin in their upper face.
Browpexy - Performed in conjunction with upper blepharoplasty, this is the simpliest suture technique to conservatively lift the eyebrows

After your treatment, Thousand Oaks brow lift provider, Dr. Azar will give you further information about how to care for the surgical site, your medication dosage and frequency, and when to follow up with him to not only have your sutures removed, but also ensure you are recovering as expected.⁽⁴⁾

Personal Consultation

A personal consultation is a chance for you and Dr. Azar to discuss the details of your treatment. He will begin by asking for a short medical history, including the medications you are currently prescribed. After this, he will visually examine your face and may test your skin elasticity and flexibility. You will be able to outline your expectations for your brow lift and ask any questions you may have about the procedure, your recovery, and your final results. Give us a thumbs up on Facebook, and like and follow our Instagram to stay informed about our surgical procedures, med spa treatments and seasonal specials!

Brow Lift Procedure

Dr. Azar performs the transblepharoplasty brow lift via the same incisions as an upper eyelid blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery). Once he makes these incisions, he carefully shapes the eyebrow tissues and lifts them into an anatomically suitable position.⁽³⁾ The eyebrow tissue is then secured to the bone using a specialized fixation device known as an endotine for secure anchoring. Additionally, Dr. Azar may also adjust or remove sub-brow fat and excess skin where necessary to restore your naturally unique features, and create a smooth upper eye area. Any evidence of the incision after healing will be concealed in the upper eyelid crease.

Brow Lift Frequently Asked Questions

Is A Brow Lift The Same As A Facelift?

A brow lift is a less complex, shorter procedure than a standard facelift. The brow lift was designed to improve ptosis (sagging) and skin laxity in the upper face near the eyes and forehead, rather than the “all over” cosmetic transformation of a facelift.

How Do I Treat My Sagging Facial Skin?

There are numerous ways to counter the aesthetic appearance of sagging skin on the face. Depending on your individual circumstances, you may opt for non-surgical treatments such as dermal fillers or neuromodulators (such as Botox), or for more long-lasting results, you could consider a brow lift, midface lift, or full facelift to eliminate skin sagging and restore your youthful looks.

How Much Downtime Is There For A Brow Lift Surgery?

Brow Lift recovery will vary depending on the type of procedure you have and your response to treatment. Most brow lift patients find that initial healing of the wound happens after around two weeks, after which, you will be able to resume your regular schedule. You should discuss your treatment goals and what to expect from your recovery period with your surgeon before your procedure date.
