Contact UsWhat is a Brow Lift?
A surgical brow lift (sometimes known as a forehead lift or browplasty) is a popular cosmetic treatment that helps create a higher brow appearance, which offers a more youthful look to the upper section of the face. A sagging brow can often create an angry or tired appearance. A browplasty surgically corrects a sagging brow to create a refreshed face by removing excess skin while lifting the eyebrows. Dr. Mark W. Stalder is a plastic surgeon in New Orleans, LA who has completed brow lifts on men and women to give them a more youthful look. Dermal fillers and BOTOX® are often used in combination with a brow lift at Stalder Plastic Surgery for ideal results, producing a softer and smoother appearance.
How Does a Brow Lift Work?
Prior to the procedure, anesthesia will be administered. This may be done through IV sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the nature of the procedure. The incision technique performed during a browplasty is chosen based on the degree of skin sag if the forehead is addressed and the position of the hairline. Some of the many techniques that may be used include:
- Traditional Incision
Also known as the open browplasty incision, this puts the surgical incision behind the hairline at the top of the head. The open incision not only conceals scars but also allows a certain degree of controlled lifting during the surgery. The open incision works well for those with both frown lines and a sagging brow. This is the better incision for patients who are at risk of having a receding hairline. - Trichophytic Incision
This incision is placed right along the patient's hairline. A trichophytic incision permits significant brow lifting for patients with a strong hairline with little risk for recession. - Lateral Brow Lift
This technique, also called a temporal brow lift, starts the incision within the hairline just over the temples. A temporal incision permits the outer parts of the brow to be raised and works well for sagging that is present in the outer brow. It also helps to smooth Crow’s feet. - Endoscopic Forehead Lift
The endoscopic lift is a more modern method used in browplasty surgery. This method makes several tiny incisions beyond the hairline and inserts the endoscope, which travels down to the area of the eyebrow to release its attached tools. Through the endoscope's camera, the brow tissue is suspended using stitches to lift the brow to a higher position.
The recovery period after brow lift surgery varies with more discomfort and swelling reported with the open technique compared to the endoscopic or temporal methods. In general, patients feel some swelling and bruising in the upper face around the brows and possibly around the eyes. Cold compresses may help to decrease inflammation. Dr. Stalder recommends patients sleep with pillows propped under their head for 3 – 4 nights following their surgery. It is important to avoid any movement or activities that can place stress on the face. The average recovery time from this procedure is about 2 – 3 weeks. The outcome can often be seen immediately, resulting in a rejuvenated appearance that seems more alert and softer and with a visible reduction in sagging skin and fine lines in the upper face.

Dr. Mark Stalder is an exceptional plastic surgeon, and my experience with his office came during a particularly challenging time in my life.

When I decided to treat myself to a mastopexy for my 50th birthday, I asked some nurse friends who they recommended for a plastic surgeon. They both said they love and trust Dr Stalder and his team. His patients recover well, love their results, and have so much gratitude for Dr Stalder and his team. I am now among them!Without any pressure, Dr Stalder educated me about fat grafting to also add volume. I chose that option instead of mastopexy alone. I knew I’d love my results, but I didn’t fully appreciate how much of a perfectionist Dr Stalder is. He exceeded my expectations!Recovery was easy, results are beautiful, and I take every opportunity to refer people to Dr Stalder, so they can also have the best possible experience.
I had a great experience with Dr. Stalder and his team. He was very kind, informative, and made me feel comfortable throughout the process. The staff (Jess) is friendly and welcoming, and Abby, the PA, was excellent as well. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
