Brow Lift Oklahoma City
If you are bothered by expression lines or other signs of aging in the brow region, it may be time to consider a brow lift—Oklahoma City residents turn to Dr. Tim Love to help rejuvenate their brow line and give them back a youthful appearance.
There are four basic tools that may be used alone or in conjunction with a brow lift to achieve optimum results from the brow surgery:
- Lifting
- Resurfacing
- Botox/Xeomin and Injectable Fillers
- Skincare
Brow lift surgery can:
- Brow lift surgery can minimize the creases that develop across the forehead or those that occur high on the bridge of the nose (between the eyes).
- Brow lift surgery can improve what are commonly referred to as frown lines (vertical creases that develop between the eyebrows).
- Brow lift surgery can reposition a low or sagging brow that is hooding the upper eyelid.
- Brow lift surgery can raise the eyebrows to a more alert and youthful position.
Other procedures often performed in conjunction with a brow lift are eyelid surgery, facelift and Fraxell Dual facial resurfacing. In addition to the brow lift procedure, Oklahoma City residents can also receive these other services from Oklahoma plastic surgeon Dr. Tim Love.

The Brow Lift Surgery
Step 1 – Anesthesia
Anesthesia will be administered by a board-certified M.D. anesthesiologist.
Step 2 – The Incision
A brow lift may sometimes be performed using an endoscope (surgical video device) and special instruments placed through small incisions made within the hairline. This allows the tissue and muscle beneath the skin to be repositioned, altered or removed, correcting the source of visible creases and furrows in the forehead.
Correction of a low-positioned or sagging brow may be made with or without the use of an endoscope through incisions at the temples and in the scalp. This technique may be done in conjunction with incisions hidden within the natural crease of the upper eyelids to eliminate frown lines between the brows, on or above the bridge of the nose.
An alternative brow lift technique is the coronal brow lift. This approach can pinpoint specific regions of the brow to correct. It involves an excision from ear to ear, lifting the forehead and removing excess skin from the scalp.
The incision lines from a brow lift are well-concealed within the hair or natural contours of the face unless they are placed at the hairline or shorten the forehead. Results appear gradually as swelling and bruising subside to reveal smoother forehead skin and a more youthful, restful appearance.
Step 3 – Closing the Incisions
Brow lift incisions are typically closed with removable or absorbable sutures.
Step 4 – See the Results
The visible improvements of a brow lift appear as swelling and bruising subside. Your final result should not only restore a more youthful and rested appearance, but also help you feel more confident about yourself.
Initial wound healing may take 5 to 10 days, at which time any sutures or clips will be removed. You will be ready to return to work and normal activities at this time. Cosmetics can camouflage any bruising that remains. Healing will continue for several weeks as the swelling dissipates and incision lines refine and fade. It may take several months for complete recovery.
Life-long sun protection will help maintain your rejuvenated appearance by minimizing photo-aging or sun damage. In addition, a healthy lifestyle will also help extend the results of your rejuvenated, more youthful appearance.
