The Procedure: What to Expect

Dr. Moran performs brow lifts with an endoscopic approach. First, she creates a series of tiny incisions well-hidden within the hairline. She then inserts an endoscope with a tiny video device beneath the skin. Using the video as her guide, she separates the soft tissues and underlying muscle, trims away small portions of the corrugator muscles which are responsible for frown lines, and gently elevates the brow to a more youthful position with sutures.

Once your smooth and refreshed expression has been achieved, she will close the incisions and wrap a bandage around your forehead. Many of our Nashville patients require a brow lift in conjunction with another facial plastic procedure to ensure comprehensive results. In most cases, the additional surgery is a facelift or blepharoplasty.

The majority of our patients recover well enough to return to work and most normal activities in about two to three weeks. During the planning stages of your procedure, Dr. Moran will provide personalized guidance to ensure a swift recovery from your brow lift.
