4 Reasons Dr. Sobel Loves Brow Lift Surgery

A brow lift is one of the most unique facial rejuvenation procedures because it can completely transform your appearance but still remain virtually undetectable. Here, triple board-certified cosmetic surgeon (and brow lift expert!) Dr. Alex Sobel shares 4 reasons why brow surgery is a top procedure to enhance your look and turn back time. 

1. Brow lift results are natural

One of the primary reasons Dr. Sobel is passionate about brow lift surgery (often called a forehead lift) is the impact this procedure can have on a patient without looking “overdone.” 

The key to a natural-looking brow lift is subtlety. The best cosmetic procedures are the ones that people can’t quite put their finger on—they just know you look great. Brow lifts, when performed by a highly experienced Bellevue cosmetic surgeon like Dr. Sobel, are particularly effective at delivering these results.

A successful brow lift goes beyond just lifting the forehead to artfully reshape the upper third of the face and restore a younger-looking brow line. 

With this procedure, Dr. Sobel repositions the brow line and removes excess skin to smooth forehead wrinkles to help open the eyes for a more alert, youthful expression. This multifaceted approach ensures that a range of concerns is addressed so there are equal levels of rejuvenation within the upper face.  

2. Brow lifts are highly customizable 

We believe every patient is unique, and Dr. Sobel designs each surgery plan to account for your facial anatomy, skin quality, the results you expect, and more. There are several brow lift techniques that Dr. Sobel uses, such as the endoscopic brow lift, coronal brow lift, and transpalpebral brow lift, each offering different advantages based on patient needs. To hide inevitable brow lift scars, Dr. Sobel thoughtfully places brow lift incisions to both achieve the level of rejuvenation you seek and keep scarring concealed within your hairline—even for brow lift patients with a receding hairline or thin hair. 

“Dr. Sobel and his entire team are exceptional at what they do. Dr. Sobel is understanding, knowledgeable, and listened to my concerns. He’s an expert at his craft. I was impressed with his office staff at how supportive they were. I am so pleased with the outcome. 5 stars!”

Brow lifts for younger patients are becoming more common, and for good reason: the procedure can correct early signs of aging for patients in their 30s and 40s, and it’s not uncommon for patients even younger to opt for a brow lift to raise a naturally heavier brow line that may run in their family to open up their eye area and take a proactive approach to aging. Young celebrities like Bella Hadid, Taylor Swift, and Ariana Grande are thought to have had minimally invasive procedures like a brow lift to enhance their beauty and keep them younger-looking for much longer.

3. Brow lifts require manageable recovery time

One of the standout benefits of brow lift surgery is that you can experience impressive results without a lengthy recovery process. Many of the brow lift techniques Dr. Sobel uses are minimally invasive and require only a few, very short incisions for less downtime than more extensive facial procedures such as a facelift. Most patients can return to their regular activities within about 5 days or so, maybe sooner for those who work from home.  

4. Brow lifts are effective on their own or as part of a surgery plan

As great as a brow lift can be as a standalone procedure, it’s equally beloved as part of a comprehensive facial rejuvenation surgery plan. For example, many patients choose to combine their brow lift with a facelift, eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), fat grafting, or nonsurgical treatments like Botox and fillers (particularly in the temples and above the brow), and Thermage skin tightening to enhance and extend their overall results. For many patients experiencing noticeable signs of aging in the forehead, they have similar concerns in the mid-face and neck area. Combining a brow lift with other targeted procedures helps achieve a harmonious, balanced facial appearance that appears entirely natural.
