Singer Surgical Centre in La Jolla, San Diego – Brow Lift / Forehead Lift
Indications for Brow Lift / Forehead Lift
As we age, the skin and soft tissue of our brows and forehead tend to droop. The position of the brows and accentuation of the furrows and creases may impart an angry appearance. This includes prominent transverse lines and vertical lines above the nose and between the eyebrows.
While certain frown lines may be corrected temporarily by injecting BOTOX® Cosmetic, a longer lasting improvement can be achieved through surgical procedures such as brow lift or endoscopic brow lift. These procedures can remove excess tissue and diminish contracting muscles that cause forehead creases.

Brow Lift Consultation
When you have a consultation at our office in La Jolla, San Diego, Dr. Singer personally listens to your brow lift desires and expectations, then evaluates your facial anatomy. Dr. Singer can then create a custom treatment plan that best suits your individual needs, improving your forehead appearance and your expectations.

Endoscopic Brow Lift
An endoscopic brow lift, which is minimally invasive, involves making several small incisions in inconspicuous areas on the scalp. An endoscope, a miniature pencil-like camera that is attached to a television monitor, can be inserted through the incisions to view the tissues underneath the skin. Dr. Singer uses the endoscope when appropriate to visualize and modify the muscles and tissue beneath the skin. Results are predictably pleasing and the scars are small, inconspicuous, and hidden in the hairline. However, not everyone is a good candidate for this procedure. Contact our office in La Jolla, San Diego to find out if you are a candidate for endoscopic brow lift surgery.

Traditional Brow Lift
The traditional brow lift, an open approach with incisions behind or occasionally at the hairline, may be indicated in some patients. Incisions for a traditional lift must be individually tailored to accommodate the patient's hairline. During this procedure, forehead size can be either reduced or increased. Once the location has been determined, the necessary incisions can be made. Dr. Singer then lifts the skin and removes and/or repositions excess tissue. The muscles that were causing the forehead to crease can be relaxed. The skin is trimmed and redraped to smooth out major wrinkles and creases. Contact the Singer Surgical Centre in La Jolla, San Diego to learn more about the traditional forehead or brow lift.

Eyelid Approach Brow Lift
In some patients, the central forehead frown lines can be improved through the same incision that is used to remove excess fat and skin from the upper eyelids. The muscles responsible for the frown lines are modified through the eyelid incision while avoiding any scalp incision.
Wrinkled, sagging upper and lower eyelids, drooping brows, and a wrinkled forehead are often interrelated problems resulting in a tired, angry, or sad appearance. There are multiple procedures available to treat these symptoms, and Dr. Singer will advise which procedure, or combination of procedures, is best for you. Contact our office in La Jolla, San Diego to set up a brow lift consultation.
