Can a brow lift raise the medial brow?

A brow lift is a good permanent solution to resolving your “angry” look. By lifting the muscles that are dragging down your brows, that should alleviate some of the tension you feel as well. Depending on your anatomy, you may need some Botox, too, to break the muscle's habit of contracting. I hope this helps.

Hello and thank you for your question. A formal evaluation would be needed to determine the best treatment. There are both surgical and non-surgical options to correct this, depending on your exact situation.

For less significant issues, there are nonsurgical treatments: To give the eyebrows a nice lift, we use injectable fillers to improve the eyebrow, upper eye, forehead and temple. A filler is placed on the bone and in the fat pads of these areas to contour and lift without it looking overdone. We use cannulas to limit pain and swelling.

Surgery (browlift and/or upper blepharoplasty) is a great option for more significant improvement- for example if there is more substantial eyebrow drooping. I suggest getting a consultation with an experienced cosmetic dermatologist and facial sculpting expert, or an aesthetic facial plastic surgeon like Dr. Donald Groves; we are both located right here in Los Angeles.

Best,
Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question. A brow lift will lessen the creases that have developed on your forehead that make you look angry. These wrinkles are high up on the bridge of the nose and are often called frown lines. I suggest you consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon to discuss brow lifts. Best wishes,

Dear Mernada911A brow lift can re-position your eyebrows. AN open brow lift can lift your medial brows by 10mm if needed. During the procedure, your corrugator muscles can be de-bulked and that can help the angry look. Although you will have return of some motion, it will be less intense and the brows will sit higher. The type of brow lift will be based on your anatomy and goals. Look for an experienced and properly trained Plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. See more than one consult and make a well informed decision.

Browlift to raise the medial brow. yes this will eliminate your angry look. If your hairline is low=endoscopic Browlift. If high hairline=Irregular Trichophytic Forehead Lift done at hairline so not to raise hairline. This is a procedure we invented and make sure u see a very experienced surgeon who can show u examples of his hairline results No scar should be seen as hair grows thru the scar. 

There are numerous surgical approaches that can be taken to lift the brows, and with these different approaches any portion of the brow can be lifted. Which approach is right for you is going to be based on your sex, individual needs, anatomy, and the way that you have aged.

To ensure you are receiving the highest level of care, seek out a modernly trained, new-school dermatologic surgeon, oculoplastic surgeon, facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon who is board certified and fellowship trained in one of these "core four" cosmetic specialties.

A brow lift can raise the medial brow.  There are a number of different methods that a brow lift can be performed, and some of these may be more able to raise the medial brow than others.  The amount the brow is raised and where it is raised is really determined by the surgeon.  It is the surgeon's discretion as to where to position the brow to make it look best.      

A brow lift can definitely lift the medial brow.  The reason you see mostly lateral or outer brows being lifted is because that part of the brow tends to droop more in most people.  On occasion, someone (such as yourself) will present with medial brow droop and require more elevation medially.  The amount of elevation depends on how droopy the brow is and can range up to 5-6 mm with aggressive lifting.  Good luck on your search!

An experienced surgeon should be able to perform a brow lift that will emphasize the medial brow, lateral brow or both as desired. With proper technique as high an elevation as desired should be obtained.

The short answer is yes a brow lift can raise the medial brow. When performing  a brow lift, there are several parameters that must be taken into account, which include the level of the eyebrows, the asymmetry of the eyebrows, the level of the medial and lateral eyebrow, the height of the forehead, and the strength of the corrugator and frontalis muscles creating wrinkles on the forehead. Dividing and softening the  corrugator muscles between the eyebrows will help lift the medial brow in addition to skin removal at the medial part of the incision.
