What are some non-surgical alternatives to a forehead / brow lift to tighten forehead and raise brows?

Photos, although no substitute for an in-person examination, would have been helpful. In their absence, I can only make a few general comments. For one thing, the use of an injectable volumizing filler in the region of the temples and the eyebrows--an advanced injection technique that should only be performed by experienced injectors--can help to not only tighten lift the brows and create a more feminine appearance. Moreover, their use, in boluses, in specific locations along the border between the hairline and the forehead, can give the kind of lift and tightening of the forehead you sound like you are looking for without the investment of time, money and downtime engendered by a surgical browlift. Both procedures should take no more than about fifteen to twenty minutes to perform in experienced hands and the results are typically immediate and engender that extremely gratifying (to both doctor and patient) immediate "Wow!" reaction. Make sure that you consult with a board certified aesthetic physician. Best of luck. 

Morpheus 8 is a non-invasive skin and soft tissue tightening treatment that is consistently amazing in our patients. We use the Morpheus to exact fractional induced RF into the skin or tissue in order to tighten collagen and stimulate contraction of the tissue. For acne scars, it is quite useful to build collagen in patients who have atrophic scars but is not very productive for ice-pick scars which require TCA Cross. For tissue tightening, Morpheus is ideal for the face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Ultherapy to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity. Avoid exfoliating skin treatments before Morpheus and expect a period of 2-4 weeks for skin contraction to set in.

Based on what you are describing, I thought you might be interested in learning about a case study from my practice at the Dr.U Hair and Skin Clinics in Los Angeles. Like you, this female patient was interested in tightening the forehead area and raising her eyebrows which have started to sag. Since she wanted to achieve her objectives without surgery, we decided to use Botox. By appropriately relaxing the muscles responsible for her sagging forehead we were able to create a natural looking, tighter appearance. As you can probably see from this example, raising the eyebrows was also possible for this individual. This requires targeting a very different set of muscles from the ones treated in the forehead area. For the eyebrows, we relax just one of the muscles within a pair in order to activate and lift the other set which then raises the tail end of the sagging brows.

Whenever loose, sagging skin is present, there are not too many options outside of actually removing excess skin. In the forehead area, threads really don’t work, and Botox may make your brows sag even more. Pictures of your brow would have been helpful to provide more specific advice. Brow lifts can be done under local anesthesia, thus making them less expensive than you might expect. Consult with a facial specialist and discuss your concerns. Good luck!

As we age, the face naturally loses volume, specifically in areas like the temples and brow area. Soft tissue fillers like Radiesse are great for lifting the brow, filling out the temples, and making the face appear more youthful. Sculptra is an alternative. I suggest getting a formal consultation with a cosmetic dermatologist and facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Hello, you want to lift your eyebrows, open up the area around your eyes, and tighten your forehead. To achieve these, you can benefit from treatments that enhance your skin quality, tighten your face, and provide a non-surgical facelift. Thermage FLX represents the pinnacle of advanced technology in this regard. If you desire high-quality and firm skin, I recommend opting for Thermage FLX without hesitation. I am confident that you will be very satisfied. For lifting your eyebrows even further, you can consider the Infinity lift, which acts as a brow thread lift. When applied to the corners of the eyebrows, the Infinity lift stays in place indefinitely and is virtually unnoticeable. While you could opt for an endoscopic facelift as a surgical option, surgeries do not impact your skin quality. Therefore, considering surgery as the last option would be more appropriate.

An in person evaluation is needed to know for sure, but you may be a candidate for FaceTite. This minimally invasive procedure uses RF technology to tighten the skin. This can be combined with Botox for a lifted look to the brows. See an expert provider near you to learn more.

There is a new terrific option for sagging skin on the forehead and eyebrow area. The new RF (radiofrequency) technology that heats the dermal layer creates an immediate brow lift and forehead tightening with one treatment, and can be done once a week until there is a lasting effect. I recommend a series with the Forma wand or the Morpheus 8 hand piece and see fantastic results. Because skin laxity and sagging are caused mostly by loss of the collagen and the ordered structure in the dermis, tightening occurs when thermal disruption of the aged scaffolding stimulates new collagen formation and fibroblast contraction. I hope this was helpful. My best, Dr B

Botulinum toxins would be a great way to  help with the problem you are having.  Do not get discouraged with laser resurfacing. The technology has gotten to be much more advanced and the lasers we have today allow for excellent tightening and minimal downtime.  

The Secret, with micro-needling combined with radiofrequency, does a good job of improving the texture of the skin with tightening. There is very minimal downtime with some redness for 1 to 2 days. It is 3 treatments done 4 to 6 weeks apart. As you age, it can be boosted.
