Understanding Brow Lift Surgery

As individuals age, the eyebrows and forehead tend to descend, creating a facial expression that appears permanently tired and angry. Dr. Schwartz may recommend a brow lift to return the skin above the eyes to its original, elevated position, restoring a more refreshed overall appearance.

What Can a Brow Lift Correct?

When performed by an expert plastic surgeon like Dr. Schwartz, a brow lift can successfully:

  • Elevate a sagging, aging brow to allow a more open upper part of the face
  • Smooth forehead wrinkles, frown lines, and furrows
  • Restore a smoother and more youthful facial appearance
  • Ensure that your facial expression no longer appears permanently angry, worried, or tired

Brow Lift Surgical Approach

To prepare for a brow lift, Dr. Schwartz will thoroughly explain what you can expect during an initial consultation. He will carefully evaluate your unique needs and recommend an optimal treatment approach.

Most contemporary brow lifts are performed through limited or temporal incisions. These small incisions near or in the hairline are strategically placed to be well-hidden and allow excellent movement of the outer third of the eyebrow – the key area for creating a more youthful, elegant appearance.

Candidacy for Brow Lift

Dr. Schwartz determines candidacy on an individual basis. Generally, suitable candidates include men and women experiencing:

  • Sagging brow
  • Deep forehead wrinkles
  • Facial aging that makes them appear older

Candidates should be in good overall health and possess realistic expectations. The procedure aims to refresh your appearance while maintaining your unique facial characteristics.

Recovery Expectations

A brow lift involves a substantial recovery period. Patients can expect temporary swelling, pain, and bruising, which can be managed with prescribed pain medication. Recovery guidelines typically include:

  • Elevating the head
  • Applying ice to reduce swelling
  • Avoiding strenuous physical activity

Most patients resume normal daily activities within one to two weeks.

The doctor is great but this review is regarding the front desk staff. While sitting in the waiting room for a consult, not only were the front desk girl rude and short with me. They were shouting across the room to each other talking poorly about Dr.!!!! As a business owner myself I would like to know how the front desk staff represents the reputation of a well known doc in the area. I was horrified to hear these things being said in front of me. Doc, get all new front desk girls. They are all hurting your business and your pristine reputation

I recently had a tummy tuck performed by Dr. Schwartz, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the results. From the initial consultation to the post-operative care, Dr. Schwartz and his team demonstrated unparalleled professionalism and expertise. Dr. Schwartz took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure, address all my concerns, and set realistic expectations. His meticulous attention to detail and artistic approach ensured that the outcome exceeded my expectations. The entire process was smooth, and I felt well cared for at every stage. The results are simply amazing – my abdomen looks flat and toned, and the scarring is minimal and well-hidden. Dr. Schwartz's skill and dedication to patient care truly shine through in his work. I highly recommend Dr. Schwartz to anyone considering a tummy tuck or any other cosmetic procedure. Five stars all the way!

I recently underwent a breast lift/augmentation, and C-section scar revision with Dr. Schwartz, and I am genuinely impressed by the exceptional level of care I received. As a mom of three breast-fed babies, I struggled with the idea of “erasing” the evidence of my nursing journey, while also wanting to feel more like my old self again. This led me to call Dr. Schwartz’s office for a consultation. From my very first visit, it was clear that this practice is different. Stephanie, the nurse who guided me through my initial consultation, was simply amazing. Her ability to listen and understand my concerns made all the difference, and her empathy and compassion instantly put me at ease. She’s bright, with a great sense of humor, which added to the comfort I felt. April, the practice manager, was also a standout. Her attentiveness and willingness to answer all my questions demonstrated her deep knowledge of the process and her commitment to patient care. Beyond that, her approachable nature made me feel like I was speaking to a trusted friend or sister rather than a medical professional. Jenny, the patient coordinator, was equally wonderful. Her calming and patient demeanor made her incredibly easy to talk to. Jenny took care of scheduling my surgery and follow-up appointments and clearly explained all of the payment options. Her warmth and friendliness made each interaction a pleasant experience. The day of surgery went so smoothly. The facility itself was impressively clean and beautiful. The nurses, Danielle and Courtney, were incredible. From the first IV placement to the wheelchair ride to the car, I felt very well taken care of. After surgery, they spent time by my bedside comforting and reassuring me. We had nice conversation (from what I actually remember) and shared a few laughs. They are two of the kindest, most encouraging nurses I have ever met. The anesthesiologist, Dr. Katouzian, is a brilliant yet down-to-earth person. He managed my pain perfectly and I am grateful to have been in his care. During my second post-op appointment, I was pleased to meet Brenda. Her genuine warmth and kind nature made her easy to talk to, and it was clear that she truly cared about my recovery. Brenda’s remarkable compassion left a deep and lasting impression on me. Dr. Schwartz is truly unparalleled in his field. Despite his incredible expertise, he remains humble and deeply dedicated to his patients. The fact that he personally answers after-hours calls speaks volumes about his commitment. I’m deeply thankful for the outstanding care I received from Dr. Schwartz and his entire team. If you’re seeking a surgeon who combines exceptional skill with genuine humility and a patient-first approach, I highly recommend Dr. Schwartz.

An outstanding group of professionals. I got a BBL treatment. My technician, Martha, made the experience very pleasant (considering that she was zapping me with a laser). I highly recommend Dr. Schwartz's business.
