The open, bright look of youth can be yours again with a custom brow lift in New Orleans with Dr. Miller.
The mid-forehead brow lift is a softer version of the coronal brow lift and also used to correct heavy brows. The incision is made in existing creases of the forehead. From there, the eyebrows are carefully repositioned and excess skin is removed.
In a coronal brow lift, an incision is made several inches behind the hairline and is typically longer than incisions in other types of brow lifts. The coronal brow lift is utilized to reposition the eyebrows for a revitalized, attentive look. A coronal brow lift is an extensive correction used primarily for patients with very heavy brows.
Pretrichial brow lift, or subcutaneous brow lift, involves making an incision in front of the hairline along the forehead to lift the brows into a more desirable position. Since the incision for this type of brow lift is closer to the brow area than other techniques, it can provide an optimal lift while rejuvenating the eye area. The pretrichial brow lift is ideal for patients with large foreheads or high hairlines.
This type of brow lift is minimally invasive and performed with an endoscope, a small tube with a light and a camera attached. Small incisions are made on the scalp instead of near the hairline. The endoscope is inserted through the incisions, and the surgeon uses a monitor to see the area and delicately reposition the brow muscles. This procedure results in minimal scarring and reduces the risk of nerve damage that comes with a traditional brow lift. Recovery time is about a week, which is shorter than the typical brow lift.
A lateral brow lift, sometimes called a temporal or mini brow lift, addresses the drooping outer corners of the brow. Incisions are minimal and the procedure can be done using only local anesthesia. This lift does not affect the center of the forehead or entire brow, just the outer arches of the brow. Because of this, there is no risk of a "surprised look". This procedure is also suitable for those who would like a classic arched brow, regardless of age. The lateral brow lift corrects crow's feet, reduces wrinkling in the brow and forehead, and has a subtle lifting effect on the cheeks.
After a brow lift, swelling and bruising are normal and should subside within one to two weeks. Most patients can return to desk work and light socializing within ten to fourteen days. Dr. Miller makes a customized recommendation plan for each patient and schedules follow-up visits so he can monitor the healing process.
Dr. Miller has dedicated much of his practice to male facial rejuvenation. Men's facial cosmetic needs are quite different from those of women and require a specific skill set. For example, men's eyebrows are naturally positioned lower on the face, so when Dr. Miller performs a brow lift on a male patient, he calibrates the lift to make it less pronounced than it would be for a female patient. This ensures that his male patients look rejuvenated but maintain a natural and masculine look.

Good candidates for a brow lift are individuals with sagging or heavy brows that create a tired, angry, or aged appearance. Patients who no longer achieve satisfactory results from non-surgical treatments due to increased skin laxity may also benefit from the procedure.
The ideal brow lift technique depends on factors such as brow position, forehead size, hairline placement, skin laxity, and aesthetic goals. During a consultation, the surgeon evaluates these factors and recommends the most appropriate approach.
Yes, a brow lift is often combined with other facial rejuvenation procedures, such as a facelift, neck lift, or eyelid surgery, to achieve more comprehensive and balanced results.
An endoscopic brow lift uses small incisions hidden within the scalp and specialized camera-assisted technology to reposition the brows. This minimally invasive approach typically results in less scarring and a shorter recovery period.
When performed by an experienced facial plastic surgeon, a brow lift is designed to create a refreshed and natural appearance while preserving your unique facial expressions and overall character.
Most patients can resume desk work and light social activities within ten to fourteen days, although recovery timelines may vary depending on the surgical technique used and individual healing factors.
While improvements are noticeable as swelling subsides, final brow lift results are typically visible within six to eight weeks after surgery.
In some cases, a brow lift can improve peripheral vision by elevating brows that have descended enough to obstruct the upper field of vision.
Yes, brow lift techniques are customized to suit masculine and feminine facial anatomy. For men, the brow is typically lifted more conservatively to maintain a natural and masculine appearance.
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, a balanced diet, stress management, quality sleep, and consistent sun protection, can help support and prolong the results of a brow lift.
