Reclaim a Youthful Forehead

As we age, our brows may start drooping, and the forehead might develop deep lines that make us appear tired or concerned, even when we feel great. If these changes affect your confidence and how others perceive you, a brow lift in Chicago at Fulcrum Aesthetics could be the key to rejuvenating your appearance. At Fulcrum Aesthetics, we specialize in bringing out your best self through precision and artistry. Led by Dr. David Hill and nurse practitioner Brittony Croasdell, our team combines advanced surgical techniques with a deep understanding of facial aesthetics. We are dedicated to delivering natural-looking results that enhance your features and boost your self-esteem.

What Is a Brow Lift?

A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is a surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate the upper third of the face. This procedure targets the brow area, smoothing out deep lines and wrinkles on the forehead and elevating the brows to a more youthful position. A brow lift can restore a refreshed, alert, and youthful appearance by addressing sagging skin and correcting drooping brows.

Discreet incisions are carefully made during the procedure, often concealed within the hairline or along natural facial creases. Excess skin and underlying tissues are adjusted to lift and reposition the brows through these incisions. The result is a more open and youthful look, with reduced forehead lines and improved eyebrow symmetry.

What to Expect: The Brow Lift Procedure

At Fulcrum Aesthetics, our brow lift procedure is meticulously planned and executed to ensure optimal results. Here’s what you can expect during your brow lift journey:

  1. Consultation: Your journey begins with an in-depth consultation, during which we evaluate your forehead and brow anatomy, discuss your goals, and create a tailored treatment plan. You will also receive detailed pre-operative instructions to ensure you're fully prepared for the day of surgery.
  2. Preparation: On the day of the procedure, your skin will be cleansed, and anesthesia will be administered to ensure your comfort throughout the surgery.
  3. Incisions: Dr. Hill will make discreet incisions in the hairline or along natural creases to minimize visible scarring.
  4. Tissue Adjustment: The underlying muscles and tissues are lifted and repositioned, excess skin is removed, and the brows are elevated to create a smoother, more youthful appearance.
  5. Suturing: The incisions are closed with fine sutures, and a bandage may be applied to support the healing process and reduce swelling.
  6. Post-Procedure Care: After the surgery, you will be monitored as you wake from anesthesia. We provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery and optimal results.

Brow Lift Recovery & Results

Recovery from a brow lift involves some downtime, with most patients able to resume normal activities within 1 to 2 weeks. Initially, you may experience swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort, which can be managed with cold compresses and prescribed medications. Following our post-operative care instructions, including keeping your head elevated, avoiding strenuous activities, and attending follow-up appointments, is essential to optimal recovery and results.

As the swelling subsides, you’ll notice an improvement in the appearance of your forehead and brows. Full results are typically visible within several months, revealing a more youthful and refreshed appearance. The effects of a brow lift are long-lasting, with many patients enjoying their rejuvenated look for years. Regular follow-up appointments at Fulcrum Aesthetics will help maintain your results and ensure your recovery is progressing as expected.
