Brow Lift

Many patients come to me convinced they need eyelid surgery when the real problem is the brow. As the forehead and brow descend with age, they crowd the upper eyelids, flatten the arch of the brow and make you look tired, heavy or even angry when you feel none of those things. A brow lift repositions the brow where it belongs and opens up the whole upper face, often more effectively than eyelid surgery alone.

What a Brow Lift Can Correct

• A low or flattened brow that makes the eyes look small and tired
• Heavy upper eyelids caused by brow descent rather than excess eyelid skin
• Deep horizontal forehead furrows and frown lines between the brows
• Asymmetry, where one brow sits noticeably lower than the other

Modern Brow Lifts Do Not Look Surprised

The overlifted, startled look of the 1990s came from pulling the entire forehead up. Today I lift selectively. For most patients a temporal (lateral) brow lift through small incisions hidden in the hairline raises the outer third of the brow, which is where the arch is lost and where the eye reads as tired, without touching the inner brow. An endoscopic brow lift uses a few short incisions behind the hairline and a camera to release and reposition the brow with minimal scarring. For patients with a very high forehead or heavy, deeply furrowed brows, a hairline or coronal lift may give a better result. I will show you at your consultation which technique fits your anatomy.

Brow Lift With Eyelid Surgery or a Facelift

A brow lift is often performed in the same operation as upper eyelid surgery, since the two problems usually coexist, and it balances a facelift so the upper face does not look older than the lower. Fat grafting to the temples and upper lids can be added when hollowing is part of the picture.

Hear Me Talk Brow Lifts on Beauty and the Beasts

I devoted a full episode of Beauty and the Beasts to why the brow lift is the most underrated operation in facial rejuvenation, and how modern techniques avoid the surprised look.

What to Expect

A brow lift is an outpatient procedure under anesthesia that takes one to two hours, longer when combined with other procedures. Expect swelling and some bruising around the eyes for the first week. Sutures or clips come out at about one week, most patients return to work in seven to ten days, and residual swelling settles over three weeks. Numbness of the scalp is normal and resolves over a few months.

Dr. Sam is straightforward and knowledgeable.I  did my research and please go research about him before going for your first visit. I was at peace going through this journey because I knew I was in good hands He does not sell you a fantasy. He tells you what he can do and what he will not overdo.
He is not a “cosmetic clinic” doctor with a short course. He completed a long U.S. plastic-surgery residency, added a cosmetic fellowship, passed the plastic-surgery board.

I came in wanting an extended abdominoplasty, muscle repair, and VASER liposuction of the abdomen, flanks, and back. I also did bilateral breast augmentation with Motiva Ergonomix (small, mini profile, about 245–255 cc) and fat grafting to my hip dips.  He explained the plan clearly: tighten the separated muscle, take the extra skin, shape the waist and back, keep my natural butt, and only put a modest amount of fat in the dips so it would have a better chance to survive. He said he did not do too much fat on purpose. That honesty mattered to me.
Before surgery the office was organized. Medications were sent to my pharmacy with clear instructions — . They also recommended hyperbaric oxygen to help the fat grafts snd overall healing. He answered questions about implants vs fat in the breasts, sensation, and what was realistic at my size (5'9", about 205 lbs, size 12). He did not promise I would wake up a different person.
Surgery day was a long day, but the team knew the plan. Spend one night at hotel. Nurses were incredibly.  I was sore, tight, and tired, which he had already prepared me for. I still cannot stand fully straight, I have drains, I wear the binder and board, and I have numb patches on my belly and back. One side of my back is more sore and numb.  I went home the next day feeling ready for my healing journey.  Few days a little leak around the drain after using the bathroom happened. He and the staff treat that as expected if it is only a little. They took about 8 lbs of skin and fat. My scale went up to 207–208 from swelling. That scared me until I understood it was fluid, not failure.
I am only about a week and a half out, so this is not a final-result review. The waist is still swollen. The implants sit high. The hip fill looks full because of swelling plus the fat they placed. I know the real shape takes months. What I can say now is that he was direct, he did the operation we agreed on, and he did not push extra procedures I did not need.
If you want a doctor who talks straight, knows mommy-makeover surgery, and will keep a fat transfer conservative so it lasts, Dr. Sam is a good choice. I love his staffs This is the best gift I could give me. Love it .
Follow the clot shots, walk, and don’t judge the mirror in weeks.

I highly recommend Dr. Sam. I needed breast revision surgery because of capsular contracture, and two other doctors had declined to operate because of the condition and my age. Dr. Sam listened to my concerns and was confident he could help. He even showed me a breast simulation before surgery so I could see what the result might look like.

The surgery went smoothly. I had no bruising, and my incisions look excellent. I’m very happy with the results and with the care I received throughout the entire experience. Thank you, Dr. Sam!

Fantastic experience! Worth every penny!
From the front desk staff to the nurses I m talking about everyone in the practice they were absolutely amazing. They made me feel so comfortable and cared for from my initial consultation all the way through my surgery day and throughout my entire post-op experience.
One of the things I appreciated the most was how accessible and responsive they were. I could reach them by text whenever I had questions, even after surgery, and they were always there to help.
Dr. Jejurikar did a fantastic job on me! I absolutely love my results and feel like I look really good. I’m so happy I chose him for my procedure.
Thank you so much to the entire team for your care, support, and all those late-night texts and responses during my post-op recovery. You guys are truly the best!

I am absolutely thrilled with the results of my brachioplasty! At my three-month follow-up, my surgeon told me that my scars look amazing, and I couldn’t agree more with how beautifully everything has healed.

This surgery has truly been life-changing for me. For the past five years, I wouldn’t wear short-sleeved or sleeveless clothing because I was so self-conscious about my arms. Now I’m wearing the clothes I want to wear and feeling confident and comfortable doing it. That feeling is incredibly freeing.

I am so happy I made the decision to have this surgery, and I am especially grateful to my surgeon for the beautiful results and the care throughout the entire process. The results have exceeded my expectations, and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone considering a brachioplasty.

For me, this wasn’t just about changing the appearance of my arms—it gave me back a confidence and freedom I had been missing for years. I couldn’t be happier!

I had been thinking about getting breast implants for a long time, and I’m so happy I finally decided to do it. Choosing my surgeon was a very important decision for me, and his knowledge, experience, and professionalism immediately gave me confidence.

He was always extremely polite, patient, and knowledgeable, and I felt like I was in very good hands from the beginning. The entire process was so much easier than I expected, and I experienced almost no pain. I honestly couldn’t be happier with my results and my overall experience.

His entire team was absolutely wonderful. Everyone was so kind, welcoming, and reassuring, and they made me feel comfortable and never stressed throughout the whole process.

I’m incredibly happy that I chose him and his team. I would highly recommend him to anyone considering breast implants! 🤍

Finding the right plastic surgeon is not always easy, and I’m sharing my experience in hopes that it may help others making this very personal decision.

After losing weight, along with age and gravity, my once-full D breasts had become a deflated C. I wanted to restore my upper-pole fullness but really wanted to avoid a breast lift.

I had a consultation at a well-known surgery center and was told I needed a lift and there was no other option. My consultation with Dr. Jejurikar was completely different. Dr. J listened to exactly what I wanted and explained how he could achieve my goal without a lift.

The results exceeded my expectations. I achieved exactly the fullness and look I was hoping for without undergoing a lift.

Dr. J is meticulous, truly listens to his patients, and has an exceptional eye for proportion and aesthetics. He truly is a body artist.

This was my second surgery with Dr. J. He performed my tummy tuck 10 years ago, and I am still extremely happy with those results today.

His entire staff is professional, attentive, and welcoming. After two surgeries and 10 years of experience with Dr. J, I cannot recommend him highly enough.
