What Are The Benefits of Brow Lift Surgery?

When performed by an expert like Dr. Teotia, brow lift surgery can:

  • Elevate your forehead to a more youthful, natural position
  • Soften deep wrinkles, folds, and frown lines
  • Open your eye area, improving visibility
  • Restore a relaxed, friendly, approachable expression
  • Enhance facial harmony in a way that respects your innate beauty 

What Different Types of Brow Lift Procedures Are There?

Dr. Teotia believes in taking a collaborative approach with her patients. She will work closely with you to determine which lifting technique will give you the best results.

Hairline Brow Lift

This method involves placing a discreet incision along the natural border of the hairline. Through this access point, Dr. Teotia gently lifts the forehead skin, removes excess tissue, and repositions the brows to a more youthful height. She may also adjust the muscles responsible for deep forehead creases or “11s” between the brows for smoother results. This technique is especially well-suited for patients with longer foreheads, as it can subtly lower the hairline while rejuvenating the upper face.

Coronal Brow Lift

A more traditional approach, the coronal brow lift uses a longer incision placed several inches behind the hairline, hidden within the scalp. This method allows for a more extensive lift and muscle adjustment, making it ideal for patients with significant brow drooping or deep forehead lines. While the incision is larger, it’s well-concealed within the hair and offers dramatic, long-lasting results.

Who’s a Good Candidate for a Brow Lift in Dallas?

Ideal candidates for brow lift surgery are adults who have experienced collagen loss and skin laxity, leading to sagging and deeply etched wrinkles in the upper third of their faces. 

You should also be in good health and have realistic expectations about the procedure’s outcomes. Non-smokers tend to heal more efficiently, as nicotine restricts blood flow and reduces skin elasticity. If you currently smoke, Dr. Teotia recommends quitting before surgery and remaining nicotine-free to support optimal healing and reduce the risk of complications.

What Can You Expect from Brow Lift Recovery and Results?

Initial healing from brow lift surgery typically takes 10 days to 2 weeks, but full recovery from brow lift surgery can take 3 to 6 months. Bruising and swelling around the forehead, brow, and upper eyelids are common during the first few weeks. You may also experience mild tightness or numbness, which will gradually improve as healing progresses. Dr. Teotia will send you home with postoperative instructions to follow for optimal recovery, including keeping your head elevated, cleaning your incision sites, avoiding strenuous activity, and returning for follow-up appointments.

Most patients are able to return to their daily activities and see visible improvements to their brow position and facial expression within the first few weeks. The results will continue to refine over several months as residual swelling subsides. Dr. Teotia and her team will closely monitor your progress to ensure your outcome reflects your goals.

What Are the Best Tips for a Smooth Recovery?

Use this advice for a more comfortable experience when you return home from brow lift surgery.

  • Sleep with your head elevated: Prop yourself up with extra pillows when resting or sleeping to reduce swelling and promote fluid drainage. Avoid bending over or lying flat during the first few days.
  • Take medications as prescribed: Pain management and infection prevention are essential during the early recovery phase. Carefully follow medication instructions and contact our office right away if you experience unexpected side effects.
  • Arrange for help around the house: For the first few days, it’s wise to have a trusted friend or family member assist with household tasks, meal prep, and childcare. Minimizing physical strain allows your body to redirect more energy toward healing.
  • Choose button-up or zip-up clothes: Pulling shirts over your head can disturb your incisions and worsen swelling. Choose tops that fasten in the front to make dressing easier and safer.
  • Limit physical activity: Though you should take gentle walks to encourage blood circulation, refrain from strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, or other activities that elevate your blood pressure for at least two weeks.
  • Avoid alcohol and smoking: These substances can impair healing and increase the risk of complications. Steer clear while you heal.
  • Protect your incisions from sun exposure: Use sunscreen or wear a wide-brimmed hat to shield your forehead from UV rays. Sun protection prevents noticeable pigmentation changes to scars.
  • Be patient: While early refinements may be visible within a few weeks, your results will continue improving over several months as tissues settle and refine.

FAQS: Brow Lift in Dallas-Fort Worth with Dr. Stephanie Teotia

During your consultation, Dr. Teotia will help you determine whether a brow lift is the right procedure for you.

Blepharoplasty removes sagging tissue around the eyes. A brow lift helps with sagging skin and wrinkles from the eyebrows up and through the forehead. Some patients combine the procedures for a complete rejuvenation of the upper face.

The decision will be made when you meet with Dr. Teotia.

Most scarring is not visible because the incisions are next to or above the hairline. Patients with thin hair may notice that hair does not grow in the areas of the incision.

Unfortunately, some physicians overdo cosmetic procedures. In the case of a brow lift, the modification needs to be done tastefully to blend with the rest of your facial features. Dr. Teotia will provide you with the advice you need to look your best without looking unnatural.

Dr. Teotia and her staff offer Ultherapy. This is a non-invasive method to tighten the forehead skin and lift the eyebrow position.

While individual results vary, most patients enjoy the benefits of a brow lift for 10 to 15 years. Factors like skin quality, lifestyle, and sun exposure can influence longevity. Dr. Teotia uses advanced techniques to ensure natural-looking, lasting outcomes.

Yes. Many patients choose to pair their brow lift with eyelid surgery or a facelift for a more comprehensive rejuvenation. Dr. Teotia will recommend a tailored plan during your consultation.

Most patients experience mild swelling and bruising for the first week. At the two-week mark, patients are often able to return to work. By weeks three and four, patients can resume their daily activities with the exception of strenuous physical activity. Patients are typically cleared to resume all physical activity at six weeks. It is important to always start with low impact activities first and then gradually increase the intensity. Dr. Teotia will provide detailed aftercare instructions and remain available to answer questions while you heal.

Since everyone ages at a different rate, there’s no such thing as being “too young” or “too old” for plastic surgery. Your physical health and emotional readiness are more influential factors. 



A brow lift will reposition your forehead without altering your eyes. However, elevating your brow can reduce hooding and make your eyes appear more open and refreshed.

As with any surgical procedure, risks include infection, scarring, numbness, and asymmetry. Dr. Teotia prioritizes patient safety and uses refined techniques to minimize complications while delivering beautiful, balanced results.
