Brow Lift in Millsboro, DE

Brow Lift Surgery

A brow lift, also known as an eyebrow lift, is a surgical procedure that elevates the brows and smooths the upper face to create a more youthful and refreshed appearance. When the forehead and brows droop over time, it produces a tired or angry look. At Peninsula Plastic Surgery in Millsboro, DE, Dr. Perrotta, Dr. Luppens, and Dr. Kerestes have performed countless brow lift surgeries for both men and women, using advanced surgical techniques to provide natural-looking results with minimal discomfort and scarring.

While non-surgical options like brow lift Botox® offer temporary lifting effects, a surgical brow lift procedure provides a longer-lasting solution to correct drooping brows, reduce forehead wrinkles, and enhance overall facial balance. Whether your goals are cosmetic or functional, we will work with you to achieve your desired outcome.

Candidates For A Brow Lift

You may be a good candidate for brow lift surgery if:

What to Expect at your Consultation

During your private consultation, Dr. Perrotta, Dr. Luppens, or Dr. Kerestes will listen to your aesthetic concerns and evaluate your forehead and brow anatomy. Their goal is to explain what a brow lift is, discuss the different techniques that are available, and recommend a surgical plan that is customized to your needs and goals.

After a treatment plan has been finalized, our aesthetic coordinator will provide you with a written quote that outlines the full brow lift cost, including anesthesia and facility fees. At this time, your pre-op visit will also be scheduled.

Pre-Op Visit

At your pre-operative appointment, the following steps will be completed:

An experienced medical assistant will take pre-surgery photographs for you
Your surgeon will review the planned brow lift procedure and address any concerns
The examination will include a review of medical history and a physical examination
Consent forms will be signed, and all final payments will be processed
You’ll receive instructions and your official surgery arrival time 24 hours prior

The Brow Lift Surgery

Your brow lift surgery will be performed under local anesthesia with IV sedation, although some patients may prefer general anesthesia. Dr. Perrotta, Dr. Luppens, and Dr. Kerestes carefully place incisions at, behind, or below the hairline, depending on your natural hairline and surgical goals.

There are various types of brow lifts, including endoscopic, temporal, and traditional coronal approaches. In all techniques, the surgeon will release the brow tissues from their underlying structures and reposition them upward. The brows are then secured with sutures to maintain their elevated position. Incisions are closed and covered with soft dressings to support healing and reduce swelling.

Post-Op Recovery

Recovery after a brow lift is relatively straightforward. Most patients return home the same day with their head gently wrapped in post-surgical dressings. In most cases, drains are not needed.

Dressings are typically removed within a few days
Sutures placed at or near the hairline are removed in 3–6 days
Sutures or staples located behind the hairline are removed within 1–3 weeks
Swelling and bruising generally resolve within 7–10 days
Several post-op follow-ups will be scheduled to monitor healing and outcomes
