How is a brow lift performed?

When performing a brow lift in Rockville, Dr. Faulkner typically chooses between two incision techniques: endoscopic and coronal, but may offer a less involved option: a limited brow lift. A coronal brow lift involves an incision made across the top of the head, from ear to ear, behind the hairline. The skin is then lifted, and the underlying muscles are tightened to smooth out wrinkles and lift the brow. The incision is hidden within the hairline, so there is minimal visible scarring. It allows for comprehensive forehead lifting and muscle repositioning for patients who require more dramatic correction. An endoscopic brow lift involves small incisions within the hairline that does not move its position. A thin, camera-equipped tube (endoscope) allows for precise tissue and muscle adjustment to smooth forehead creases. This results in a shorter recovery time and less visible scarring compared to the traditional brow lift.

How long is the recovery process?

Most patients can expect to return to work and normal activities within 2 to 3 weeks of a brow lift in Rockville. While you may appear healed to the public, it’s important to continue following Dr. Faulkner’s aftercare instructions—including protecting the incision site—as your skin continues to heal for the following months.

Where will my surgery be performed?

Dr. Faulkner can perform a limited brow lift at our office under local anesthesia. However, you can always opt to undergo the procedure in an operating room under general anesthesia. During your consultation, Dr. Faulkner will review your medical history to ensure anesthesia is safe for you. He will also explain the differences between incision types and recommend the best approach to achieve your desired results.

About Brow & Forehead Lifts

A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, restores the eyebrows to a more youthful position, reducing wrinkles and laxity. Dr. Faulkner approaches every brow lift in Rockville differently, considering your unique facial anatomy to maintain balance while addressing concerns such as:

Horizontal wrinkles on the forehead, nose, or between the eyes
Vertical “frown lines” between the brows
Sagging eyebrows, which may cause the upper eyelids to “hood”

Dr Faulkner and his staff are the best. He is very knowledgeable and won't waste your money on treatments that don't work. I highly recommend him. Also, I always regret using somebody else. I've tried a few other doctors out there and I always come running back to Dr Faulkner!
