Brow Lifts in Los Alamitos, CA

Surgery to lift the brow (sometimes known as a forehead lift or browplasty) is a popular procedure that provides a refreshed look to the upper area of the face. A brow or forehead lift improves the low placement or sagging of the brow, the facial region from the eyebrows to top of the forehead at the hairline. In some patients, the repeated, unconscious raising of the brow over time can cause the forehead skin to sag, as can the natural aging process. A sagging brow can often cause an angry, worried, or tired appearance. A browplasty surgically corrects a drooping brow by lifting the eyebrows and eliminating excess skin. Dr. Raman Mehrzad is a board-certified plastic surgeon in Los Alamitos, CA who has completed browplasty on many men and women to give them a more youthful appearance. Facelifts, eyelid lifts, dermal fillers, and BOTOX are commonly performed along with a forehead lift at Ocean Plastic Surgery Center for best results, producing a smoother and softer appearance.

Frequently asked questions for brow lift

It is better to concentrate on finding a skilled surgeon, like Dr. Mehrzad, who can give you the best results than to go with the lowest price. Your costs for brow lift surgery will depend on the technique used, anesthesia, facility fees, and more. When your treatment plan is developed during your consultation, cost estimates can be made. Dr. Mehrzad will also explain payment methods and where to apply for low-interest financing to make your surgery more affordable.

Whether you need a facelift or brow lift will depend on your goals and where you have excess skin. You should openly talk about your wishes with Dr. Mehrzad so he can help you choose which treatment is best. Some patients who come in wanting a facelift may find they would be better with a brow lift or vice versa, or they may need both. Using his experience, Dr. Mehrzad will confidently help you decide on your treatment plan to give you your best results.

You may consider one of the many nonsurgical options, including laser skin tightening and injectables (like Juvéderm and BOTOX), that can provide short-term improvements. However, brow lift surgery is better for longer-lasting results and significant improvements. In your consultation, Dr. Mehrzad can go over both your nonsurgical and surgical choices to help you decide which is better for your needs.

The type of brow lift you undergo will be based on your facial features and aesthetic preferences. A brow lift usually involves incisions in the hair-bearing scalp, but sometimes incisions are made in the forehead and/or the upper eyelids. During your consultation, Dr. Mehrzad will assess your problem, considering your hairline and hairstyle preferences, and make a recommendation that will yield the least scarring and the best cosmetic results.

If you have an experienced plastic surgeon, like Dr. Mehrzad, your brow lift will appear natural. He will create your treatment plan for your needs and goals to help you appear refreshed, rather than frozen or tight. When performing your brow lift, Dr. Mehrzad will concentrate on removing loose skin. The remaining tissue and skin will be smoothed so your results don't lift your eyebrows too high or limit your facial expressions.

Brow Lift (Forehead Lift) — Los Alamitos, Newport Beach, Beverly Hills & Los Angeles, CA

Serving Los Alamitos, Newport Beach, Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, Seal Beach, Long Beach, Cypress, Cerritos, Lakewood, Huntington Beach, Irvine & Costa Mesa

Across Orange County and Greater Los Angeles, patients visit Ocean Plastic Surgery Center in Los Alamitos for tailored, high‑precision facial surgery that looks natural in motion and in photos.

1) What a Modern Brow Lift Improves

A contemporary brow lift elevates a heavy or descended brow, opens the upper eyelids, and softens forehead/frown lines without creating a surprised look. Many patients think they need upper blepharoplasty, but lateral brow descent is the true driver of hooding.

2) Benefits

Rested eye appearance without over‑arching
Reduces lateral hooding that mimics excess upper‑lid skin
Softens forehead lines by rebalancing vectors
Pairs seamlessly with upper blepharoplasty
Incisions hidden behind or at the hairline (pretrichial)

3) Candidacy

You may be a candidate if you subconsciously raise your brows, have brow tails below the orbital rim, or persistent hooding despite skincare. Healthy non‑smokers with realistic goals do best.

4) Techniques

Endoscopic Brow Lift

Short hair‑hidden incisions and camera guidance for precise release and fixation; excellent for lateral brow descent.

Temporal (Lateral) Brow Lift

Targets the outer third of the brow; often paired with upper bleph for refined framing.

Pretrichial/Trichophytic (Hairline) Lift

Ideal for high foreheads; subtly shortens forehead while lifting the brow; hairs grow through beveled incision.

Coronal Lift (Selective)

Used selectively in thick‑haired patients needing global elevation and forehead shortening.

5) Incisions & Scars

We preserve hairline position/density, avoid widening the forehead, and hide scars in hair or at the hairline. Scar care: silicone, SPF.

6) Procedure

Vector planning seated
Anesthesia
Selective release of brow depressors
Elevation/fixation for symmetry
Layered closure

7) Recovery & Aftercare

Swelling/tightness for days; socially comfortable in 7–10 days. Head elevation, cold compresses, and activity restrictions aid recovery.

8) Risks

Bleeding, infection, asymmetry, visible scarring, temporary hair shedding near incisions, and rare nerve irritation.

9) Combining Procedures

Upper/lower blepharoplasty, CO₂ laser around the eyes, and temple fat transfer are common add‑ons.

10) Cost & Financing

Depends on technique and combinations. Clear estimates and financing available.

FAQs

Brow lift or upper blepharoplasty—how do I choose?

If heaviness originates from a low brow, lifting the brow first restores the frame; then a conservative upper bleph refines the crease.

Will I look surprised?

No. We focus on lateral brow support and natural vectors to keep expressions relaxed.

Will it change my hairline?

Endoscopic techniques preserve the hairline; pretrichial can intentionally shorten a high forehead.

How long do results last?

Many years, with aging continuing slowly. Sun protection and neuromodulators help maintain results.

When can I wear makeup and color my hair?

Makeup after suture removal; hair color typically 2–3 weeks when incisions are sealed.
