Serving Phoenix, Scottsdale, Gilbert, Chandler, Glendale and surrounding areas in Arizona

What can a brow lift do for me?

A brow lift, or forehead lift, smoothes frown lines and deep furrows in your forehead and lifts heavy or drooping eyebrows opening up the eye area. The result is a more youthful appearance and more pleasant, relaxed expression. A brow lift can correct a tired, angry look.

Who can benefit from a brow lift?

Many patients choose a brow lift to reverse the signs of aging caused by sun exposure, stress, and repetitive facial expressions. A heavy or drooping brow can also be the result of genetics, rather than aging. Patients who want a smoother forehead, or want to open up their eye area, can benefit from brow lift surgery.

What is an endoscopic brow lift?

An endoscopic brow lift uses tiny, hidden incisions for minimal scarring and significantly reduced recovery time. Rather than using an incision that goes from ear to ear across the top of your forehead and lifts the skin, a tiny camera allows Dr. Gawley to view the surgical area.

How do I know if I need a brow lift, facelift, or eyelid surgery?

Typically, a facelift addresses the lower two-thirds of your face. Eyelid surgery addresses the eye area but will not correct problems caused by a heavy or drooping brow. Many patients find that the brow lift targets the areas they believed would benefit from a facelift or blepharoplasty. Dr. Gawley can recommend the procedure which will deliver the results you desire.

Can I have a brow lift in combination with other procedures?

Yes, many patients choose to have a brow lift in combination with blepharoplasty, facelift, or neck lift.

Is a brow lift painful?

Many patients avoid or put off the procedures they really want because they are afraid it will be painful. The endoscopic brow lift is minimally invasive and carries a shorter and less painful recovery than traditional brow lift surgery. Dr. Gawley is dedicated to providing the most comfortable recovery possible and will prescribe painkillers as needed. You will be provided in-depth post-operative instructions to help minimize discomfort and help you to heal quickly.
