About Facial Contouring
As the years pass, we all show the physical signs of aging. The human body produces less collagen and elastin in its advancing years. Collagen and elastin are dense structures beneath the skin that gives it support and smoothness. When these building blocks are depleted, skin becomes loose, and starts to hang from the underlying muscles and soft tissue.
For some individuals, sagging brows can be remedied on a temporary basis with the help of strategic injections of Botox. But for patients with more pronounced cases, and those who want a more permanent solution, cosmetic surgery is a better option. Unlike injections, a brow lift actually removes the excess skin and fat deposits that have accumulated in the forehead.
Dr. Laris is an accomplished and experienced surgeon, and can contour your brow for a youthful, alert appearance without the tell-tale “surprised” or “overdone” look. All incisions are stealthily concealed behind the hairline for maximum discretion. This procedure is also known as a coronal lift because it only affects the “crown” area of the scalp.[1]
By skillfully raising the features of the upper face, Dr. Laris can take years off your appearance. To discuss your interest in facial rejuvenation, please dial (480) 473-9111 in Scottsdale or call (602) 222-9111 to connect with our Phoenix Office. Please note, the Phoenix location offers in-person consultations and Scottsdale can provide virtual consultations (we highly reccomend in-person in the Phoenix office).

Benefits of a Brow Lift

There are many different reasons for patients to consider a brow lift. A brow lift will eliminate many unwanted effects of loose forehead and brow skin. For example, this procedure alleviates “hooding” of the eyes. Frown lines, or “the 11’s” can become etched between the eyebrows as a result of loose forehead skin. But regardless of your personal motivation and goals, you can be sure that you’ll be in good hands at Phoenix Skin. During your comprehensive consultation. Dr. Laris will listen to your needs and expectations, and after a thorough examination, recommend the best course of action for you.

Preparation and Procedure
During your in-depth consultation, the Phoenix Skin staff will provide you with detailed and personalized instructions to prepare you for your upcoming brow lift.
In general, you should quit smoking at least three weeks prior to any surgery. You may also be advised to stop taking certain medications and supplements like aspirin or ibuprofen. Optimizing your health and wellness before a procedure helps ensure amazing results and a fast recovery.
When you arrive on the day of your brow lift, the Phoenix Skin team will make you feel right at home and go over the specifics of the procedure with you one last time before you receive the appropriate anesthesia. The brow lift procedure itself takes a little over an hour.
Healthy Recovery
As with any surgery, you may experience mild to moderate discomfort. Dr. Laris can prescribe the proper medications to help manage your recuperation. You may also be advised to apply cold compresses to the forehead region following a brow lift to reduce swelling and ease pain. Phoenix Skin will stay in touch with you, and look forward to seeing your progress during your follow-up appointments.
Results
You’ll see results immediately after your brow lift. As swelling and bruising lessen over the following days, your results will continue to improve. You’ll enjoy a smooth firm forehead, and youthful, delineated contours of the upper eyelids and eyebrows.
Forehead lift results last around 5-10 years, but may last even longer depending on your lifestyle. Proper skincare and healthy living can delay the effects of continued aging, gravity, and the elements. Phoenix Skin has helped patients achieve and maintain results that they love. You can read our glowing reviews here.
Complementary and Alternative Procedures
While planning for your brow lift, you may consider other procedures that will help you get the most out of your procedure, and the best overall results. For example, a brow lift is often performed at the same time as a blepharoplasty (eyelid lift).[2] This procedure targets excess skin and fat between the eyelid and the brow. The combination of these procedures ensures a consistent, taut appearance across the upper half of the face.
If you’d like to address the other areas of your face for rejuvenation, then you may want to consider the benefits of a Y-Lift. Dr. Laris adds volume to the cheeks by strategically placing dermal filler. Meanwhile, he can accentuate the jawline for a youthful contour. Together, these techniques give the face a pleasing, lifted Y shape without the need for extensive surgery.
For a preview of how a brow lift will smooth your upper face, try Botox Cosmetic. Botox temporarily relaxes the facial muscles responsible for lines and wrinkles. To learn more about any of the procedures mentioned above, please contact Phoenix Skin online.
