Brow Lift Before & After Case 2680

This patient underwent a direct brow lift along with upper blepharoplasty and periocular laser treatment. The direct brow lift involved an incision that followed the natural contour of the brow, with brow hairs helping to camouflage the incision line. Dr. David Stoker removed over a centimeter of skin at the brow level and over a centimeter at the upper eyelid, addressing significant soft tissue heaviness in both areas.

In the before photos, the brows sit low over the eyes, with pronounced heaviness across the upper lids that substantially narrows the visible eye opening. The after photos, taken one month after surgery, show the brow position notably higher and the upper lid area considerably less encumbered. The incision line is already difficult to distinguish from the natural lines of the brow area at this one-month timepoint.

For prospective patients researching a brow lift in Los Angeles, this case illustrates how a direct brow lift can be particularly effective in male patients when the degree of brow descent is significant enough that less direct approaches would not achieve comparable movement. Dr. Stoker noted that he selected this technique based on this patient's skin characteristics and the amount of lift required.[dr-stoker/">Dr. David Stoker</a>] is board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and practices at Stoker Plastic Surgery in Marina del Rey, California.
