What Are the Benefits of a Brow Lift?

The NaturaBrow™ lift offers numerous aesthetic and functional benefits. It restores a more youthful appearance and enhances facial harmony and confidence. Key benefits of a brow lift include:

  • Rejuvenates your appearance: Smooths forehead wrinkles, reduces frown lines, and lifts drooping eyebrows for a refreshed look.
  • Opens up the eyes: Enhances the natural contour of the brow, creating a more alert and approachable expression.
  • Improves facial symmetry: Balances asymmetrical brows for a more harmonious appearance.
  • Natural-looking results: With the NaturaBrow™ approach, results are subtle and blend seamlessly with your unique facial features.
  • Boosts self-esteem: Helps you feel more confident and youthful in your daily interactions.

How Is NaturaBrow® Different From the Classic Brow Lift?

Dr. Alizadeh developed and published his innovative approach after spending many years perfecting the technique in the lab and experimenting with various materials and methods to achieve long-lasting results. Initially trained in the classic coronal brow lift, which elevates the entire forehead as a unit, he found the long scar and recovery period unsatisfactory. 

To address these issues, he served as a medical advisor for multiple companies, evaluating the effects of various biomaterials, including screw fixation, endotine, mesh, and acellular dermal matrices. During this time, he also developed a natural “autologous” breast lift technique called the Naturabra, which has been shown to provide results lasting at least 20 years.

Applying the principles from his breast lift technique, Dr. Alizadeh focused on the brow lift by releasing and securing the lifted fascial component of the forehead. This approach enables a long-lasting result while minimizing both scars and recovery time. He further refined the procedure by incorporating fat grafting and exosomes, enhancing not only the brows's position but also the skin's texture and quality.

Now, he offers a one-hour "lunchtime" procedure that directly elevates the brows to the desired position, ensuring minimal discomfort and a quick recovery.

Reasons To Undergo The Naturabrow Procedure

Cosmoplastic Surgery patients who request a brow lift often complain of not only deep horizontal lines and creases, which can make them look angry and overly serious, but also a drooping, heavy brow, which makes their outer eye area and upper eyelids appear hooded and tired. The NaturaBrow® procedure, performed via a small incision hidden in the hairline, can address these concerns, smoothing out deep lines and furrows for a more relaxed, refreshed aesthetic.

Dr. Alizadeh has published a paper on the management of brow lifts and, as Associate Professor of Surgery at New York Medical College, has developed a technique that leads to rapid recovery while resulting in a natural and smooth brow shape.

What Is Exoboost™?

Dr. Alizadeh has developed Exoboost™, a technique that harnesses the body’s natural regenerative capabilities. Here’s what you need to know:

  • By applying advanced scientific principles and the latest technology, he processes adipocytes (fat cells) to extract nanoscale cellular mediators that guide the body in its rejuvenation process
  • This innovative approach has been used to enhance various treatments, including replenishing scalp hair follicles by applying Exoboost to the surrounding tissue and incorporating it into harvested hair follicles during a follicular unit extraction (FUE) hair transplant
  • Additionally, it improves the texture and pigmentation of facial skin during facial fat grafting and enhances the contour and long-lasting outcomes of his NaturaBra® and NaturaBrow® procedures

What Else Can Be Done With the NaturaBrow® Procedure?

Dr. Alizadeh may recommend an upper and/or lower eyelid lift (blepharoplasty) to eliminate excess skin, improve the shape of the eyelids, or remove excess fat and reset the soft tissue contour around the eye area.

He may also discuss the possibility of combining this procedure with other minimally invasive treatments, such as microlaser resurfacing, to address unwanted lines, lesions, or pigmentation.

Additionally, depending on your examination results and personal preferences, he may suggest skin tightening procedures like Sofwave, a Myellevate neck lift, or a more extensive deep plane facelift (NaturaFace®).

What to Expect Before, During, and After

Preparation

Preparing for a brow lift involves taking specific steps to ensure a smooth procedure and recovery process. Dr. Alizadeh provides detailed pre-operative instructions tailored to your needs, but general preparation includes the following:

  • Stop Smoking: If you smoke, stop at least four weeks before surgery, as smoking can interfere with healing.
  • Avoid Certain Medications: Discontinue blood-thinning medications, such as aspirin or anti-inflammatory drugs, as directed.
  • Follow Skincare Guidelines: Use recommended skincare products to optimize your skin's condition before the procedure.

Adhering to these guidelines helps minimize risks and enhances your overall results.

Consultation

Once you schedule an appointment with Cosmoplastic Surgery, Dr. Alizadeh will conduct an in-person examination and show you what to expect as your outcome in the mirror. Often, patients believe they need an eyelid lift, but what they may actually require is the quick NaturaBrow® procedure to achieve their goals. 

The team will then review the procedure plan with you, show examples of other patients with similar scenarios, take your photos, and secure your consent to the surgery.

Procedure

You will receive adequate sedation on the day of the procedure, and the operation will take approximately one hour.

The NaturaBrow® procedure is performed through a small incision hidden in the hairline, ensuring minimum post-op care and reducing the risk of hair loss because there are no drains or sutures to remove afterward. Swelling is kept to a minimum with the use of a surgical net after the operation, along with your own regenerative cells, which help reduce inflammation and enhance the surface skin with Exoboost™.

Recovery

It is essential to arrange for someone responsible to drive you home and stay with you during your recovery that evening. Most patients can resume normal daily activities the following day, and we recommend resuming all activities after three weeks. High-definition photography is possible after four to six weeks.

NaturaBrow® FAQ

Can a brow lift help with vision problems caused by a sagging brow?

Yes. Some patients experience heavy or drooping brows that obscure part of their field of vision. A brow lift can reduce excess skin and lessen any visual obstruction by elevating the brow to its natural position. In cases where the drooping brow significantly affects eyesight, you may also need an eyelid lift (blepharoplasty) to fully address vision concerns.

How long do NaturaBrow® results typically last?

While every patient is different, the specialized internal support provided by the NaturaBrow® method is designed to be long-lasting—often a decade or more. Factors such as your natural anatomy, genetics, lifestyle habits, and skincare regimen will influence how long your results remain at their peak. Following Dr. Alizadeh’s post-procedure instructions and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can help extend the benefits of your brow lift.

Is the NaturaBrow® procedure appropriate for men?

Absolutely. Men frequently undergo brow lifts, especially those with sagging brows that create an aged or perpetually tired appearance. Dr. Alizadeh takes special care to preserve a masculine brow shape, ensuring it appears naturally enhanced rather than over-lifted or 'surprised.' During the consultation, you’ll discuss aesthetic goals to ensure your brow shape aligns with your features.

Will a brow lift also address crow’s feet or wrinkles around my eyes?

A brow lift primarily focuses on repositioning and smoothing the forehead and brow area. It can soften wrinkles near the corners of the eyes to some degree by reducing overall tension. However, more pronounced crow’s feet or under-eye wrinkles may require additional treatments, such as BOTOX® or laser resurfacing, for optimal results.

Will I have any numbness or tightness in my forehead after surgery?

It is common to temporarily experience mild numbness or tightness in the forehead area as nerves and soft tissues heal. These sensations generally improve within a few weeks to months. During follow-up visits, Dr. Alizadeh will evaluate your recovery to ensure nerve function returns appropriately and that any residual tightness diminishes as expected.

Are there ways to maintain or enhance my brow lift results over time?

Absolutely. Good skincare, consistent sun protection, and a balanced diet all help preserve your surgical results. Non-surgical touch-ups—like occasional BOTOX®, dermal fillers, or laser treatments—can further rejuvenate the surrounding skin. Additionally, annual or biannual follow-up consultations with Dr. Alizadeh help monitor your progress and recommend updates to your routine as needed.

Will my forehead look 'overly lifted' or give me a permanently surprised expression?

Overly lifted, 'surprised' brows are typically the result of outdated or overly aggressive techniques. Dr. Alizadeh’s NaturaBrow® approach focuses on subtle, individualized elevation. Because each patient’s facial structure and brow position differ, he tailors the lift to achieve a refreshed yet natural look. During your consultation, he will demonstrate potential outcomes so you’ll know what to expect and avoid any overcorrected appearance.

Are there any age restrictions or special considerations for older vs. younger patients?

While most patients seeking a brow lift are in their 40s to 60s, there’s no strict 'cutoff' age. Individuals in their 30s sometimes pursue a brow lift for early signs of sagging, while those in their 70s or older can benefit if they’re in good overall health. When evaluating older patients, Dr. Alizadeh looks closely at skin quality, tissue health, and potential medical conditions that may impact healing. Younger patients typically have more elastic skin and may see faster recovery, but each candidate is assessed on a case-by-case basis.
