Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon Dr. Gary Breslow can help you achieve a more youthful, refreshed appearance with cosmetic brow lift surgery in Paramus, New Jersey. Over time, the brow line can naturally droop due to gravity, sun exposure, and facial muscle movement. This can create a tired or even angry expression, even when you’re feeling happy and energetic.
Dr. Breslow, with his extensive experience and expertise, performs a customized brow lift procedure to elevate your eyebrows to a more youthful position. The result is a smoother forehead, minimized frown lines, and brighter, more open eyes. This can dramatically improve your overall appearance, leaving you looking and feeling more rejuvenated and confident.
The surgeons of the Breslow Center for Plastic Surgery perform brow lift surgery to raise a sagging eyebrow line that hangs too low over the eyes. Raising a drooping brow line improves the look of severe forehead wrinkles, including the furrows that extend horizontally across the forehead, making patients appear worried, frustrated, or depressed. The procedure can also address the vertical lines that often appear between the eyebrows, as well as crow’s feet, the network of fine lines that develops around the outer corners of the eyes. Whether the drooping eyebrow line is an inherited trait present since youth or a more recent development with age, brow lift surgery can help.
Dr. Breslow performs endoscopic brow lift surgery when medically appropriate for patients. The endoscopic approach to brow lift involves making multiple small incisions above the hairline, through which the surgical instruments are inserted.
As the name suggests, one of the main surgical instruments used in endoscopic surgery is the endoscope, a long, thin device with a camera at the tip. The camera relays a video feed from the treatment area interior to a monitor in the operating room, allowing the surgeon to monitor the surgical progress.
In contrast to the traditional “open” approach to brow lift surgery, which involves a longer incision along the inside of the hairline (i.e., a coronal, or headphone-shaped, incision), the less invasive endoscopic method typically requires a faster, less intense recovery. However, the endoscopic approach to brow lift surgery yields the same rejuvenating results.
For patients with a hairline that is too high to accommodate an endoscopic brow lift, the surgeon may make a trichophytic or a wavy incision along the hairline to decrease the height of the forehead skin.
Individuals who do not have facial lines between their eyebrows may be suitable candidates for a temporal brow lift, which uses smaller incisions at the temples and within the scalp. Although this technique is less invasive than the others, it only lifts the outer portion of the brow line.
During consultation, the doctor will assess the degree of rejuvenation needed across the brow line, the height of the forehead, and other factors to determine the best approach to help the patient achieve their desired results. The surgeon may also recommend combining brow lift surgery with another procedure, such as eyelid surgery, to provide a refreshed look throughout the upper face; or BOTOX Cosmetic treatment, to optimize the rejuvenating effects of the procedure and help prevent forehead furrows, or “worry” lines, from reappearing.
This procedure is the definitive solution for horizontal forehead lines, "frown lines" between the eyebrows, and sagging brows that hang over the upper eyelids. It is particularly effective for patients who constantly raise their eyebrows to see better or appear more awake. By resolving brow heaviness, the surgery removes the "angry" or "tired" mask that facial aging can create.
A brow lift has the ability to noticeably brighten the entire face. When the brows are in their proper position, the eyes appear larger and more vibrant. Because Dr. Breslow focuses on natural repositioning rather than over-tightening, your expressions remain fluid and authentic. Many patients find they no longer need as much Botox® on the forehead, and makeup application becomes much easier on a smoother, lifted canvas.
The ideal candidate for a brow lift is someone bothered by forehead wrinkles or a drooping brow that interferes with their facial aesthetics.
You should be in good health and have realistic expectations about the subtle, elegant nature of this surgical rejuvenation. During your consultation in Paramus, Dr. Breslow will evaluate your hairline, skin quality, and eye position to determine if a brow lift alone or a combination with an eyelid lift (blepharoplasty) will achieve your goals.
Recovery from a brow lift is typically smooth. For the first few days, you may experience minor swelling and tightness, which can be managed with cold compresses and standard care. Most patients feel confident returning to work and social activities within a week or ten days. The results are a lasting investment in your appearance—the forehead appears calmer, the eyes more open, and the entire face takes on a well-rested glow that often endures for a decade or more.
The transformation following a brow lift is one of the most rewarding shifts in facial rejuvenation. Almost immediately, you will notice a weight has been lifted from your eyes. The heavy, hooded appearance that often causes a tired or stern expression is replaced by a bright, open gaze. The deep, horizontal furrows across the forehead and the frustrated "11" lines between the brows are smoothed away, leaving you with a serene and rested appearance.
While initial refinement is visible as soon as the dressings are removed, your final, polished results will emerge over the first few weeks as minor swelling and bruising subside, revealing a naturally elevated profile that looks entirely like you, only more vibrant.

No. Dr. Breslow’s surgical technique focuses on a natural, subtle elevation. The goal is to return the brow to its youthful position, not to pull it unnaturally high. You will look like a refreshed version of yourself, never "startled."
No, but they are often performed together. A brow lift addresses the forehead and the position of the eyebrows, while an eyelid lift (blepharoplasty) removes excess skin and fat specifically from the upper and/or lower eyelids. Dr. Breslow will help you determine which option is best for your anatomy.
Incisions for an endoscopic brow lift are very small and hidden within the hairline, making them virtually invisible once healed. Even with other techniques, incisions are strategically placed to blend into the natural contours of the scalp.
While the aging process continues, the structural changes made during a brow lift are permanent. Most patients enjoy a more youthful appearance for 10 to 15 years, after which the natural effects of gravity may become noticeable again.
The cost of a brow lift varies depending on the surgical technique used and whether it is combined with other procedures. During your initial consultation, we provide a full, transparent breakdown of fees, including the surgeon's fee, facility costs, and anesthesia.
Botox can provide a very subtle "chemical brow lift" by relaxing the muscles that pull the brow down. However, for significant sagging or deep wrinkles, a surgical brow lift is the only way to achieve a dramatic, long-lasting transformation.
