Restore a more youthful, refreshed appearance with a brow lift in Bethesda. Dr. Daniel Tran, a fellowship-trained facial plastic surgeon with over 15 years of surgical experience and an artistic eye, can address sagging brows, forehead wrinkles, and frown lines.
Restore a Smoother, More Youthful Forehead
An endoscopic brow lift is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that elevates sagging eyebrows and smooths forehead wrinkles and frown lines. Through several small incisions concealed within the hairline, Dr. Tran inserts a tiny camera called an endoscope to visualize underlying tissues and precisely reposition the brow. This allows for smaller incisions than traditional techniques, with potentially less scarring and a shorter recovery period, while preserving your natural facial expressions and creating a refreshed appearance.
Brow Lift Treats:
- Sagging or drooping eyebrows
- Deep horizontal forehead wrinkles
- Frown lines between the eyebrows
- Heavy brows that contribute to hooded upper eyelids
- Low or uneven eyebrow positioning
- A tired, angry, or aged facial expression
- Loss of youthful brow contours

Combine Your Brow Lift with Upper Blepharoplasty
A brow lift addresses sagging eyebrows, forehead wrinkles, and frown lines by repositioning the underlying tissues of the forehead and brow. However, it does not directly remove excess skin or fat from the upper eyelids. If you have drooping brows alongside loose upper eyelid skin, a brow lift alone may not fully address the hooding around your eyes. These concerns often develop together but require different surgical approaches.
Dr. Tran can combine your brow lift in Bethesda with upper blepharoplasty for comprehensive rejuvenation. While the brow lift elevates and repositions your eyebrows, upper blepharoplasty removes excess eyelid skin and, when appropriate, adjusts the underlying fat. Together, these surgeries can create a smoother forehead, more open-looking eyes, and a refreshed appearance while preserving your natural features and expressions.
Benefits of an Endoscopic Brow Lift:
- Smaller, discreet incisions concealed within the hairline
- Less visible scarring compared to traditional brow lift techniques
- Precise repositioning of sagging eyebrows and forehead tissues
- Smoother forehead wrinkles and frown lines
- A more youthful, refreshed, and approachable expression
- Natural-looking results that preserve your facial features
- Less disruption to surrounding tissues
- Potentially reduced swelling and bruising
- Shorter recovery time compared to open techniques
- Long-lasting facial rejuvenation without an overly lifted appearance
Your Brow Lift Surgery
Your brow lift in Bethesda begins with Dr. Tran carefully evaluating your anatomy, eyebrow position, and goals to develop a surgical plan. Before surgery, he marks the areas that need lifting and determines the placement of your incisions. The procedure is then typically performed under general anesthesia or intravenous sedation with local anesthesia. Dr. Tran makes several small incisions hidden within your hairline, minimizing visible scarring.
Through one incision, Dr. Tran inserts an endoscope, a slender instrument equipped with a tiny camera and light. This provides a magnified view of the forehead tissues on a monitor. Using specialized surgical instruments inserted through the remaining incisions, he carefully releases and repositions the tissues responsible for brow descent. He may also target the muscles that contribute to prominent frown lines between your eyebrows.
Once your eyebrows are positioned as planned, Dr. Tran secures the underlying tissues with appropriate fixation techniques. He then closes the incisions with sutures or surgical staples and may apply a protective dressing. The procedure generally takes one to two hours, depending on your anatomy and whether additional procedures are performed.
Recovery After Brow Lift
After your Bethesda brow lift, you can expect temporary swelling, bruising, tightness, and mild discomfort around your forehead and eyes. Some numbness or altered sensation near the incisions is also common. Most patients resume light activities within several days and return to work within 10 to 14 days, depending on healing. You’ll need to keep your head elevated, avoid strenuous exercise, and follow Dr. Tran’s instructions for incision care.
Swelling gradually subsides over several weeks, revealing smoother forehead contours and a more elevated brow position. Final results typically become apparent within three to six months as tissues settle and incisions mature. The results can last many years, although natural aging continues. At Dassoulas Plastic Surgery, we also offer postoperative laser scar treatments for all appropriate candidates to help improve scar appearance.
