Brow Lift in Chicago, IL

Brow lift surgery (also called a browplasty or forehead lift) is a popular aesthetic surgery used to address signs of aging around the brow and forehead. A droopy brow can oftentimes create a tired or angry appearance. This procedure surgically corrects a drooping brow to create a refreshed face by eliminating excess skin while lifting the eyebrows. As an experienced plastic surgeon, Dr. Lawrence Iteld has helped many Chicago, IL patients achieve a younger, lifted look with brow lift surgery. To learn more about brow lift surgery, including whether or not it's right for you, schedule a consultation with our skilled team at Iteld Plastic Surgery.

Your brow lift procedure at Iteld Plastic Surgery may be performed with traditional anesthesia or narcotics-free medications, depending on your needs and preferences. The incision used in a brow lift is chosen based on the degree of sagging, if the forehead is affected, and the position of the hairline. Some of the many techniques that may be used include:

  • Traditional incision
    Also called the open lift incision, this puts the incision at the top of the head behind the hairline. This incision not only conceals scars but also provides a certain amount of controlled lifting during the surgery. The open incision is good for those with both a sagging brow and frown lines. The traditional brow lift is the ideal method for patients who are concerned about a receding hairline.
  • Trichophytic incision
    This incision is placed right against the hairline. A trichophytic incision allows significant lift in the brow for patients who have a low risk for hairline recession.
  • Lateral brow lift
    Also called a temporal brow lift, the lateral technique places the incision within the hairline slightly over the temples. A temporal incision permits the outer parts of the brow to be treated and helps sagging that is visible in the outer brow. The lateral technique also helps to correct Crow’s feet.
  • Endoscopic forehead lift
    A more sophisticated approach to brow lift surgery, this technique involves several small incisions beyond the hairline and the insertion of a tool known as an endoscope, which travels to the eyebrow to release its attachments. Using the endoscope's camera, the brow tissue is suspended with stitches to lift the brow to its higher position.

A sagging or heavy brow can give the impression that you're always tired or annoyed. For individuals wishing for a more alert, refreshed appearance, brow lift surgery at Iteld Plastic Surgery offers a number of benefits, such as:

  • Raises the natural eyebrow shape
  • Expands the eyes for a more "awake" look
  • Lessens the "worn down and angry" look
  • Minimizes upper eye sagging
  • Minimizes Crow's feet
  • Treats fine lines, folds, and wrinkles

The entire staff here was so amazing, I cannot recommend them enough! I had top surgery with Dr. Iteld and he, and the entire staff, were extremely welcoming, kind, and so supportive every step of the way. They are extremely affirming and take the time to make sure you have all your questions answered and feel comfortable. I had never had any surgery before and everyone at this location made me feel so at ease. And my results are AMAZING! I am so grateful to Dr. Iteld and his entire team for going above and beyond to help me through this process and for giving me a chest that I love! I truly cannot thank everyone enough for what they have given me.

275cc, mods, overs, 35 y/o, 125lbs, 5'5, 2 kids, 32A - A long time coming, the goal being to look proportionate and go from an A to a small C at the most. It’s more so about the look than the final cup size though! I have forever desired boobs, since I was a teenager! Just never happened for me. Dr. Iteld’s team was great and patient with me. I was eternally toying between 250, 275, 295 cc (with the understanding that what they put into your bod is roughly 25 cc more than the sizer you select). Ended up with a 275 cc implant, moderate profile, Allergan brand gel. The recovery has been crazy smooth. I feel great, out walking around but being very careful. I went out to dinner the night after the surgery, guys! Just be smart. Don’t overdo it. No one wants to end up back in the OR. CANNOT wait to see how these drop and look long term!Updated on 4 Mar 2024:Crazy to already notice a difference from day 1 to day 4 post op! I think these will be EXACTLY what I was looking for once they settle. Wish I could hit fast forward for a month. Still no pain. If anything this dang bra is the itchy and annoying part. Just by the straps due to the fabric weaving. I’m being VERY careful with my 2 and 4 year old. Definitely a challenge so make sure you have help constantly. Just remember it’s temporary!Updated on 7 Mar 2024:Day 7! My check-up is tomorrow! My left boob is a bit more swollen than the right, you can tell even the nipple is still puffy and a hair larger, while the right is responsive to the cold in this photo and not swollen. Super normal, not worried about it. You can see from the side photo that the “upper pole” of the breast looks a little less poofy as well as on the sides. Slow n steady!I can’t feel my nipples and the immediate area around, but each day I slowly get more feeling. Apparently this can take a few weeks. Overall still very happy with them and the healing process. Zero pain! Ready to get rid of this granny bra!

I have no complaints about my experience with Dr. Iteld and his team. The team is full of friendly and warm individuals. The team tries (and succeeds) to make a welcoming environment for all parties. My consultation, surgery, and post-op appointments were better than expected. Dr. Iteld's approach to post-op care is the best. I have recommended his office to any friends, family, and colleagues who desire any kind plastic surgeries.

Dr. Iteld and his team are amazing! I don't think I've ever received such a thorough and understandable explanation of what was going to happen or what I needed to do pre- and post-op or why. I'm still healing, but I can already see the amazing results! Bonus: he's a nice guy (unlike some surgeons that I've had). Highly recommend!
