Express Yourself
Your eyebrows play a vital role in defining your facial features and conveying your expressions. If brows are in a low position over the orbital rims, patients may look tired or convey a stern look. It may also make patients look angry. What each person wants and needs varies depending on the position, rotation, and shape of the eyebrow. A Brow Lift elevates the brows above the orbital rim, giving a younger, more refreshed appearance. Dr. Rodman will work with every Houston Brow Lift patient to meet their individual goals and bring balance and harmony to the patient’s face.
Look Refreshed and Bright
An Endoscopic Brow Lift is a cosmetic surgery that rejuvenates the eyes and upper face. The eyebrow can be rotated to move your eyebrows into a more youthful position. A Brow Lift can also change the shape of your eyebrow arch and help smooth out your forehead creases. During a Brow Lift Houston facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Rodman, can make discreet incisions in strategic places to give you your desired results without obvious scarring.
Also Known as Limited Incision Brow Lift
This method changes the position of the eyebrows by rotating them so they appear in a natural but younger position. Small incisions, no bigger than an inch, are made in the hair, just behind the hairline. An endoscope (a special camera) is used to see under the skin of the forehead, and surgical tools are used to lift the eyebrows. The small incisions are sutured carefully to keep scarring to a minimum.
The advantages of this limited incision technique include:
Many patients hear the term Brow Lift and hesitate because they do not want to look surprised! Dr. Rodman's technique rotates the brow and leads to a natural, refreshed look. Dr. Rodman understands that no patients want to look surprised or have the "golden arches" for eyebrows. Techniques that pull the brow straight up vertically can lead to these results. Dr. Rodman's Brow Lift technique is different. She frees all the brow tissue from its stuck-down position but lifts only the ends of the brows (lateral brows).
As we age, the sides of the brows droop more than the center of the brows. To restore a youthful look, the sides of the brows need to be lifted more than the rest. The angle at which they need to be lifted varies for each patient and each face. The result is brow rotation instead of a straight lift.
To see for yourself, put your finger at your hairline directly above your eye and then push up. This is the straight lift that often results in an odd, unnatural look. Now, put your fingers on your hairline in a diagonal line from the corner of your eye and lift up. See how this creates rotation? It gives lift but without looking surprised or unnatural. Dr. Rodman's technique creates a result similar to the second lift. It lifts the brow that has descended with time and age and rotates it back into a youthful position.
look younger
The primary distinction between a Brow Lift and a facelift is the area the lift targets and the location of the incisions on the face. The main targets of a Brow Lift are the skin and tissues around the eyes and the forehead. A facelift targets the lower face and neck, creating a lift along the jawline. A facelift can help you look younger by lifting the tissues of the neck and jaw. A Brow Lift is an option if you want to rejuvenate your eye area and upper face.
Undergoing a brow lift offers numerous aesthetic and psychological benefits:
A brow lift is effective in treating various signs of aging and aesthetic concerns, including:
Endoscopic Brow Lift candidates typically exhibit signs of aging, such as sagging brows, looking tired, looking sad, or having heavy-looking eyes. Ideal candidates are in good overall health, non-smokers, and have realistic expectations. Contraindications may include certain medical conditions like uncontrolled high blood pressure, autoimmune diseases, or allergies to anesthesia. While age isn't a strict disqualifier, older patients may have different expectations or risks. Consultation with a qualified surgeon is essential to determine candidacy and discuss potential risks and benefits. Brow Lift surgery addresses aesthetic concerns, rejuvenating the upper face and restoring a more youthful appearance.

Using an endoscope (a thin, lighted camera), Dr. Rodman can visualize and adjust the underlying tissues with precision. Brow lift benefits include reduced scarring, shorter recovery time, and less postoperative discomfort.
The open brow lift involves a longer incision across the top of the scalp, hidden within the hair. This technique provides greater access for significant tissue repositioning and is often recommended for patients with substantial brow sagging or asymmetry. While recovery may be slightly longer, the results are comprehensive and long-lasting.
Postoperative recovery is a crucial phase for healing and achieving the desired results. Patients can expect:
