Brow Restoration with Dr. Regina Rodman: It's Not Your Mother's Brow Lift!

Published on November 12, 2025 by Face Forward Houston

To some people, browlift sounds like a scary word, but it should not! Maybe you've seen pictures of people who had one and looked a little…surprised? In the past, some brow lift surgeries could pull people's eyebrows too high and in the wrong area, and the results did not look natural. Understandably, that scared some patients away because no one wants to look permanently surprised. 

The good news is things have changed! Today, advanced brow lift surgery, or what Dr. Regina Rodman calls brow restoration, focuses on creating a natural, youthful look instead of an exaggerated arch. Her results make you look like you got a full night's rest,not surgery. It's not just about lifting anymore; it's about restoration.

Why Some Browlifts Looked “Overdone”

In traditional brow lift surgery, doctors often pulled the entire brow straight up. Sometimes the center of the brow was raised too much, creating a sharp, unnatural arch (think cartoon characters or even the “golden arches” fast-food sign). This made the face look permanently surprised instead of refreshed. Dr. Rodman understands nobody wants that look.

Dr. Rodman’s Modern Approach

Dr. Rodman specializes in customized brow restoration. Instead of lifting everything the same amount, she studies your natural facial balance and restores the brows to where they naturally sat when you were younger.

👉 Here’s the key:

• As we age, the outer part of the eyebrows (near the temples) tends to droop more than the middle.
• This sagging at the sides of the eyebrow pulls the skin down over the eyes, making you look tired, sad, or older than you feel.

• Most people don’t actually need the center of their brows lifted much, they mainly need the outer corners restored.
• Dr. Rodman rotates the brow back to it’s youthful position, by focusing on lifting only the parts that have drooped. 
• She lifts each part of the brow a different amount, and in a direction that is natural to the patient’s anatomy. Never straight up! 
• She also lifts the upper cheek along with the brow, restoring volume and tightening the lower eyelid.

The Results: Natural and Refreshed

So, Dr. Rodman's patients aren't really getting a "brow lift" in the old sense. They're getting a brow restoration! Because she uses advanced techniques and pays close attention to each person's unique face. With Dr. Rodman’s brow restoration technique, patients don’t get a dramatic “surgical” look. Instead, they appear younger, brighter, and like themselves…the refreshed version of themselves. Friends may notice you look rested or happy, but they won’t think you’ve had something “done.”
