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.
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 Browlift 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.
Restore Your Natural Arch

Schedule a ConsultationBefore you can have your Brow Lift procedure done, you might have to make some lifestyle adjustments. You will get detailed instructions from Dr. Rodman that you will need to adhere to in order to experience the best results. These instructions will require you to stop smoking, drinking alcohol, and taking certain medications in the time leading up to the procedure and for some time after. Dr. Rodman will ask you about your medical history to determine if you’d make a good fit for the procedure. During your consultation, Dr Rodman will perform an examination of your facial features and develop a plan that is best for your face and your aesthetic goals. Patients undergoing a Brow Lift should be in good physical health and have realistic expectations.
There are two ways of performing Brow Lift surgery. Either a Open Brow Liftor an Endoscopic Brow Lift will be used, depending on your individual needs. Dr. Rodman will discuss the options with you at your consultation.
Using the traditional method is more extensive and requires one continuous incision made across your hairline. This method allows for reduction of the vertical height of the forehead, and better correction of asymmetry, but also requires a larger scar and may lead to a longer recovery time.
The limited incision or endoscopic brow lift can achieve the same results in the brow area but does not reduce the size of the forehead. Dr. Rodman makes a few short incisions in the hair-bearing scalp to insert a small camera into the treatment area. This allows her to see the area clearly without making a full incision. Since the incisions are small, this procedure is considered less invasive than an open Brow Lift. Also, you will have a shorter recovery period and minimal scarring.
Face Your Future
After a Brow Lift, patients can look forward to visible improvements in their appearance. While initial swelling and bruising can temporarily mask results, noticeable changes typically become apparent once these effects subside, usually in just a few weeks. It can take as much as several months for the final results to manifest as residual swelling dissipates and tissues settle into their new position.
During the recovery from a Brow Lift Houston patients may have their forehead and head taped or gently covered to reduce swelling and bruising following the treatment. Make sure to ask your facial plastic surgeon specific questions regarding your recovery period. Most patients are able to go back to work after one week and begin resuming all normal activities after two weeks. Pain from this procedure is minimal, but patients often report a feeling of tightness for the first week after surgery. Bruising is possible and may result in bruising around the eye area that lasts around seven to ten days.
Post-treatment life involves some downtime, during which patients should avoid strenuous activities, bending over, and lifting heavy objects to minimize strain on the surgical site and reduce the risk of complications. Additionally, refraining from smoking and alcohol consumption can aid in the healing process and optimize outcomes. Patients should adhere to the surgeon's post-operative instructions diligently, which may include avoiding certain medications that could increase bleeding risk.
Incision care is crucial for optimal healing and scar prevention. Patients should keep the incision sites clean and dry as instructed by their surgeon and avoid exposing them to direct sunlight to prevent hyperpigmentation. Applying recommended topical treatments, such as silicone gel or sheets, can also help minimize scarring and promote favorable outcomes.
To maintain results long-term, patients should adopt a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise routine. Protecting the skin from sun exposure by wearing sunscreen and hats is essential to prevent premature aging and maintain the longevity of the results. Routine follow-up appointments with the surgeon allow for monitoring of progress and addressing any concerns that may arise, ensuring lasting satisfaction with the outcomes of the Brow Lift procedure.
