The Pretrichial Eyebrow/ Forehead
 The Pretrichial
Eyebrow/ Forehead Lift requires a long incision. This procedure is ideal
for patients who want to both lift the eyebrows and raise and shorten
the forehead by removing a strip of skin and underlying tissue along the
incision. Because the forehead is shortened, the hairline is lowered
which is ideal for those with a high forehead. This procedure lifts
everything from the hairline down to the eyebrows and can address
eyebrow shape and asymmetry. The scar from the incision, once healed, is
virtually undetectable. Following the procedure there will be some bruising and swelling.
Patients usually return to their normal daily routine in 2 – 3 weeks.
The “Gull Wing” or Direct Brow Lift
 The “Gull Wing” or Direct Brow Lift
requires removing a section of skin and underlying tissue above and
following the length of the eyebrows. This procedure is ideal for those
who do not want to involve the hairline. The “Gull Wing” beautifully
lifts a sagging brow while tightening and smoothing the forehead by
pulling the skin and tissue of the forehead down rather than up. It
therefore lowers the hairline which is ideal for a receding hairline
and/ or a high forehead. This procedure also addresses eyebrow shape and
asymmetry. Care is taken to position the scar just along the eyebrows so
that it is maximally camouflaged as shown below. Patients will
experience some bruising and swelling following the procedure. They are
usually comfortable returning to their normal routine activities in
about 2 weeks.
Who Should Perform
Eyebrow/Forehead Lifting?
When choosing a surgeon to perform an Eyebrow/ Forehead Lift, look for a
cosmetic and reconstructive facial surgeon who specializes in the
eyelids, orbit, and the adjacent structures such as the eyebrows,
forehead, cheeks and midface. It’s also important that he or she has
completed an American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive
Surgery (ASOPRS) fellowship. This indicates your surgeon is not only a
board certified ophthalmologist who knows the anatomy and structure of
the eyelids and orbit and all surrounding areas, but also has had
extensive training in ophthalmic plastic reconstructive
and cosmetic
surgery. Dr. Shorr is Director of the Fellowship in Ophthalmic Plastic
Reconstructive and Cosmetic Surgery at the Jules Stein Eye Institute,
UCLA School of Medicine. He and his associates are board certified
ophthalmologists as well as ophthalmic plastic reconstructive and
cosmetic facial surgeons who have completed an ASOPRS fellowship.
Dr. Norman Shorr is an early pioneer and innovator of many cosmetic and
reconstructive eyelid, eyebrow, forehead and midface procedures
