Brow Lift in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
A brow lift raises the brows to a rested, natural position. It treats a heavy brow that pushes down on the upper lids. It can soften deep forehead lines and frown lines.
It is often paired with an eyelid lift for a balanced result.
How it works
What happens in the operating room.
- You get anesthesia (medicine that makes you sleep) or deep sedation.
- The surgeon makes small cuts hidden in the hair above the forehead.
- A thin camera (an endoscope) may be used to see under the skin through those small cuts.
- The tissues that pull the brow down are released.
- The brow is lifted and held in its new position with small anchors or stitches.
- The cuts are closed. Surgery takes about one to two hours.

The honest risk list — read it before your consult
Every surgery has risks. These are the main ones, in plain words — and we go over all of them with you in person.
- A numb or itchy scalp for weeks to months.
- Thin hair along the small scars. It usually recovers.
- Brows that sit unevenly and may need a touch-up.
- A surprised look if lifted too far. Careful planning avoids this.
- Bleeding. Some bleeding can need another trip to the operating room.
- Infection. Signs are spreading redness, warmth, pus, or fever.
- Scars. Every cut leaves a scar. Most fade over a year. Some stay raised or wide.
- Numb skin near the cuts. Feeling usually returns over months. Small areas can stay numb.
- Blood clots in the legs. A clot can travel to the lungs. That is an emergency.
- Problems from anesthesia (the medicine that makes you sleep). These are rare in healthy people.
- Uneven results. The two sides of the body are never a perfect match.
- The need for another surgery to fix a problem or improve the result.

When to call, day or night
- You have chest pain or trouble breathing. Call 911 first, then call us.
- One leg swells, or one calf hurts more than the other.
- You have a fever over 101 degrees.
- Blood soaks a bandage and does not slow down with gentle pressure.
- Redness spreads out from a cut, or you see pus.
- Your pain gets much worse instead of better.
