Browlift in San Diego

A sagging or heavy brow can cast shadows over your eyes and shift your expression in ways that don’t match how you feel. At Dr. Mark Mofid’s practice, he conducts expert brow lift surgery for patients across San Diego, La Jolla, and Chula Vista who want to brighten their look with natural, long-lasting results.

What Is a Brow Lift?

A brow lift, or a forehead lift, elevates the eyebrows and smooths out deep creases on the upper face. Raising soft tissue and skin above the eyes can create a more youthful appearance. This treatment is often recommended for those bothered by drooping brows, forehead wrinkles, or a heavy upper lid area.

Benefits of a Brow Lift

This procedure offers both aesthetic and practical benefits. These may include:

• Smoother, tighter forehead skin
• Less sagging above the eyes
• A softer, more approachable expression
• Better visibility in cases where sagging brows block the visual field

Depending on your goals, it’s also a strong complement to eyelid surgery or a facelift.

Brow Lift Techniques Offered

Dr. Mofid primarily performs the endoscopic brow lift, a minimally invasive procedure using small incisions hidden within the hairline. This approach lifts the forehead and repositions the brows to a more youthful, natural position while avoiding the need for large, visible incisions. It’s performed on an outpatient basis and usually takes about one and a half to two hours.

This method is ideal for patients with forehead creases, brow drooping (ptosis), or pronounced frown lines between the brows. Absorbable devices like Endotine hold the tissue in its new position without permanent hardware.

Other techniques may be considered based on your specific anatomy or surgical goals. Non-surgical alternatives, including Botox and dermal fillers, may temporarily improve mild cases.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

If you’re struggling with forehead lines, drooping eyebrows, or upper eyelid heaviness, a brow lift may help. Ideal candidates typically include:

• Adults with visible brow ptosis (drooping brows)
• Individuals with horizontal forehead wrinkles or deep frown lines
• Non-smokers generally in good health
• Patients with realistic expectations and no major medical concerns

A consultation with Dr. Mofid can help determine if this procedure is right for your facial anatomy and aesthetic goals.

What to Expect During Surgery

The brow lift procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia and takes approximately one and a half to two hours. Small incisions are made discreetly within the hair-bearing scalp to access and lift the brow area. Dr. Mofid releases the tissue using specialized instruments and repositions it to a more youthful placement.

Absorbable fixation devices, such as Endotine, support the brows during healing. These hold the tissues in place without permanent implants. Throughout the procedure, care is taken to minimize trauma to the surrounding structures and preserve a natural-looking result.

Once the adjustments are made, the incisions are carefully closed, and patients are moved to recovery. Since the approach is minimally invasive, most patients can return home the same day with detailed aftercare instructions.

Recovery & Results

Expect mild swelling or bruising for the first week. Most patients feel ready to return to non-strenuous work within 7–10 days. More active routines may be resumed in two to four weeks. Results improve as swelling fades, revealing a more lifted and awake appearance.
