Forehead Lift Surgeon in Minneapolis / St. Paul – Harrington Plastic Surgery
Also Serving Brow Lift Patients in Edina, Plymouth, Wayzata and the
Surrounding Area
Brow lift surgery, also known as forehead lift, is a highly desired cosmetic procedure among Minneapolis plastic surgery patients seeking facial rejuvenation. It is designed to soften creases and folds across the forehead, reduce frown lines and lift the eyebrows, resulting in a more youthful, rejuvenated appearance.
Dr. Harrington is a qualified facial rejuvenation surgeon who utilizes years of experience and fine-tuned aesthetic judgment to reposition the muscles of the forehead, thus raising the brow line. She holds advanced training in several brow lift methods, including the latest endoscopic technique. Depending on your aesthetic desires and current condition, Dr. Harrington and her staff will help you determine which forehead lift method is best for you.
In severe cases, Dr. Harrington may utilize the conventional-incision method, which involves a long horizontal incision along the hairline. For mild to moderate cases, she may use a less invasive endoscopic method, which involves three small incisions and advanced surgical tools. During the procedure, Dr. Harrington will remove excess skin, fat and muscle on the forehead and eyebrows, creating a more aesthetically pleasing facial appearance.
How Do I Determine if Brow Lift/Forehead Is Right for Me?
Brow "ptosis," or sagging, is generally a result of the aging process, during which the skin becomes stretched and can no longer support the brows in their normal position. This can lead to forehead wrinkles and lines, an overall fatigued appearance and, in extreme cases, hooding of the upper eyelids, which can result in partial loss of peripheral vision.
The best candidates for a brow lift are patients who:
- Have a sagging forehead or eyebrows
- Are self-conscious due to deep horizontal creases across their forehead
- Suffer from deep frown lines between the eyebrows or across the top of the nose

Forehead Lift/Brow Lift Postoperative Care and Recovery
The recovery process following a forehead lift greatly depends on the method used. Although brow lift is a serious surgical procedure associated with swelling, bruising and extensive recuperation time, most patients who undergo forehead lift with Dr. Harrington report a speedy recovery and minimal complications. Dr. Harrington's utmost concern is the comfort and safety of each and every patient.
