If you’re noticing sagging eyebrows, deep forehead creases, or a tired upper eye appearance, a brow lift in Atlanta by Dr. Teri N. Moak can help. This procedure elevates your brow to reduce wrinkles and restore a youthful look, addressing both age-related changes and naturally low-set eyebrows.
The impact of heavy or low-set eyebrows
Heavy or low-set eyebrows can significantly affect your overall appearance, making you look tired, sad, or older than you feel. As we age, the skin loses its elasticity, leading to sagging eyebrows and deep forehead creases. Additionally, some individuals naturally have low-set eyebrows that create a perpetually furrowed or concerned look. These changes can diminish your confidence and how others perceive you. Addressing these issues through a brow lift can restore a more youthful, refreshed, and approachable appearance.
What is a brow lift?
A brow lift is a cosmetic procedure that elevates the skin and tissues of the forehead and eyebrow area. This surgery corrects sagging or low-set eyebrows and reduces deep horizontal creases across the forehead and between the eyebrows. By lifting the brow, the procedure creates a more youthful, rested, and refreshed appearance. It also addresses the heavy upper eye region that can develop with age or due to genetics. A brow lift in Atlanta can significantly enhance facial symmetry and improve overall aesthetic harmony.
You may be a candidate for a brow lift if:
- You have sagging or low-set eyebrows
- You notice deep horizontal creases across your forehead
- You have a furrowed brow with vertical lines between your eyebrows

- You want to improve facial symmetry and contour
- You are a nonsmoker or willing to quit smoking before surgery

- Heavy or tired appearance of the upper eye region
- Uneven eyebrow positioning
- Wrinkles and fine lines on the forehead

What happens during your brow lift procedure?
Dr. Moak uses the endoscopic brow lift in Atlanta technique for minimal invasiveness. You will be given general anesthesia, following which small incisions are made within the hairline, hidden from view. Through these incisions, Dr. Moak inserts an endoscope, a small camera, to guide the surgery. She lifts and repositions the underlying muscles and tissues, securing them to a higher position. Excess skin may be trimmed to smooth the forehead. The incisions are then carefully closed, and you will be placed in supportive dressings for recovery.
What is the recovery following a brow lift?
After your brow lift, you can expect some pain and swelling in the first few days. Dr. Moak will provide pain medication and detailed post-operative instructions. Incisions typically heal within 2-3 weeks, and you can generally return to work in 1-2 weeks, depending on your job. Initially, you’ll have activity restrictions to control blood pressure, but most people resume full activities in 4-6 weeks. Dr. Moak will monitor your progress to ensure a smooth recovery.
Brow lift FAQs
What other procedures are sometimes done at the same time as a brow lift?
If you’re concerned about sagging along the jawline, cheeks, or neck, consider combining your brow lift in Atlanta with a facelift or neck lift. Eyelid contouring surgery (blepharoplasty) can address signs of aging in the upper and lower eyelids. Fillers and Botox treatments can enhance your brow lift results by addressing lines and hollows not corrected by the lift.
Will there be visible scars after a brow lift?
Dr. Moak uses the endoscopic technique, which involves minimal incisions hidden within the hairline. This approach minimizes visible scarring.
How long do the results of a brow lift last?
The results of a brow lift can last for several years, though the aging process will continue. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and following a good skincare regimen can prolong the results.
