Brow Lift in Flowood, Mississippi

Elevate Your Look and Rejuvenate Your Expression

A brow lift is a specialized facial surgery designed to raise sagging eyebrows, smooth forehead wrinkles, and restore a more alert, refreshed expression. At Defy Facial Spa in Flowood, Mississippi, this procedure is performed by Dr. Michael Nichols, a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon with advanced training in facial aesthetics.

With age or genetics, the brow can descend and cause heaviness around the eyes, contributing to a tired or stern appearance. A brow lift corrects this by repositioning the underlying tissues and skin to restore youthful contours to the upper face. The result is a smoother, more balanced forehead and an eye area that looks naturally lifted.

What Does a Brow Lift Address?

A brow lift—also known as a forehead lift—can address both cosmetic and functional concerns, including:

• Drooping or low-set eyebrows
• Horizontal forehead lines and furrows
• Frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines)
• Hooding of the upper eyelids caused by brow descent

At Defy Facial Spa, brow lifts are carefully customized for each patient’s facial structure. In many cases, a brow lift is performed in combination with eyelid surgery or facial liposuction for more comprehensive rejuvenation.

Techniques and Personalization

Every brow lift at our Flowood location is tailored to individual needs and may involve different surgical approaches:

• Endoscopic Brow Lift – Uses small incisions hidden within the hairline and a camera-assisted technique to reposition tissues with minimal scarring.
• Coronal Brow Lift – Involves a longer incision across the scalp and is ideal for patients with deeper lines or more significant tissue descent.
• Temporal or Lateral Brow Lift – Targets the outer part of the brow, often used to correct asymmetry or for subtle enhancement.

During your consultation, Dr. Nichols will recommend the most appropriate technique based on your anatomy and goals. Our team may also suggest combining your brow lift with skin-enhancing treatments like chemical peels or microneedling for improved texture and tone.

What to Expect During Your Procedure

Initial Consultation
Your journey begins with a personalized consultation, where we assess your brow position, skin laxity, and overall facial balance. We also review your medical history and discuss your aesthetic goals.

Surgical Process
Depending on the technique used, the procedure may take 1–2 hours and is typically performed under general anesthesia. Incisions are strategically placed within the hairline or natural contours to minimize visibility.

Recovery Timeline
Most patients experience mild swelling and bruising for the first week, with return to normal activities in 10–14 days. Full results develop gradually over several weeks. To support healing, we may recommend ZO® Skincare or restorative facials as part of your aftercare plan.

If you're also considering a face and neck lift or rhinoplasty, these can often be coordinated for a more comprehensive outcome.

FAQs

Is a brow lift the same as Botox?
No. Botox can temporarily smooth forehead lines but doesn’t lift the brows or remove excess skin. A brow lift offers more lasting, structural improvement.

Will it change how I look?
The goal of a brow lift is to refresh your appearance—not change your identity. We focus on preserving your natural features while reducing signs of aging.

Are results permanent?
While a brow lift can’t stop the aging process, results typically last 10–15 years. Good skin care and healthy habits help prolong the effects.

What’s the difference between an upper eyelid lift and a brow lift?
A brow lift raises the brows and forehead area, while an eyelid lift removes excess skin from the eyelids. Many patients benefit from combining the two procedures for full rejuvenation of the upper face.
