Brow Lift Surgery in Ottawa with Dr. Ian MacArthur
Brow lift surgery, also known as a forehead lift, is a cosmetic procedure that reduces the appearance of sagging eyebrows, forehead wrinkles, and frown lines. Over time, factors such as age, genetics, gravity, and sun exposure can cause the skin to lose its elasticity, leading to a drooping brow. A brow lift can restore a more youthful, refreshed look to the forehead area.
Dr. MacArthur is a top-rated Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in Ottawa specializing in brow lift surgery. He is the Medical Director at New Age Medical Aesthetics & Plastic Surgery, one of the busiest surgical centers in the city.
The Benefits of a Brow Lift:
A brow lift can offer a more youthful, refreshed look, eliminating the tired or sad appearance that sagging brows can give.
With the physical change comes a psychological uplift. Looking good often translates to feeling good, bolstering self-confidence in various facets of life.
For some, sagging brows can impede vision. A brow lift can restore a clearer line of sight.
During surgery, Dr. MacArthur implements modern brow lift techniques for the most natural results.
What to Expect During Surgery:
This method uses a small camera and instruments inserted through tiny incisions behind the hairline. This technique allows for minimal scarring.
An incision is made from ear to ear behind the hairline. The forehead skin is lifted, and excess tissue is removed.
An incision is made between the top of the forehead and the beginning of the hairline. This technique is optimal for those who have a high-receding hairline.
The procedure typically takes one to two hours; most patients receive general anesthesia.
How to Prepare for Surgery:
You will discuss your aesthetic goals in detail and Dr. MacArthur will answer all of your questions during your initial consultation.
Avoid medications or supplements that can increase bleeding, such as aspirin, for about a week before surgery.
If you're a smoker, you'll be asked to stop smoking well before surgery, as it can delay healing.
Make sure you have someone available to drive you home post-surgery and assist you for the first day.
What to Expect After Surgery:
You might experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort. Cold compresses and medications prescribed by Dr. MacArthur can help manage these symptoms.
Most people can return to work or normal activities within a week or two. However, strenuous activities, including heavy lifting, should be avoided for at least a few weeks.
The results of a brow lift can last several years. However, nothing can stop the natural aging process. Regular skin care and protection from the sun can help maintain the youthful appearance achieved by surgery.
Ensure you have someone available to assist you for the first day of recovery.
Frequently Asked Questions About Brow Lift Surgery
Brow lift surgery can last from 45 minutes to a couple of hours.
Is a brow lift permanent?
While a brow lift provides long-lasting results, it doesn't stop the natural aging process. Over time, you may see gradual changes in your appearance.
How is a brow lift different from Botox?
A brow lift is a surgical procedure that adjusts the skin and muscles of the forehead. The results of a brow lift are long-lasting. Botox is an injectable treatment that temporarily paralyzes the muscles that cause wrinkles.

Yes, many patients combine a brow lift with other facial rejuvenation procedures like a facelift, eyelid surgery, and breast augmentation.
