The eyes are often the first feature to reveal signs of fatigue and aging. Sagging brows, hooded lids, and subtle asymmetries can make even the most rested person appear tired or stern. While injectables and skincare can temporarily refresh your look, there comes a point where these treatments can no longer lift or shape the brows effectively. That’s where the modern brow lift comes in, a refined surgical approach that restores youthful expression and harmony to the upper face without looking “overdone.”
In Newport Beach, facial plastic surgeon Dr. Shabnam Ghazizadeh offers the latest brow lift techniques designed to elevate with artistry and precision. Known for her natural results and meticulous approach, Dr. Ghazizadeh helps patients achieve brighter, more open eyes while preserving their individuality and facial balance.
Why the Brow Area Ages First
The brow and forehead region is among the most expressive parts of the face. Years of smiling, frowning, and squinting, combined with gravity and collagen loss, cause the skin to stretch and descend. The result is a heaviness that pushes the brows downward, creating folds on the upper eyelids and an appearance of fatigue or frustration.
For many patients, this aging process begins earlier than expected, often in their 30s or 40s. The skin around the eyes is delicate, and even small changes in brow position can significantly affect facial expression.
A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, repositions the tissues of the upper face to restore a naturally elevated contour. The goal is not to make the brows appear surprised or exaggerated but to subtly return them to their youthful position, lifting the heaviness from the eyes and reawakening your expression.
The Modern Brow Lift: Subtle, Sophisticated, and Customized
Modern brow lifts are designed to restore youthfulness and openness to the upper face without altering natural expression. Unlike older techniques that sometimes produced an overly pulled or “surprised” look, today’s approaches focus on precision, harmony, and balance.
At Dr. Shabnam Ghazizadeh’s Newport Beach practice, brow lift surgery is fully tailored to each patient’s anatomy and goals. Dr. Ghazizadeh takes into account factors such as skin elasticity, forehead structure, and the natural position of the eyebrows to create an outcome that feels effortless and elegant.
The result is a refreshed, lifted appearance that enhances the eyes and restores definition to the upper face, without any sign of having had surgery. Whether performed as a standalone procedure or combined with complementary treatments such as eyelid surgery or facial rejuvenation, a modern brow lift can subtly enhance one’s entire expression.
What to Expect from Your Brow Lift Experience
Your journey begins with a personalized consultation at Dr. Ghazizadeh’s Newport Beach office, where she conducts a comprehensive evaluation of your facial structure, skin tone, and aesthetic goals. This one-on-one assessment ensures that every surgical plan is fully tailored to your needs.
During surgery, advanced techniques are used to minimize trauma and preserve the natural movement of the forehead and eyes. Most procedures are performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the case.
Recovery is typically smooth, with most patients returning to work or social activities within 10 to 14 days. Mild swelling and tightness may occur initially, but these fade quickly as the tissues heal. Dr. Ghazizadeh provides detailed post-care guidance and follow-up visits to ensure optimal healing and lasting results.
Results That Look Effortless
The hallmark of Dr. Ghazizadeh’s work is subtlety. Her patients often describe their results as refreshed, not “operated on.” After a brow lift, the eyes appear brighter, makeup application becomes easier, and the overall expression feels more approachable and confident.
When performed by a skilled facial plastic surgeon, a brow lift does not change your identity; it restores the vitality that aging may have concealed. The results can last for many years, and when combined with complementary treatments such as eyelid surgery or skin resurfacing, the effect is both transformative and enduring.
Who Is a Good Candidate for a Brow Lift?
The ideal candidate for a brow lift is someone who experiences heaviness or sagging in the upper face that cannot be corrected with injectables alone. Candidates often mention that friends say they “look tired,” even when they feel rested. Others notice that their upper eyelids have become hooded or that their makeup no longer applies as smoothly.
Dr. Ghazizadeh assesses each patient holistically, considering factors like skin quality, facial balance, and lifestyle to determine whether a brow lift or a combination of treatments will best achieve their goals.
