Brow lift facial feminization surgery is a popular procedure among patients at our Chicago, IL practice. The position and shape of the eyebrows are among the most expressive gender cues on the human face. In masculine anatomy, the brow typically sits lower and flatter, resting on or just above the orbital bone. In feminine anatomy, the brow arches gracefully above the rim, creating an open, approachable expression. Brow lift surgery corrects this difference as part of a comprehensive upper third facial feminization plan. At Evolve Your Life in Chicago, IL, patients from across the United States travel to receive this procedure from Dr. Amir Dorafshar.
How Brow Lift Surgery Fits Into Upper Third FFS
Dr. Dorafshar performs brow lift procedures by releasing internal ligaments that anchor the brow in a lower position and elevating tissue to a higher, more feminine arch. This is typically done in conjunction with forehead contouring as part of upper third FFS. Our Chicago, IL team coordinates virtual pre-operative appointments and detailed recovery plans for patients traveling from other states.
In some patients, brow lifting is also combined with eyelid lift surgery to open the eyes further and address upper eyelid heaviness. Non-surgical injectables can provide temporary brow elevation for patients not yet ready for surgery, and can be arranged locally wherever you live in the USA.
