Brow Lift San Francisco
Scowling, frowning, or too much time squinting in the sun can take a toll on the skin and muscles of your brow. They may begin to sag, making your eyes look tired. Furthermore, many people are genetically predisposed to brows that descend over time.

What is a Brow Lift?
Heavy looking brows can make you appear tired, angry and older than you are. A brow lift is not only able to improve the excess skin on the outside of your eyes, but it also positions your brows into a more aesthetically pleasing position.
Dr. David Sieber Plastic Surgeon San Francisco Bay Area not only has extensive training in all of the latest facial rejuvenation techniques, but he also has a deep understanding of anatomy and how each element of the face interacts with one another. His goal with any brow lift surgery is to deliver a natural-looking, lifted brow that will restore a rested, youthful, and brighter look to your face.*
Brow lift surgery is commonly performed in conjunction with other facial rejuvenation surgeries such as a facelift, neck lift, and upper and/or lower blepharoplasty.
Patient Testimonials
Finally getting around to writing a review! I wanted to wait until 6 months but 6 turned to 9 and now here we are. If I could, I’d give a million more stars to Dr. Sieber and Amy for both patient care and the work done. I decided to use peak covid times to get my breast augmentation done because I went in with the assumption recovery was going to be a bit daunting. It wasn’t. Amy fit me in to speak with Dr. Sieber in just a week of my inquiry and he understood my wants over a FaceTime call. Once we did the in person, I was pleasantly surprised by how easy the whole process was going to be. Still a bit skeptical but hopeful I wasn’t going to be down for the count for too long.

I wanted to write a updated review. My body has still stayed the same since Dr. Sieber changed my body and life for the better. I still exercise and eat healthy regularly. My dating life has been insane. I was able to land a boyfriend in the NFL nine years younger than me. My new boyfriend loves my body. Its been one year since my surgery and I still think it was the best decision I ever made. I will definitely be back to the Dr. when I need my face done. Its time for a tune up. hehe

This review is for Sally, dr Seibers pro injector! She is so good at what she does and really really took her time with me in discussing what treatments would be best to naturally “enhance” me. This was important to me because I really didn’t know what I needed and we talked it out together.She ended up giving me 2 ml of cheek fillers(spread out over two Apts) to help with my under eyes and lift my mid face. The results turned out better than I had even hoped for. She also gave me a touch of lip fillers to help plump up any fine lines. The results are awesome and natural which was exactly what I was going for;)

Brow Lift Technique
During your initial consultation, Dr. Sieber will evaluate the skin and muscles of your forehead in order to determine which brow lift technique best fits your facial anatomy as well as your desired outcome. Choosing the right brow lift technique for you will depend largely on the height and shape of your forehead. There are 3 main types of brow lift surgery:
• Endoscopic Brow Lift:
In this technique, minimally invasive incisions are made within and behind your hair line. A camera is then inserted and used to guide Dr. Sieber as he releases and repositions your brow to a more optimal position.* Because there are only a few small incisions, this type of brow lift is best in patients with thinning hair and/or normal height foreheads.
• Hairline Brow Lift:
In this technique, an incision is made along your hair line through which your brow is repositioned. This type of brow lift is best for patients with a long forehead.
• Coronal Brow Lift:
In this technique, an incision is made behind the hairline. This technique is best for patients with normal or low hairlines as there will be a slight lengthening of your forehead with this technique. Coronal brow lifts are able to offer the greatest degree of improvement in brow position.*
Brow lift surgery is performed as an outpatient procedure unless it’s included as part of facial rejuvenation surgery, in which case, Dr. Sieber may recommend an overnight stay. All of this will be discussed in detail during your initial consultation.
Preparing for Brow Lift Surgery
As with any major surgery, all medications and supplements which cause an increased risk of bleeding should be stopped 2 weeks prior to surgery. Please see our list of medications and supplements to avoid. As always, make sure to check with your doctor before stopping any medications.
Recovery From Brow Lift
After brow lift recovery, you will notice some swelling in and around your eyes. This typically resolves within 48-72 hours. Dr. Sieber recommends that his brow lift patients sleep in an upright or semi-recumbent position for the first 1-2 days following surgery to help reduce post-operative swelling.
Your skin incisions will be closed with staples that are hidden within your hairline. These will remain in place for 2 weeks before being removed at your post-operative visit. If you are only having a brow lift then you can return to work within a week. You may notice some loss of sensation in your hairline and forehead.
This is normal and typically resolves within the first couple of weeks to months following surgery.*

How do I know which type of brow lift is best for me?
