Brow Lift in Shreveport
The eyebrow can convey facial expressions with even the slightest of movement. Unfortunately, as we age, and our brows move downward on the facial plane, sometimes emotions such as anger, fatigue, and sadness can be falsely portrayed. This also increases forehead wrinkles due to patients trying to lift their brows up to see better.
The result of a brow lift can bring your face a far more relaxed and refreshed appearance. Dr. Pennington, an esteemed facial plastic surgeon in Shreveport, will usually perform one of her specialties: the temporal, or lateral, brow lift. This minimally invasive procedure revitalizes the outer eyebrows, eye corners, and temporal skin area for a naturally youthful appearance.
Conveniently located on Line Avenue in Shreveport, Louisiana, Pennington Facial Plastics proudly serves the brow lift needs of the greater community. Our facility isn’t far from Betty Virginia Park and hotels like Home2 Suites by Hilton Shreveport.

Temporal Brow Lift
What Can a Brow Lift Do for Me?
A brow lift is especially beneficial for individuals with a genetic predisposition to a low or drooping brow. It reduces excess skin around the eyes and repositions the brow into a more aesthetically pleasing position. This creates a balanced, harmonious appearance, enhancing the natural beauty of the eyes and upper face.
This procedure is ideal for men and women in good health who wish to correct:
- Heavy or hooded upper eyelids
- Drooping brows or sagging skin on the forehead
- Deep frown lines and furrows between the brows
- Horizontal forehead wrinkles
- Crow’s feet and other wrinkles around the eyes
- An overall angry or tired expression
Whether caused by aging, frequent squinting, or sun exposure, a sagging brow can significantly impact one’s appearance. A brow lift corrects these issues, resulting in a smoother, firmer, and more youthful look. It offers both aesthetic and functional benefits, including improved vision in cases where sagging skin obstructs sight.
For those seeking a long-lasting solution to rejuvenate their appearance, a brow lift is a transformative procedure that restores confidence and vitality. Carefully following your surgeon's instructions should help you get the best results from your browlift surgery.
The best way to find out more about the many benefits of a brow lift is by setting up a consultation. At Pennington Facial Plastic Surgery in Shreveport, Dr. Pennington will be available to answer any questions you may have. Contact us today at (318) 216-5366 for your personalized consultation.
Types of Brow Lifts
While Dr. Pennington typically performs the temporal brow lift, there are a number of brow lift options available. The ideal choice for each patient will depend on their anatomy and their aesthetic goals.
Temporal (Lateral) Brow Lift
This is one of the least invasive procedures and targets the outer eyebrows, outer corners of the eyes, and the temporal skin area. This approach allows for a natural refreshed look and does not give patients the “surprised” look that some other approaches can give.
It is accomplished by making two very small incisions in the temporal hairline; this positioning helps disguise any scar, as its hidden back in the patient’s hairline.
This technique is frequently performed with upper blepharoplasty. It alleviates lateral hooding, allowing Dr. Pennington to place the upper eyelid surgery incision in the natural supra-tarsal crease. This keeps the incision shorter and invisible.
Direct Brow Lift
The direct brow lift is a precise technique that Dr. Pennington primarily recommends for male patients seeking a more defined, rejuvenated forehead appearance. By creating a discreet incision just above the eyebrows, she gains direct access to the underlying muscles and skin. This allows Dr. Pennington to smooth deep forehead creases and elevate heavy, drooping brows with exceptional control. Because of its effectiveness in tightening thicker male skin and addressing significant sagging, this approach is often ideal for older patients or those with deeply set brow furrows.
Endoscopic Brow Lift
An endoscopic brow lift involves creating three to five short incisions placed discreetly within the hairline. A tiny camera, or endoscope, provides a magnified view of the underlying forehead structures on an external monitor. Using this precise visualization, Dr. Pennington releases and repositions the muscles and tissues responsible for sagging brows and forehead wrinkles. This advanced approach results in subtle, natural-looking rejuvenation with smaller incisions, less swelling, and faster healing time.
Coronal (Traditional) Brow Lift
A coronal (traditional) brow lift, sometimes called the classic brow lift, is performed through a single incision placed just behind the hairline and extending from ear to ear. This technique allows Dr. Pennington to lift the entire forehead area, smooth deep wrinkles, and reposition drooping brows. While it involves a longer recovery than newer methods, it offers lasting results for patients with advanced signs of aging.

Before & After
Brow Lift Consultation with Dr. Pennington
Before meeting with Dr. Pennington for a personalized brow lift consultation, patients will discuss their aesthetic goals with Lindsey, our patient care coordinator. She will be happy to assist out-of-town patients with accommodations and travel logistics.
The brow lift consultation with Dr. Pennington can be in person or virtual, depending on the patient’s needs. In-person consultations are held at our Shreveport facility, conveniently located near Vintage Wine Bar & Spirits, Rhino Coffee, and Another Broken Egg Cafe.
During the consultation, Dr. Pennington will learn more about the patient’s brow lift goals. She will go over the results that can be achieved with a forehead lift to set realistic expectations.
Dr. Pennington will perform a full physical examination and ask questions about the patient’s medical history. This will include information about allergies, past surgeries, and current medications. Photographs will also be taken to serve as a reference.
The doctor will talk to the patient about brow lift techniques and then recommend the ideal option. She will design a custom-tailored surgical plan and discuss pre-operative steps and recovery directions. Patients are highly encouraged to ask questions at any time during the consultation.v
Browlift Procedure
Dr. Pennington will perform your forehead lift procedure at Evangeline Surgical Suites, our AAAASF-accredited surgical center in Shreveport. She designed these suites herself to ensure the utmost patient safety and comfort. Along with a fully equipped operating room and a procedure suite, Evangeline Surgical Suites features private recovery areas and pre-operative areas.
At the start of the brow lift, anesthesia will be administered for patient comfort. Next, Dr. Pennington will create the brow lift incisions using great precision and care.
She will tighten the muscles and skin of the forehead and brow area, removing tissue as needed. Once she has finished making all the required changes, she will close the incisions using the chosen closure method.
Browlift Recovery and Results
After your forehead lift procedure, Dr. Pennington and her team will provide consistent personalized support. We know that the recovery process can come with its fair share of anxiety and stress, and so we encourage you to reach out at any time with questions.
Together, Dr. Pennington and her husband (an anesthesiologist with years of experience) have worked to create a highly effective and time-tested surgical recovery protocol. This protocol will help you recover more quickly and comfortably after your brow lift.
The protocol will include peptides and amino acids, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and IV infusions with ingredients like B-12, magnesium, vitamin C, arginine, zinc, and glutathione. A specially designed serum will also be infused into the tissues as part of scar microneedling to minimize post-surgical marks.
How Much Does a Brow Lift Cost?
The price of a brow lift varies based on the specifics of each patient’s operation, since a brow lift from Dr. Pennington is never a one-size-fits-all procedure. Pricing is custom and may be impacted by the exact techniques utilized, anesthesia fees, and total surgical time.
Patients can find out more about the cost of their brow lift when they speak with Lindsey, our patient care coordinator.
