Overview

About the procedure.

A browlift raises a sagging brow and can soften the frown lines between the eyes. The corrugator muscles that create frown lines may be addressed through incisions kept behind the hairline, smoothing that “angry” or “tired” look.

A browlift is frequently combined with eyelid surgery for a balanced result across the upper face. The right approach depends on your brow position and goals.

A little clarity

Good questions.
Honest answers.

There is no question too small to bring to your consultation.

Ask us a question
Will I meet Dr. Kirwan personally at my consultation?

Yes. Every patient is a VIP. From your first consultation through your last follow-up visit, you see Dr. Kirwan himself at every single appointment. He is available to you before, during, and after your procedure.

Where is surgery performed?

Most procedures are performed under local anesthesia with conscious sedation in Dr. Kirwan’s AAAASF-accredited surgical suite in Norwalk, Connecticut. Patients unsuitable for conscious sedation for medical or other reasons are treated at Greenwich Hospital / the Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Ambulatory Surgical Center, or Sasco Hill Surgery Center in Southport. The practice confirms the facility and anesthesia plan for each patient.

How do I know whether I am a candidate?

Candidacy depends on your health, anatomy, and goals, not a specific age. The only way to know for certain is a one-on-one consultation, where your medical history and aesthetic goals are reviewed and the appropriate options are explained.
