There’s a reason Dr. Robert Schwarcz doesn’t treat brows like isolated structures. Your brow position affects your eyes. Your eyes affect your cheeks. Your cheeks affect your entire expression. That’s why when someone comes in asking for a brow lift, he zooms out and looks at the whole face—not just the forehead.


A successful brow lift isn’t about chasing trends or pulling everything up. It’s about restoring harmony to your features so you still look like you—just more awake, balanced, and refreshed.


Why You Shouldn't Consider a Brow Lift in Isolation


THE FACE IS AN ECOSYSTEM

When the brow drops, it often leads to hooded lids, a heavy upper face, or even tired-looking eyes. But lifting the brow alone doesn’t automatically solve everything. In fact, lifting the brow without addressing surrounding features—like sagging upper eyelids, volume loss in the temples, or deflation in the midface—can make the face look disconnected or “done.”


That’s why Dr. Schwarcz approaches every brow lift through the lens of facial proportion and cohesion.


How Dr. Schwarcz Plans for Facial Balance


THE PAST IS THE BEST ROADMAP

One of Dr. Schwarcz’s favorite tools? Old photographs. During your consultation, he may ask to see pictures from 10–15 years ago to better understand:

  • How your brow and eyelid contours have shifted

  • What volume has been lost and where

  • How to restore a natural-looking version of your younger face


The goal is not to create a new face—it’s to gently reverse the signs of aging in a way that’s so seamless, you just look like you’ve had a great year (or decade) of sleep.


Combining a Brow Lift with Other Procedures


A CUSTOM PLAN = NATURAL RESULTS

Depending on your unique facial anatomy and how aging has affected different areas, Dr. Schwarcz may recommend pairing your brow lift with:

  • Upper Blepharoplasty – to remove excess skin on the lids for brighter, more defined eyes

  • Lower Blepharoplasty – to correct under-eye bags or hollows

  • Fat Grafting – to restore volume in the temples, cheeks, or brow area

  • CO2 Laser – to improve skin texture and fine lines around the eyes and forehead

  • Dysport or Fillers – for fine-tuning and maintaining results non-surgically


Each of these options is designed to support the brow lift, not distract from it—because the best facial rejuvenation is subtle and cohesive.


How to Know If a Brow Lift Is Right for You

You may benefit from a brow lift if:

  • You’ve noticed a heavy or hooded appearance in the upper face

  • Your brow sits lower than it used to and affects your expression

  • People ask if you’re tired, even when you feel rested

  • You want to look younger without looking different


The right candidate isn’t based on age—it’s based on anatomy, muscle activity, skin laxity, and personal goals. That’s where Dr. Schwarcz’s experience and trained aesthetic eye come in.
