“I have had two cosmetic surgeries with Dr. Carlin — a medically necessary breast reduction and a brow lift. Both times I was treated with respect and kindness, and the results were exceptional.”


A forehead lift treats the conditions of aging in the upper face, and can be done on its own or with other procedures for a more harmonious result. Younger adults with a naturally low brow, or with deep frown lines from active muscles, may benefit as well.
Over the years the procedure has evolved from open techniques to shorter-incision and endoscopic methods. Through incisions hidden in the scalp, Dr. Carlin can soften the muscles that cause frown lines, remove excess skin, and lift the eyebrows to a more pleasing, youthful position.
You may be a good candidate if you have a sagging or low brow that creates a tired or sad appearance, deep horizontal creases across the forehead, or frown lines and furrows between the eyebrows.
Usually within the hair-bearing scalp, designed to be inconspicuous once healed. If your main concern is the frown lines between your eyebrows, a limited endoscopic procedure can sometimes address them alone.
In our own private surgery center at the practice in West Columbia — not a hospital. The same team you meet at your consultation cares for you on the day of surgery and through recovery.
