In the world of aesthetics, there are two ways to go about your beauty. You could follow the fads and trends online. Or you could talk with the specialists who make the trends instead of following them. At Envision Eye & Aesthetics there are so many ways to bring out your inner beauty, but one of our most popular treatments is an eyebrow lift in Rochester.
Eyebrow lifts are one of the most effective ways to lift your look and bring out your natural beauty. The goal of every lift is not to tighten your overall look, but draw attention to your eyes, the focal point of your face. Past trends focused on simply lifting the brow as high as it could go, but those left people with over-arched brows that actually aged them further!
Dr. Whipple evaluates not just the height of the brow but also the volume, shape, arch, and length of the brow. By addressing these areas, we provide the most natural result possible. Our eyebrow lifts go in-depth for your brows to look more alert, expressive, and youthful! If you’re tired of looking tired, dive in with us to learn all about our eyebrow lift in Rochester.
Ways to enhance your eyebrows in Rochester
Simply put, eyebrow restoration could be a surgical or non-surgical procedure that restores your brows to their natural position your eyebrows or the most optimal place to allow the focus of your face to become your eyes. To do this, Dr. Whipple the expertise to make your eyebrow lift in Rochester completely unique to you.
Non-Surgical
Our office specializes in neuromodulators that work for many different parts of the face, including your brows! For injectable eyebrow lifts, we trust Botox or Dysport to adjust the balance of the muscles raising and lowering your eyebrow. This results in a temporary elevation the brow area, which opens up the entire eye area. These injections take a few minutes, last for a few months, and are a great way to maintain a youthful contour without surgery.
Another nonsurgical option is to modify the volume around the brows to recreate the volume we had when we were younger. Did you know that we have large fat pads in our temples that lose volume over time? Simply restoring this volume can be all you need. You can use tried and true fillers, but we take things one step further for natural results with Sculptra. This injection stimulates your fibroblast to regenerate collagen which makes it a great option to restore your brows as well!
Surgical
But when the nonsurgical options are not enough, Dr. Whipple will usually recommend surgical eyebrow lifts in Rochester. There are countless variations and “tweaks” to brow lift surgery, but there are three main ways to lift the brow surgically.
The first way is by lifting the brow from below it and tacking the retro-orbicularis oculi fat pad in the proper position. This is the most simple, natural way to lift the brow. The only drawback is that it is not as strong as some of the other ways to lift brow that are listed below.
The second way is typically performed on older men with severely droopy brows called a direct brow lift. The skin just above the brow is carefully removed and the edge of the skin are brought back together. This is a powerful option to lift the brow. However, it is not commonly done for cosmetic purposes because it does leave a scar above the brow. Making it perfect for men with bushy eyebrows.
Finally, there is the endoscopic eyebrow lift along with its variations and catchy names like the cat eye lift, upper facelift, etc. This is what people are typically referring to when they say they want an eyebrow lift. This procedure requires a laparoscopic camera and an expert surgeon, like Dr. Whipple, who knows exactly what she is doing! The entire procedure usually takes less than two hours and gives the maximum results with minimal downtime.
Who needs it?
We’d love to say that anyone can benefit from an eyebrow lift in Rochester. But we only recommend the best treatments that fit your goals and your conditions. To find what’s best for you, we start with an in-depth consultation.
In your consultation, we’ll go over everything from what about your appearance is bothering you to your lifestyle. Then based on your exam, how aggressive you want to be, and how much time you have to heal, we can decide on the best approach for you.
You may be a great candidate for an eyebrow lift in Rochester if you’re experiencing a furrowed, drooping brow line, you feel like your eyes simply are not what they used to be, or you see your eyelids when you look laterally. Here are a few additional treatments we can add to your eyebrow lift in Rochester as well.
Additional lifts
Time doesn’t just affect your forehead and brow area. That’s why our skilled hands are experienced in many different types of lifts. We do not recommend two lifts at the same time, so we take the time to plan out each lift based on your individual needs and goals. Here’s a look at a few procedures we commonly pair with eyebrow lifts in Rochester.
-
Blepharoplasty
This procedure lifts your upper and lower eyelids to give you a more youthful, alert look. This particular lift is a popular addition because it works alongside your eyebrow lift to enhance your alert, youthful look.
-
Lip Lift
A lip lift is another minimally invasive option that gives you the perfect pout permanently! In a minimally invasive procedure, we can surgically improve your lip volume, shape, and definition!
-
Facelift
Facelifts at Envision are commonly used to tighten the jawline cheeks and jowls. Like every lift we specialize in, these procedures are minimally invasive and virtually invisible after recovery.
Forever Young BBL
To maximize your beauty and ensure your skin looks as young as you feel, we can use the power of broadband light therapy. We use Forever Young BBL to repair the damaged cells and promote collagen production while leaving healthy cells completely intact. After you fully recover from your eyebrow lift in Rochester, this is a great way to maintain your results!
Plasma Pen
After we tighten up your look with a lift, you may notice additional lines, wrinkles, or crepey skin. To address any additional concerns after your eyebrow lift in Rochester we recommend Plasma Pen.
This procedure is a highly scientific way of converting the power of electrical energy into an energized oxygen-plasma stream that we use to stimulate your skin. This affects the fibroblasts in your skin to naturally stimulate collagen and elastin production.

From the moment you walk through our door, you can rest assured that your beauty is in the best hands possible. Here’s what you can expect as our team lifts your natural beauty to new heights.
Consultation
Before any treatment at Envision, we start with an easy conversation. This allows us to get to know you as a person before we even start to talk about treatments. We’ll get to know you, your lifestyle, your goals, and yes, what you’d like to improve when it comes to how you look and feel.
In your consultation, our office staff will build your patient profile as well as introduce you to our practice. After we get to know each other, we’ll start to talk about your options to meet your goals.
When it comes to an eyebrow lift in Rochester, you’ll talk to Dr. Katherine Whipple about the entire process. The rest of our staff is very knowledgeable as well. But there’s no better way to understand your treatment than by talking to the person who will perform it.
Dr. Whipple will answer any questions you may have, tailor your treatment plan and instruct you on how to prep before the big day. Before you leave, you’ll schedule your appointment with our front desk and you’ll receive a brief recap of everything discussed in your consultation.
The Big Day
When the big day arrives, you’ll be greeted and escorted to our comfortable treatment room. There we’ll check you in, answer any last-minute questions and prep you for surgery, or precisely map out each of your injection sites.
Neuromodulator Treatment
If your eyebrow lift in Rochester includes injectables, our injection specialist will talk with you as they apply a topical numbing cream to each injection site. As each area becomes completely numb, we’ll also prepare the predetermined amount of Botox or Dysport. In less than an hour, your injections will be complete and our specialist will massage each area to ensure the neuromodulators are distributed evenly.
Surgical eyebrow lift Treatment
Surgical eyebrow lifts in Rochester are slightly more involved, but just as comfortable as injections. Our staff will prep you for surgery by numbing the treatment area and answering any last-minute questions before Dr. Whipple arrives. Dr. Whipple will then precisely map out incisions and ensure you’re completely comfortable before starting the procedure.
The surgery typically takes less than two hours and patients only report feeling a slight tugging sensation as Dr. Whipple completes their eyebrow lift in Rochester.
After the sutures are placed, Dr. Whipple will seal up the incisions and apply bandages to ensure optimal healing. You’ll need to stick around a bit after your surgery to make sure your skin is lifted correctly and schedule any follow-up appointments.
Recovery
Since we use the most minimally invasive techniques possible, downtime is kept to a minimum regardless of the option you choose for your eyebrow lift. If you opt for a neuromodulator such as Botox or Dysport, you can expect some tightness immediately after your injections that will subside within a week.
For those who opt for surgery, we recommend staying out of direct sunlight and avoiding harsh cleansers to protect the integrity of your skin during the healing process.
As you recover from your eyebrow lift, the best results will start to show within 4 to 6 weeks following your treatment. This is why we schedule your follow-ups accordingly. Within two months, you’ll be enjoying the new normal from your eyebrow lift.
