Harmony Facial Plastic Surgery In Nashville
A lifetime of expressions takes its toll on our foreheads. Those wrinkles across our forehead make us look angry or unhappy. We seem to be frowning all the time. And the position of our eyebrows makes us look older and less alert. Are you looking tired even when you are well-rested? In Nashville brow lift surgery from Dr. Kate O’Connor may be exactly what you need to align your expression with your actual emotions.
Nashville Brow Lift
A brow lift, sometimes called a temporal brow lift or forehead lift, is a plastic surgery procedure designed to reduce the effects of aging on your forehead and over your eyes. Over time, the soft tissues that cover the area above our eyes tend to droop.
Horizontal lines start to form across our forehead, and vertical lines show up between the eyebrows. The daily emotions that play out on your face create these lines. These signs start to show up as you approach forty. Heredity and the condition of your skin play a part as well. A brow lift can correct these problems, reversing the effects of gravity and time. The brow lift removes excess sagging skin on the forehead and repositioning the underlying tissues and muscles. Dr. Kate O’Connor offers brow lifts in Nashville where she is one of the few female plastic surgeons.
Holistic Plastic Surgery In Nashville
A brow lift can reduce the wrinkles in the top part of your face – both the ones across your forehead, the ones between your eyes, and at the corners of your eyes. If you have ever been told you look tired or unhappy or even angry, you and everyone around you will see an improvement.
In addition, a brow lift can raise sagging brows that cause hoods over your eyes. For some, this is simply a cosmetic concern. Others with more severe brow hooding may need a brow lift to improve their field of vision. You may find that the people around you find you more sociable and accessible. You will look more alert and rested. Best of all, your self-confidence may improve since you won’t have to worry about coming across as unhappy, and the natural brightness of your eyes will shine.

Brow Lift in Nashville
At the start of their brow lift Nashville patients will be given anesthesia that usually lasts one to two hours. Incisions typically are made behind your hairline. Your forehead is then lifted into a new position and the extra skin is removed. Dr. O’Connor’s technique is accomplished by going under the muscle to create longer-lasting, more comprehensive results.
Results in Nashville
You will see the improvements in your forehead soon after your brow lift recovery. The reduction of lines will result in a more youthful look and a forehead that more closely aligns with your actual emotions. As you continue to age, the skin on your forehead may droop again. Sun damage should be avoided. And a good skincare regimen will prolong the beneficial results.
After a brow lift Nashville patients will have their forehead loosely wrapped to reduce any swelling. You will initially need to be careful to keep your head elevated. You may apply cold compresses, but you will want to avoid any excessive pressure. You can expect a follow-up visit with Dr. O’Connor after the surgery and you will be advised to call if you experience any unusual problems or simply have any concerns.
Dr. O’Connor follows a holistic, integrative approach to brow lift recovery. This style will significantly improve your recuperation. She uses therapies such as acupuncture and supplements to speed up the healing process. As a result, you will experience reduced swelling and pain. If you are looking for a Brow Lift in Nashville, with Kate O’Connor, M.D., you will find a trained and skilled surgeon who customizes the procedure for your needs. The healing process may take several weeks for the swelling and bruising to fully disappear. Once you have healed, the incisions will be barely noticeable since they are hidden in the hairline. Dr. O’Connor will give you detailed instructions on post-operative care.
We know that for many patients, the brow lift cost is a practical consideration. Because every face requires a different approach, whether that is a temporal brow lift to address the outer corners or a more comprehensive endoscopic brow lift, there is no single fixed price.
The final cost of your surgical procedure generally includes the plastic surgeon’s fee, facility costs, and anesthesia fees. During your consultation, we will provide a complete, transparent breakdown of your personalized surgical plan. We view plastic surgery as an investment in your confidence, and our goal is to give you the most value by ensuring a result that looks natural and ages well with you.
A surgical brow lift is a long-term investment, with brow lift results typically lasting 10 to 15 years. While no procedure stops the aging process completely, it resets the clock—meaning your brows will remain in a more youthful position for the long haul compared to if you hadn't had the surgery.
It elevates sagging eyebrows and smooths out deep horizontal lines and frown lines across the forehead. By lifting the heavy tissue that crowds the eyes, it removes that "tired" or "stern" look and opens up the upper face for a brighter, refreshed appearance.
There is no "right" age, but most patients are between 40 and 60 when gravity starts affecting the forehead. However, we also see younger patients with naturally low brows or hooded eyes who choose an eyebrow lift early on to open up their expression.
Often, yes. Many people think they need eyelid surgery when the real culprit is actually a heavy brow pushing down on the lids. Dr. O’Connor will analyze your facial anatomy to see if lifting the brow clears the hooding or if you need a combination approach to remove excess skin.
It is surprisingly manageable. Most patients describe the sensation as "tight" rather than painful. We use cold compresses to minimize swelling, and any discomfort during the first few days is easily handled with medication. You’ll likely feel ready to be seen in public within a week or two.
Because the eyes are the central focus of your face, lifting a sagging brow makes a profound difference. Unlike Botox which requires constant maintenance, a brow lift procedure offers structural forehead rejuvenation. Patients consistently rate it highly because the results look awake and natural, not "pulled."
For an endoscopic brow lift, we use tiny incisions hidden completely behind the hairline. Even with other techniques, visible scarring is virtually non-existent because the small incisions are placed where hair or natural creases camouflage them perfectly.
