Reclaim a Youthful, Lifted Look with Dr. Joelle Rogal, Double Board-Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon
Are you noticing deep forehead lines, a heavy brow, or a tired, angry expression—even when you’re feeling rested? These are common signs of aging that can change how others perceive you and how you feel about your appearance. A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is a transformative procedure that smooths deep creases, lifts sagging brows, and restores a more open, youthful look to the upper face.
At her boutique practice in Harrison, NY, Dr. Joelle Rogal, a double board-certified facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon, performs advanced brow lift techniques with artistry and precision—delivering results that are natural, refreshed, and tailored just for you.
What Is a Brow Lift?
A brow lift is a surgical procedure that elevates the forehead and brows to correct:
- Deep horizontal lines across the forehead
- Frown lines or “11s” between the eyebrows
- Sagging or hooded brows that make the eyes appear tired or angry
- Asymmetry of the brows
By repositioning the underlying muscles and smoothing the overlying skin, a brow lift creates a more alert, youthful appearance—enhancing your natural beauty without changing your expression.

Brow Lift Techniques Offered
Dr. Rogal offers both traditional and endoscopic brow lift techniques, selecting the approach that best aligns with your anatomy, goals, and lifestyle.
Classic (Coronal) Brow Lift
This method involves a long incision along the hairline or behind the hairline. It’s ideal for patients with thicker skin or more advanced signs of aging. A coronal lift can also lower a high forehead when customized appropriately.
Endoscopic Brow Lift
A less invasive option, this technique uses three to five small incisions at or behind the hairline. A tiny camera (endoscope) guides the procedure, allowing Dr. Rogal to lift the brows and smooth the forehead with minimal scarring and faster recovery.
Which technique is right for you? That depends on factors such as your skin elasticity, forehead height, hairline, and overall facial harmony—all of which Dr. Rogal will assess during your consultation.
What to Expect During Brow Lift Surgery
Performed in a fully accredited surgical suite or hospital, a brow lift typically takes 1 to 2 hours and is done under IV sedation or general anesthesia. During the procedure:
- Dr. Rogal makes either one long incision or a few small ones, depending on the technique
- She lifts and repositions underlying tissue and muscles for a smoother, elevated brow
- Incisions are closed with sutures, adhesives, or surgical tap
- A drain may be used temporarily to reduce swelling or fluid buildup
After surgery, you’ll rest in a recovery area before going home the same day in most cases.
Brow Lift Recovery and Results
Dr. Rogal provides comprehensive aftercare instructions to ensure your healing is smooth and results are long-lasting. Recovery generally includes:
- Initial swelling and bruising that improves within 1–2 weeks
- Light activity can resume within a few days, but strenuous activity should be avoided for several weeks
- Scars are discreet, well-placed in the hairline, and fade over time
- Full results develop gradually, with final contour visible after 3–6 months
The outcome? A more lifted, open, and refreshed appearance, with a natural expression that reflects how you truly feel inside.
Are You a Candidate for a Brow Lift?
You may be an ideal candidate if you:
- Are in good overall health and don’t smoke
- Have realistic expectations about surgical results
- Struggle with forehead creases, drooping brows, or hooded upper lids
- Are looking for long-lasting facial rejuvenation
During your personalized consultation, Dr. Rogal will review your medical history, aesthetic concerns, and facial anatomy to determine if a brow lift—or a combination procedure with eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty)—is right for you.
Understanding the Risks
While brow lift surgery is safe when performed by an experienced specialist, it does carry some risks, including:
- Hair loss near the incision sites
- Temporary or permanent facial asymmetry
- Elevated hairline (with traditional techniques)
- Facial nerve injury (rare)
- Eye dryness or irritation
Choosing a double board-certified expert like Dr. Rogal significantly reduces these risks and ensures your safety and satisfaction throughout the process.
