Am I a Candidate for a Brow Lift?

A brow lift may be right for you if you are bothered by heavy eyebrows, deep forehead creases, or sagging skin that makes you appear older or more tired than you feel. Dr. Hardy carefully evaluates each patient during a private consultation to determine whether surgery is the safest and most effective option.

You may be a candidate if you:

  • Have sagging eyebrows that give a tired, angry, or sad appearance
  • Notice deep forehead lines or furrows between the brows
  • Experience drooping skin that interferes with vision
  • Are in good overall health with realistic expectations for surgery
  • Do not smoke, or are willing to quit before and after the procedure

Dr. Hardy emphasizes patient education and will ensure you fully understand your options before recommending any treatment.

What to Expect During a Brow Lift in Polson

Consultation and Personalized Planning

Your journey begins with a private consultation at our Polson office. Dr. Hardy will take the time to understand your concerns, evaluate your facial features, and recommend the most appropriate approach for your goals. Every treatment plan is individualized to ensure safe, natural-looking results.

Procedure Day: Safe and Comfortable Care

On the day of surgery, Dr. Hardy uses refined techniques to gently lift and reposition the skin and underlying tissues of the forehead. His conservative approach ensures your results enhance your natural appearance without looking overdone. Most patients are able to return home the same day.

Recovery and Results Timeline

After surgery, you can expect some swelling and bruising, which typically improves within one to two weeks. Many patients feel ready to return to work or light activities after about 10–14 days. As healing continues, your refreshed, youthful appearance becomes more noticeable and long-lasting.

Frequently Asked Questions About Brow Lifts in Polson

Will my results look natural?

Yes. Dr. Hardy’s conservative approach ensures that your brow lift will simply make you look refreshed and more alert, never artificial or “overdone.” You're welcome to browse our photo gallery and explore before-and-after cases.

How long does recovery take?

Most patients feel comfortable returning to work or light activities within 10–14 days. Residual swelling and bruising continue to improve over the following weeks, with results becoming clearer as healing progresses.

Can a brow lift improve vision?

For some patients, sagging brows can partially obstruct their field of vision. By lifting the brows and tightening excess skin, a brow lift may improve both appearance and function. If your eyesight is impacted, we can discuss whether insurance might provide coverage in that case.

Is a brow lift permanent?

While no procedure can stop the aging process, the results of a brow lift can last many years. Patients often enjoy a noticeably younger, more friendly expression for years to come with proper skin care and healthy habits.
