  • My experience with Dr. Karrer was wonderful! As an older patient, he calmed all my anxieties and made the journey exciting. No time is too late. He positively guided me through each step in order to achieve all my goals. Dr. Karter is top on my list! Love his new office too!!

    - Linda Mancuso

  • Dr. Karter is a phenomenal Doctor who really cares about your well being and will go above and beyond to achieve exactly what you are looking for to get done. He is very patient and kind and actually listens. He took his time to explain everything that I would expect from start to finish and answered all of my questions. I never felt rushed in anyway even after the procedure. I am recommending him to anyone who is looking for a trusthworthy and honest Doctor that is Top rated in my book. His whole team is amazing as well! I am not sure of the longevity since I just got this done, but so far I am highly impressed! Thankyou so much Dr. Karter!!!

    - Jackie

  • Dr. Karter has performed two procedures on me. First, I had a lower blepharoplasty and he did an awesome job!! It has been 2 years since and I am over the moon at how great they look! Second, I had a lower deep plane facelift, a platismaplasty, temporal brow lift and a lip lift. I am so happy with my results 6 months later. He is so gentle and caring about his work and really does an amazing job! He really knows what he's doing and explains everything to a tee. I can barely see my scars at 6 months and everything healed beautifully! He goes out of his way for his patients and actually came into the office to check on me on Thanksgiving day!! Can't beat that! Thanks so much to he and his staff for for everything!!

    - Vicki Hogan

  • I recently had tear trough filler with Dr. Karter and he’s the best. So personable, knowledgeable, and patient. Highly recommend!

    - Hanada Hamideh

  • I recently underwent a rhinoplasty procedure with Dr. Karter & I can confidently say that I am beyond thrilled with the results. From start to finish, my experience with Dr. Karter & his team was top-notch.

    Not only does Dr. Karter have a great bedside manner, but he was also incredibly knowledgeable & able to answer all of my questions & concerns before the procedure. He made me feel at ease & confident in his ability to deliver the results I was hoping for.

    The staff at the practice were also amazing - Erin was friendly, attentive, & made sure I had everything I needed. They were a true asset to the practice & contributed to making my experience a positive one.

    But most importantly, the results of my rhinoplasty are truly amazing. I am so in love with my new nose & it has truly boosted my confidence. Dr. Karter was able to achieve the exact look I was hoping for & exceeded my expectations.

    Overall, I highly recommend Dr. Karter for anyone considering a rhinoplasty procedure. They have the perfect balance of excellent bedside manner, knowledgeable expertise, & a wonderful staff that will make your experience a positive one.

  • Dr. Karter did an incredible job with my chin lipo. Everyone in the office was super helpful and informative. I felt completely prepared for the surgery and was thrilled with the results. I couldn't recommend him enough! Worth every penny of the reasonable price!

    - Sydney Giuliano

  • Great , doctor! He is kind , the environment is clean and calming. The staff is beyond amazing ! 5 stars out of 5! For sure !!!

    - ashley larson

  • I’ve considered chin lipo for a while and impulsively booked a consult with Dr Karter. It was easily one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! He is incredibly kind and talented. I felt so comfortable here I didn’t even make a consultation with any other surgeons. I ended up getting chin liposuction and a deep neck lift. I’m almost a month post op writing this review and still experiencing a little swelling which is normal but I could cry over how great my results are looking so far.

    Both Dr Karter and his assistant Erin have been over the top accommodating when it came to booking my surgery and my recovery!!! They gave me their personal numbers and I never felt like I was bothering them with all of my questions lol I recommend him to everyone

    - J

  • Very thorough information regarding options. Welcoming, relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommend!

    - Julia Vázquez

  • The absolute best in every way! So, so happy! Nothing more needs to be said, except book an appointment with Dr. Karter, no need to look further.

    - Anne C

  • PHENOMENAL, that is how I would describe my experience with Dr. Karter. He is a truly talented surgeon, and I cannot say enough good things about him and his staff. For the past 20 years I’ve always wanted a more pronounced jawline and it has always been an insecurity of mine. Over the past couple years of seeing myself on zoom meetings I’d become even more self-conscious and unhappy with my overall appearance, so I decided to do something about it, and I am so glad I did. From the minute I met with Dr. Karter for my consultation, I immediately felt comfortable. During our consultation I told him which areas of my face bothered me, and unlike other doctors I felt like he really listened. He offered several options and thoroughly explained the benefit of each. After that first meeting I cancelled all my other consultations because I knew had found the right Dr. I decided to do a chin implant, deep plane neck lift and buccal fat removal. Prior to surgery, his patient coordinator, Erin, made it a seamless process and an absolute pleasure to work with. I am now one month post op, and I am blown away with the results. I have never felt this good about myself; my only regret is not doing this sooner. Doing this is literally the best money I have ever spent on anything in my entire life. Thank you, Dr. Karter, for returning my self-confidence, I can’t stop looking in the mirror, you truly are a genius.

    - JP Gilbert

  • I found Dr. Karter by accident, and I'm so happy I did. My genetic double-chin was killing my self-confidence for years; as early as my 20s with my weight at 115 lbs. From the day I submitted an inquiry form online, I was contacted by a patient care specialist, Erin, who answered all of my questions and was very patient with me. I have a very strict work schedule and Erin went out of her way to be sure I could secure the date that I wanted.

    This was a major surgery and decision, but I was completely comfortable with it. I had my procedure a little over a week ago and I am blown away by the results already. During the healing process, Dr. Karter and Erin have been amazing, responsive and very warm. They truly care about all of their patients. If you have a double-chin, do not settle for simple lipo or a neck lift without first consulting with Dr. Karter. He is one of the only surgeons in the state who is known for his deep plane face lift and you will not get these results elsewhere! I will post pictures when I am done healing, but I could not wait to write a review.

    - Melanie Scarlett

  • He is an amazing surgeon and perfected my rhinoplasty! It was better than I could have imagined and truly changed my life. He is very knowledgeable and an artist with his craft. Would recommend to anybody.

    - anife odai

  • I absolutely love the results that I see after my lower lid surgery! I was apprehensive at first, but Dr. Karter totally put me at ease! He answered all my questions and gave me various options for what I was looking for, and I am so happy now when I look in the mirror! Thank you so much Dr. Karter!

    - Dawn Kaplan

  • Dr. Karter is an artist, an incredibly talented surgeon, and he helped me plan the right approach to get the results I was looking for, removing years of aging from a 58 year old to have a natural, healthy, youthful look. It is UNBELIEVABLE how I now look the age that I feel. It's so natural that my sister commented that I look like a much younger version of me. Thank you so very much Dr. Karter. I never imagined that the investment in surgery would have had such a huge impact on my life!

    - Sherie

  • Always pleasant experience even tho I don’t like needles but results are worth it all!!!

    - Maria Higgins

  • I can't speak highly enough of Dr. KARTER's expertise and professionalism! I have tried few other places for Botox and Fillers and none came close! I highly recommend him to my family and all my friends.

    - Julia Cordos

  • I am very grateful for having found Dr. Karter. He is a very skillful and talented doctor who I selected after reading his online reviews to administer my dermal injections. I will look no further as Dr. Karter is a truly compassionate doctor who listens to what you are trying to accomplish and answers any questions you may have before beginning the procedure.

    - Gwenn

  • Dr. Karter is a wonderful and highly skilled surgeon. He patiently explained the procedures and made me feel at ease right away during my first appointment. Most importantly, he made me feel safe during my treatment.

He was professional, caring and very thorough in his explanations of the surgery and of the options I could pursue. I also used this surgery to help restore my eyelids to their original shape. His skill was very evident in restoring my natural looks.

    - patricia hamilton

  • Great experience with Dr. Seeley and his staff. I am breathing so much better at night. I have not been suffering from my usual nasal congestion and one sided headaches. Dr. Seeley also fixed an aesthetic issue during my procedure and I could not be happier with the results.Thank you!!xx

    - M Heartx

  • Dr. Karter has great bedside manner, very thorough, and he made me very comfortable from the moment he stepped into the consultation room. He thoroughly answered all of my questions before, during, and after my surgery. I never felt rushed during my post-op appointments and overall was given excellent care. He performed an otoplasty on me in January of 2021 (took me a while to finally write a review) and I couldn’t be happier with the results. He gave me a new found confidence. Additionally, Dr.Karter as well as his office staff are very friendly and accommodating. He has my stamp of approval and I will be recommending him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable facial plastic surgeon.

    - Maggie T

What Is a Brow Lift?

brow lift, or forehead lift, restores a youthful appearance to the upper face. This procedure concentrates specifically on the soft tissue over the eyes: the eyebrows and forehead. During a forehead lift, excess skin is removed, sagging is corrected, deep creases are smoothed, and contours are refreshed. Although a forehead lift treats the upper third of the face, patients often see improvement in their overall facial appearance from the balance it brings to their facial features.

Contemplating a brow lift? Begin your journey to facial rejuvenation by scheduling a consultation with our esteemed board-certified surgeons. This initial meeting serves as a gateway to understanding the transformative potential of a forehead lift tailored just for you. Our surgeons are dedicated to ensuring you have a comprehensive grasp of the procedure, addressing all your queries, and guiding you through the myriad of options available.

Post-consultation, you’ll be equipped with the insights and clarity needed to make an informed decision about the procedure. Should you decide to proceed, our team will assist in coordinating your surgery, ensuring a seamless experience. For the utmost in patient care and safety, all our surgeries are conducted at a specialized off-site surgical center.

Surgery Day: What to Expect from Forehead Lift Surgery in Farmington & Hartford, CT

On the day of your brow lift surgery, you’ll be warmly welcomed at our off-site state-of-the-art surgical center. After a smooth check-in process, you’ll be guided to the pre-operative area to prepare for the procedure. For optimal surgical outcomes and to minimize the risk of infection, we advise patients to cleanse their face and hair with a prescribed antibacterial soap.

Before the surgery begins, your dedicated surgeon will join you in the pre-op area for a final review of the treatment objectives and to provide a comprehensive overview of the post-operative care. This is also the time when, if necessary, precise surgical markings will be made to guide the procedure.

The brow lift surgery typically spans one to two hours. However, the duration might be extended if other facial rejuvenation treatments are done as well. The specific technique employed for your brow lift—whether it’s an endoscopic lift, a coronal lift, or another method—will be determined by your unique facial structure and the goals established during your consultation.

During the procedure, the brow’s skin is meticulously elevated, underlying muscles are adjusted, and any surplus skin is delicately excised. The final step involves sealing the incision with either metal clips or fine sutures, ensuring minimal scarring. Our objective is to achieve results that radiate natural beauty. We pride ourselves on tailoring each procedure to resonate with the individual’s unique facial anatomy, ensuring outcomes that not only enhance but also harmonize with their overall appearance.

Recovery After Brow Lift Surgery

Our forehead lift patients can recover in the comfort of their own homes. After surgery, you’ll spend one to two hours in our recovery area before returning home. Make sure you arrange for someone to drive you and stay with you for a couple of days. We’ll call that night to make sure you’re doing well, and you’ll come to our office for a follow-up check a day or two later.

Bandaging may be used after a forehead lift, but not always. If we use bandaging, we’ll remove it one to three days after your procedure. Sutures are removed about a week after surgery. Patients can resume hair washing after a few days.

Bruising, swelling, and minor discomfort are common and expected. Most patients won’t need prescription pain medications, although we do provide them if needed. You may feel numbness or itching around the incision site.

Most patients return to work after two weeks. Visible signs of surgery are usually gone in about three weeks. Limit strenuous activities for several weeks, until you’re cleared to resume these activities by your surgeon. Many of our patients are pleasantly surprised by the ease of their recovery experience after a brow lift.

Frequently Asked Questions About Brow Lift Surgery

Like all surgical procedures, a forehead lift comes with potential risks, including infection, bleeding, scarring, nerve damage, and anesthesia complications. It’s also possible to experience temporary numbness, itching, or hair loss at the incision sites. Some patients might notice asymmetry in the brow position or experience prolonged swelling. It’s crucial to follow all post-operative instructions and attend follow-up appointments to monitor healing and address any concerns promptly.

Choosing a reputable and experienced surgeon, like our team at Connecticut Facial Plastic Surgery, significantly reduces the likelihood of complications. We prioritize patient education, so during your consultation, we’ll discuss these potential risks in detail and answer any questions you may have, ensuring you’re well-informed and confident in your decision to proceed with the surgery.

The cost of a brow lift can vary based on several factors, including the surgeon’s experience, the complexity of the procedure, geographic location, and the surgical facility’s fees. Additionally, the type of brow lift technique chosen and any additional procedures or treatments combined with the brow lift can influence the overall brow lift cost. It’s essential to prioritize quality and expertise over cost alone. During your consultation at Connecticut Facial Plastic Surgery, we will provide a detailed brow lift cost breakdown tailored to your specific needs and treatment plan.

Most patients describe a tightness sensation after surgery with limited discomfort. The majority of patients do not require anything more than Tylenol for post-surgical soreness. Select patients may require narcotic pain medication, but rarely is this needed for more than a few days.

The procedure provides long-lasting effects. Your forehead lift results will depend on your anatomy, genetics, environment, and lifestyle. Often, the procedure improves appearance for a lifetime. Ask us about non-surgical treatments to maintain your results.

The procedure is often performed in conjunction with other facial plastic surgery procedures, such as a facelift, eyelid lift or neck lift. Complementary non-surgical procedures including Botox, chemical peels, and dermal fillers can enhance and maintain your results.

If you’re thinking about a brow lift but aren’t sure if it is right for you, come in for a consultation. We would love to discuss the procedure in more depth with you. At a consultation, we’ll discuss your goals and reservations, ensuring we create a treatment plan that will be safe and effective for you. If a brow lift isn’t right, we’ll work with you to find other options. Generally, the best candidates for the surgery are in good health and have realistic goals and expectations for the procedure.

A typical surgery takes approximately 1 to 2 hours, depending on the extent of the procedure and any additional treatments being performed simultaneously.
