Brow Lift
Understanding Brow Lift
A brow lift addresses the common signs of aging, such as sagging brows and forehead wrinkles, which can create an angry or fatigued expression. As we age, the skin loses elasticity, leading to drooping in the brow area. This surgical procedure involves removing excess skin from the forehead and lifting the eyebrows, resulting in a smoother and more youthful appearance. Brow lifts can be performed on both men and women and are often combined with other treatments, such as dermal fillers and BOTOX®, to achieve more comprehensive results. The procedure can effectively restore balance to the facial features and enhance self-confidence.
Treatment Overview
Brow lift surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia and lasts about 1 to 2 hours. The surgeon will make incisions, often hidden within the hairline, to remove excess skin and tighten the underlying tissues. After repositioning the brow, the incisions are closed, promoting healing with minimal visible scarring. Recovery varies by patient, but swelling, discomfort, and bruising are common in the initial stages. Patients are advised to rest with their heads elevated for several days and to avoid strenuous activities during the recovery period. Results are often noticeable immediately, with the final outcome becoming clearer as swelling subsides.
