Brow Lift
If deep expression lines or other signs of aging in the brow region bother you, a brow lift may be a good procedure for you. A brow lift will:
- Minimize creases that develop across your forehead, or creases that occur high on the bridge of your nose, between the eyes
- Improve “frown lines”, vertical creases that develop between your eyebrows
- Reposition a low or sagging brow that is hooding your upper eyelid
- Raise your eyebrows to a more alert and youthful position
Common rejuvenation procedures performed in conjunction with a brow lift include:
- Eyelid surgery to rejuvenate aging eyes
- Facelift to correct common aging changes in the mid- to lower face and neck regions
- Skin resurfacing techniques
Is a Brow Lift Right for You?
A brow lift is a highly individualized procedure, unique to your individual goals and needs. You should only undergo the procedure for yourself, not to fulfill someone else’s desires or to try to fit any sort of ideal image. Brow lift surgery is a good option for you if:
- You are physically healthy
- You do not smoke
- You have a positive outlook and specific, but realistic, goals in mind for the improvement of your appearance
What to Expect After Your Procedure
Initial surgical wound healing may take 5 to 10 days, at which time any sutures or clips will be removed by your surgeon. You will be ready to return to work and normal activity at this time. Cosmetics can be used to hide any bruising that remains.
Healing will continue for several weeks as the swelling dissipates and incision lines refine and fade. Complete recovery may take several months.
