Intended Results of Brow Lift Cosmetic Surgery
A forehead lift (browlift) is intended to give a more youthful and rested appearance to the forehead and upper eyelids.
Brow Lift Surgery Procedure Information
Browlift is done on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia or monitored sedation. The incisions are usually made behind the hairline. For patients with high foreheads, the incisions can be placed in front of the hairline. The operation is done using an endoscope (a narrow hollow instrument with a fiber optic light source and camera, through which the procedure is done with small special instruments.) The forehead skin is lifted and repositioned. The muscles that cause frown lines are weakened. The patient goes home with head wrapped in dressings, which are usually removed on the first or second day after surgery. Initial discomfort is easily controlled with oral medication. Sutures or staples are removed within 10 days and most swelling and bruising is gone in 7 to 10 days.
A lateral brow lift (lifting the outer brow and skin around the outer eye) is a less complicated procedure with a short recuperation. A 2 inch incision is made beginning along the outer forehead and curves into the side hairline. The excess skin is excised and the incision sutured. The stitches are removed in 7 days.
Additional procedures that may enhance the result of a forehead lift are Lower and/or Upper Eyelid Lift, Face Lift, or other facial procedures or implants
The specific risks and the suitability of the forehead lift procedure for a given individual can be determined only at the time of consultation. All surgical procedures have some degree of risk. Minor complications that do not affect the outcome occur occasionally. Major complications are rare.
