What Is a Brow Lift?
A brow lift is a procedure to lift the eyebrows and remove excess forehead skin for a more youthful appearance. This can be done alone or as part of a combination approach with procedures like upper or lower eyelid surgery or a facelift.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Most men and women who have had drooping of the brows, increased forehead lines, and/or visual field obstruction are excellent candidates for a brow lift. You should be healthy and not using any nicotine products. A consultation with Dr. Ramineni or Dr. Nghiem will help determine whether a brow lift is the right option based on your aesthetic goals and medical history.
How Is The Procedure Performed?
We will begin with the administration of either general or local anesthesia. Depending on the type of brow lift, incisions are made at the hairline, behind the hairline, or at the top of the scalp. This procedure can be done with a tiny incision to suspend the brow after lifting it. Or, if major lifting is needed, a strip of skin or tissue can be removed.
Once the brow is repositioned, the incisions are carefully closed with sutures. The brow lift procedure typically takes one to two hours.
What Is Recovery Like?
Recovery is quick, and most patients return to work within a few days. Sutures are removed 5-10 days post-op, and scar care is continued for two months. Pain is minimal, but some bruising and swelling are to be expected.
Patients should avoid strenuous exercise during the initial healing period but can resume light activities like walking as they feel comfortable. Dr. Ramineni and Dr. Nghiem provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.
