Brow Lift |
|
When the face begins to age, it develops age lines, or wrinkles. The appearance of wrinkles and lines is a negative image for some patients. These patients go through a procedure known as a brow lift.
The procedure of a brow lift is almost the same as a forehead lift. In these procedures the muscles of the face are pulled to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, frown line, and sagging eyebrows. When a brow or forehead lift is complete, the result is a more youthful appearance and tighter face.
Combining a facelift and forehead lift is very common. These procedures smooth the wrinkles and lines in the face to rejuvenate the face and skin.

Reasons for Considering a Brow Lift: |
- Brows that are sagging
- Wrinkles on the forehead due to age
- Heavy frown lines

Procedure Detail |
|
The temporal brow lift procedure begins with two incisions made on the hairline of the patient in the shape of a diamond. The skin between the incision and the brow line is cut and removed. The scarring is almost invisible and to prevent fluid from collecting when the skin is stitched back together, drains are placed on the hairline.
Another method of a brow lift is called the coronal brow lift. This procedure involved making an incision across the scalp towards the brow and the skin is lifted and pulled tight. When the wound is sutured shut, the surgeon then cuts the excess skin away. This procedure should be performed on patients with a low hairline because a disadvantage to this method is the rising of the hairline. This method also could contribute a noticeable scar. An advantage of the coronal brow lift is that a noticeable elevation of the brows is present.

Recovery |
|
Patients, who undergo a brow lift, must keep their head up for up to three days after surgery to minimize swelling. The surgeon will advise patients to have limited mobility for a week after surgery and the patient can start to shampoo their hair after two days.
Patients can return to their daily tasks, like work or school, in less than two weeks and all of the signs and symptoms of ever having surgery will disappear in three weeks.
When you meet with your doctor for a consultation they will let you know what procedure is best for you to suit your cosmetic needs.
