The Brow Lift or Forehead Lift cosmetically corrects drooping brows, upper eyelids, and sagging skin on the forehead. It is designed to dramatically help improve the horizontal lines and furrows that can make a person appear angry, sad, or tired. Brow Lift or Forehead Lift can often be performed at the same time as a face lift. A face lift tightens muscles and removes excess skin in the mid and lower face. Eyelid surgery can also be combined if there is overhanging skin of the upper eyelids or puffiness of the lower eyelids. The advantage of combining procedures is that there will be only one recovery period and there is a cost saving for anesthesia and operating room fees.
What are the Indications for a Brow Lift or Forehead Lift?Low position of brows, horizontal creasing of forehead, frown lines or furrows are all reasons to consider a brow lift.
Am I a Candidate for a Brow Lift?The best candidate is a patient whose forehead's muscles and tissues need to be reconstructed to be tighter. The frowning and drooping are removed and replaced with a smooth forehead, raised eyebrows, and fewer frown lines
What Can I Expect with the Brow Lift or Forehead Lift Procedure?The traditional procedure requires incisions hidden in your hairline while the newer procedures only require a few small incisions and some endoscopic probes. Regardless of the technique, the results are similar and patients are extremely happy with their new refreshed and youthful look.
What Are the Advantages of Having a Brow Lift?Patients who have a Brow Lift or Forehead Lift surgery look younger, feel more confident, and generally look happier.
How Long Does It Take?A brow lift generally takes 1-2 hours.
How Many Treatments Are Required?Only one treatment is required.
How Long Do the Results Last?The results are very long -lasting – usually many years.
Will I Have Pain?As anesthesia is used, there is no pain during the procedure. A certain degree of swelling and bruising is normal. Cold compresses, as well as head elevation when lying down, will enhance healing and relieve discomfort. Mild discomfort is usually easily controlled with medications prescribed by your plastic surgeon.
When Can I Go Back to Work or School?You can be back to your normal activities in about 7-10 days.
Who Will Perform My Brow Lift?Treatments are performed by fully licensed and highly skilled plastic surgeons in state-of-the-art, fully-accredited outpatient surgical centers for ultimate safety and comfort.
Will My Insurance Cover A Brow Lift?Brow Lift is generally considered a cosmetic procedure and not covered by insurance. However, correcting sagging eyebrow problems that interfere with your vision may sometimes be covered by your health insurance. Pre-authorization by the insurance company is required prior to surgery. (insurance coverage) <
