As we get older, our
forehead and eyebrows tend to lower often giving us a tired or mean
look. To combat this, plastic surgeons perform brow lifts to tighten and improve their patients’ appearance. Both men and women attain a more youthful,
bright and rested look with this form of facial surgery.

Looking
Rested and Younger
A
brow lift may be performed either "open" via a coronal
(scalp) or hairline incision or "closed" with the aid of
multiple small incisions and an endoscope. After the forehead and
brows are lifted, excess skin is removed and or secured in place. No
bandages are normally applied, and the patient often returns home the day of the
surgery if no other procedures are performed at the same
time.
The Surgery
This surgery is performed at an outpatient
surgical center and is done under general anesthesia by a Board
Certified anesthesiologist. The procedure takes 1 1/2 hours, and the first
5 days of recovery requires reduced activity. Post operative
discomfort is controlled with medications during the first few days.
Bruising and swelling subsides in 7 to 10 days and the patient can then return to work and social situations.
