A brow lift treatment can help reduce signs of aging caused by a sagging browline. A brow lift is designed to remodel the muscles and tissues along the brow to create a more youthful appearance. Read on to learn more about brow lifts and the noticeable difference this procedure can make.
Brow Lift Overview
A brow lift, also called an eyebrow lift, is an outpatient surgical procedure that’s designed to reduce the appearance of droopiness around the eyebrows. The results of the procedure help turn back signs of aging by reducing wrinkles and fine lines around the forehead, eyes, and nose.
Total recovery time from a brow lift runs between seven to 10 days. As with any surgical procedure, the physician you choose will determine the quality of results you see. Dr. Scott Greenberg is a board-certified plastic surgeon with decades of experience in the field.
Benefits of a Brow Lift
Reducing signs of aging along the browline can have noticeable effects on your looks. Here are just a few benefits to be had from a brow lift procedure:
- Smoothes out frown lines
- Reduces vertical creases between the eyebrows
- Lifts sagging brows that cause hoods to form over the upper eyelids
- Reduces forehead wrinkles and fine lines
- Smoothes out wrinkles and fine lines on the bridge of the nose
Am I a Good Candidate for a Brow Lift?
You may be a good candidate for a brow lift if:
- You experience moderate to severe forehead sagging
- Your brow makes you look like you’re frowning or deep in thought when you’re not
- You have sagging upper eyelids
Dr. Scott Greenberg of Winter Park Plastic Surgery will explain the effects of a brow lift in detail to ensure this is the right procedure for you. The doctor will also go over other cosmetic options that produce similar results, including eyelid surgery, skin resurfacing, and facelifting.
What’s Involved with a Brow Lift?
The procedure uses the “minimal incision” technique, which places several small incisions along the scalp line and upper eyelids. From there, Dr. Greenberg remodels the muscle and skin tissue while removing any excess tissue, then sets the browline in a more pleasing position.
A brow lift or eyebrow lift procedure takes place in-office and can be performed at the same time as other facial rejuvenation treatments.
What Results Can I Expect After a Brow Lift?
- Immediate and noticeable improvement
- Reduction in fine lines and wrinkles around the brow, eyes, and nose
- A more youthful appearance
- Mild swelling that resolves within a week
- Discoloration around the treatment areas for up to two weeks
- Incision lines that fade as the site heals
- Full results take shape within three months
Is There Any Downtime with Brow Lift Surgery?
After a brow lift procedure, expect to stay in a recovery area for one to two hours. Showering is permissible on the day after surgery.
Most patients can return to work and daily activities within seven to 10 days.
