At Springfield Clinic’s The Center for Plastic Surgery, we believe it is essential for our patients to be well-informed and develop a thorough understanding of the procedures they are considering. The information below provides a general overview of this specific plastic surgery procedure.
Who is a candidate for Brow Lift? Anyone who wants to correct the appearance of frown lines, which are deep vertical furrows between the eyebrows that cause one to look worried or stressed out. Springfield, IL plastic surgeons Dr. Bergman, Dr. Brown, and Dr. Sinha are experienced performing brow lift.
Intended results: Create a more youthful and rested appearance to the upper face
Procedure description:
- The incisions are usually made behind the hairline. For patients with high foreheads, the incisions can be placed in front of the hairline.
- The operation is done using an endoscope (a narrow hollow instrument with a fiber optic light source and camera, through which the procedure is done with small special instruments.)
- The forehead skin is lifted and repositioned and muscles that cause frown lines are weakened.
Recuperation and healing: Patients return home with dressings that are usually removed on the first or second day after surgery. Initial discomfort is easily controlled with oral medication. Most swelling and bruising is gone in 7 to 10 days.
Other options: Additional procedures that may enhance the result of a forehead lift are Lower and/or Upper Eyelid Lift, Facelift or other facial procedures or implants.
Note: The specific risks and the suitability of this procedure for a given individual can be determined only at the time of consultation. All surgical procedures have some degree of risk.
