Brow Lift
Brow Lift
Multiple surgical approaches can be used to get the desired effect. The most current technique, called an endoscopic brow lift, involves the use of a surgical telescope to elevate the brows and smooth forehead wrinkles through small incisions made behind the hairline. Endoscopic surgery is less invasive than the traditional approach, and the scars are much smaller.
The endoscopic approach is typically best suited for patients who do not have deep horizontal lines across the forehead or a lot of loose skin on the forehead. Also, a brow lift can be performed alone or with other cosmetic procedures such as a face lift, eye lid surgery, or chemical peel if our surgeons determine that this is appropriate for you for the best outcome.
What to expect from cosmetic brow lift surgery:
| Anesthesia | Usually local with IV sedation |
| Length of Surgery | 1 to 2 hours |
| In/Outpatient | Generally out-patient in our accredited on-site surgery center |
| Recovery | Back to work: 5 to 10 days depending on the procedure. Strenuous activity: 3 to 4 weeks. |
| Fading of Scars | Several months to one year. |
| Duration of Results | Several years, sometimes permanent. |

Risks involved with facial cosmetic surgery
No surgical procedure is risk free, and that includes facial cosmetic surgery. Although cosmetic surgery is an elective procedure, every patient must understand that these procedures are real surgical operations that involve the potential for complications. However, most cosmetic surgery procedures are categorized as low risk when performed in an accredited facility, by a board certified plastic surgeon with the appropriate training and qualifications.
Surgical risks can be categorized broadly into general risks and specific risks. General risks are the potential complications that are common to all surgical procedures, such as infection, bleeding, wound healing problems, and anesthetic complications. Specific risks are the potential complications that are unique to the specific facial surgery operations. A more detailed discussion about the specific risks and general risks of your specific facial procedure will be carried out during your surgical consultation.
The risk of complications from a facial surgery can be minimized with a combination of the proper knowledge, skill, sound surgical practices and by closely following your surgeon’s instructions on follow-up care during the recovery period.
