A brow-lift is an outpatient procedure that rejuvenates the forehead to give the patient a more refreshed, younger appearance. It is done by removing excess skin that causes sagging and repositioning the underlying muscles and tissues. This way, deep furrows or sagging brows are eliminated and the patient receives a youthful contour.
Any man or woman who is unhappy with the way their eyebrows look can have an eyebrow lift. If you suffer from sagging brows or have thick lines in between your eyebrows, you can come in for a consultation and our ITMT Group doctors would be happy to assist you. Patients who go for this surgery usually have a tired, sad or old appearance due to the weight that sagging eyebrows place on the eyelids
Brow lift surgery is an outpatient procedure, performed using general anesthesia or intravenous sedation with local anesthesia. The length of surgery depends entirely on which type of brow lift be applied. Another factor on the duration of the procedure is whether another procedures are being performed at the same time or not. An eyebrow lift can be accompanied with an eyelid surgery or a forehead surgery. In that case the lenght of the operation will be a little longer.
The incisions can be closed with sutures or staples, which are typically removed about 1 week after surgery. It is normal for patients to experience very little pain after a brow lift. It is also common to feel slight discomfort as well as a sensation of tightness throughout the forehead. Swelling and bruising are commonly seen during the first 10 days or so after surgery. They clear out after about 2 weeks.
