Effect / Causes
Procedure
A brow lift is designed to correct all of these aging features, restoring a more youthful, rested appearance with uplifted contours and improved tone in facial skin and underlying muscle.
1. PRE OPERATIVE
Initially in brow & forehead surgery, the cosmetic surgeons observe and ask for the desired facial or forehead symmetry.
2. ACTUAL PROCEDURE
Brow lift surgery can be performed through endoscopic forehead lift surgery through few limited incisions hidden within the hairline or through a single incision in the natural crease of each upper eyelid.
Results of a direct brow lift may be enhanced through laser resurfacing or a chemical peel that can further improve skin tone and surface appearance. When there is significant excess skin in the forehead, an alternate technique using a wide incision across the top of the scalp may be recommended.
3. POST ROCEDURE
Swelling and bruising will subside within 2-4 weeks. Final results may be apparent in 1-2 months. Incision lines will continue to refine and fade in 1 year. After the treatment bandage is applied and drainage tubes are also used if required. So in that case little bit of bruising and discomfort can be seen.
