It’s important to note that brow lift surgery is a surgical procedure and should be approached with careful consideration. Potential risks and complications, such as temporary or permanent changes in sensation, scarring, hair loss at the incision sites, infection, or adverse reactions to anesthesia, should be discussed with Dr. Nguyen before making a decision.
Brow lift surgery can be performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation, depending on the extent of the procedure and your comfort level. The surgeon will discuss the anesthesia options with you prior to the surgery.
The surgeon will make incisions based on the chosen technique. The incision patterns can vary and may include:
This technique involves a long incision across the top of the head, hidden within the hairline. It allows for significant lifting and tightening of the forehead and brow area.
This technique uses several small incisions within the hairline. A tiny camera (endoscope) is inserted through one of the incisions to visualize and guide the surgical instruments for lifting the brow.
This technique involves shorter incisions placed at the temples. It is suitable for individuals with mild sagging or asymmetry of the brows.
The surgeon will lift and reposition the underlying tissues and muscles of the forehead and brow area to create a more youthful appearance. Excess skin may be removed, and the remaining skin is carefully re-draped to achieve a smoother and lifted result.
After the necessary adjustments and tissue repositioning, the incisions are closed using sutures or other closure techniques. The surgeon may also use skin adhesives or surgical tape to minimize tension on the incisions.
Following the surgery, you will be given specific post-operative instructions regarding pain management, wound care, and activity restrictions. Swelling and bruising are common after a brow lift, but they typically subside within a few weeks. It’s important to follow your surgeon’s recommendations for a smooth recovery.
