Brow Lift (Forehead Lift)
Deep furrows and droopiness in the brow can be corrected with a brow lift, an effective aesthetic enhancement procedure designed to give you a more youthful, refreshed appearance. A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, addresses wrinkles and fine lines in the forehead. As we age, furrows and frown lines in the forehead region can have an effect on the entire face, giving you an older, tired appearance. Doctors at the Long Island Plastic Surgical Group can reverse these effects with a brow lift and significantly reduce signs of age and exhaustion. Plastic surgeons at LIPSG are some of the most experienced in the region, and are highly adept at providing facial plastic surgery procedures such as brow lift with results that appear natural, as though you’ve never had work done.
Contact LISPG to schedule a consultation for brow lift surgery from our Long Island, New York practice. At this initial consultation, you will have the opportunity to see a computer-generated image of what you may look like after brow lift surgery before you set foot in the operating room. With Vectra 3-D imaging, our plastic surgeon can show you the possible results of your procedure by compiling photos of your own facial features with specific medical data to form an image of the potential outcome.
Brow Lift
Candidates for brow lift are typically those who are affected by furrows and creases in the forehead and sagginess around the eyebrows. Most patients who have brow lift surgery are between 40 and 50 years old; however, some patients experience sagging skin and furrows around the eyebrows in their 20′s and 30′s as the result of heredity, and these individuals may also benefit from a brow lift.
One of our plastic surgeons will meet with you in an initial consultation to discuss all aspects of the brow lift procedure and address your questions and concerns.
Brow Lift Procedure
The most traditional brow lift surgery technique involves a discreet incision made just above the hairline. Excess fat and skin are removed, and the remaining skin and underlying muscles are tightened to create a smoother, wrinkle-free appearance. Scarring is virtually invisible and easily hidden.
Brow lift surgery is usually performed as an outpatient using a local anesthetic and a mild sedative. The procedure can be performed at one of our new operating rooms at LIPSG’s Garden City facility. Certified by the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities, Inc. (AAAASF), these OR suites are fully equipped surgical facilities and adhere to the highest standards of care.
Brow Lift Recovery
Patients will need to keep the head elevated for several days after brow lift surgery to minimize swelling. Numbness, bruising, and discomfort are common side effects after the procedure, but these should dissipate after a few days and any pain can be managed with medication. Patients can typically resume normal daily activities about 7 to 10 days following a brow lift procedure. Less recovery time will be needed after an endoscopic brow lift. Activities that increase blood pressure and strenuous exercise should be avoided for several weeks.
After brow lift surgery, patients should have a more youthful, refreshed appearance.
Brow Lift Risks
Safety is our top priority, and our experienced physicians and medical staff at Long Island Plastic Surgical Group will take every precaution to minimize risks and ensure a smooth, safe procedure and recovery process. One of our plastic surgeons will discuss the risks and benefits of brow lift surgery, as well as every step of the procedure with you, from pre-operative details to after-care information, prior to the procedure.
