Brow Lift Encino

Brow Lift Encino

Also referred to as a forehead lift

A brow lift tightens the sagging tissues of the brow to restore a more youthful contour. It not only affects the brow area but also the eyebrows. Brow lifts are among the oldest plastic surgeries and have been performed with increasingly good results for over a century.

There are three primary methods for performing a brow lift:

Endoscopic:

Four to five incisions are made behind the hairline through which an endoscope (a tiny camera used for minimally invasive procedures) and other surgical instruments can be inserted. The skin is separated from the underlying tissues, sutures are inserted, pulled upwards, tightened and tied in place. The incisions are then closed.

Coronal:

A single incision is made above the hairline from ear to ear. The skin and tissues of the forehead are then tightened, with excess tissues removed, before the remaining tissues are secured and the incision closed.

Temporal:

An incision is made above the hairline at each temple area. Then, the underlying skin and tissues are raised and tightened. This procedure is performed to lift the outer brow area.

FAQ

About Brow Lifts

A youthful eyebrow at rest is positioned above the orbital rim, with a gradual arch, and the tail of the brow located higher than the medial end. As we age, it is common for the eyebrow to assume a flat or horizontal position and a brow lift corrects that.

Yes. Combining complementary surgeries is common practice. Doing multiple procedures on the same day typically does not lengthen recovery time.

Yes. All patients require medical clearance, basic lab tests, their medical history, and a physical from their primary care physician before surgery. If the patient is 45 or over we also require an EKG.

General anesthesia and twilight anesthesia are available to keep patients pain-free during the entire operation. However, patients with less involved procedures may do very well with lighter sedation and will be kept completely comfortable throughout.  For maximum safety, we always use a board-certified anesthesiologist.

Yes. Patients will require a family member or friend to be with them immediately after the procedure as per the doctor’s instructions.

The duration of surgery depends on the type of brow lift as well as whether other procedures are being performed at the same time. A brow lift by itself does not typically require more than an hour.

Initial wound healing may take 10 to 14 days. Most patients are ready to return to work nine to 10 days after surgery.

The scars are well hidden and are usually only noticeable by the patient. Scars are always present but a good plastic surgeon knows how to hide them and how to make them as inconspicuous as possible.

Brow lift surgery provides long-lasting correction and the results usually last for many years. However, it cannot stop the natural aging process. A rejuvenated appearance will age naturally after the procedure.
