Understanding Brow Lift Procedures in Mobile, AL

Every year, more than 40,000 men and women undergo a brow lift, also known as a forehead lift. For Mobile patients, this procedure addresses wrinkles and loose skin on the forehead and brow area, helping to restore a more youthful appearance.

What is a Brow Lift?

A brow lift is a surgical procedure designed to raise the brows and improve facial appearance. The primary goals include:

• Removing muscles that cause frowning and lines between the eyebrows
• Elevating drooping or low-set brows
• Smoothing horizontal forehead lines and furrows

Ideal Candidates for Brow Lift Surgery

Dr. Proffitt recommends a brow lift for patients who exhibit:

• Pronounced frown lines
• Drooping or low-set brow
• Crow's feet
• Horizontal forehead lines
• Loose upper eyelid skin not fully correctable with blepharoplasty

Brow Lift Techniques

Dr. Proffitt specializes in the endoscopic brow lift technique, a less invasive approach involving 3 to 5 small incisions behind the hairline. Using a camera-equipped instrument, the procedure allows for precise tissue manipulation and lifting.

Surgical Procedure Details

Brow lift surgery is typically performed as an outpatient procedure, taking approximately 1 to 1.5 hours. Patients can choose between local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, administered under the supervision of a board-certified anesthesiologist.

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect:

• Bruising and swelling for 1-3 weeks
• Removal of staples or sutures after one week
• Resume normal activities within a week
• Wait three weeks for strenuous activities

Cost Considerations

Brow lift is a cosmetic procedure and is not covered by insurance. The total cost varies based on anesthesia fees, surgical techniques, and additional medical requirements.
