Forehead Lift (Brow Lift) in San Antonio, TX

Understanding the Brow Lift Procedure

A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is a sophisticated surgical procedure designed to minimize aging signs in the forehead region. This technique addresses horizontal creases, frown lines, and drooping eyebrows, ultimately creating a more youthful and refreshed facial appearance.

Surgical Techniques

Earl E. Ferguson MD offers two primary brow lift techniques:

• Classic Lift: Involves an incision across the top of the head from hairline to ears
• Endoscopic Lift: Utilizes three to five smaller incisions, minimizing scarring and recovery time

Procedure Details

The brow lift surgery typically requires one to two hours and is performed under general anesthesia or intravenous sedation. The surgical approach depends on individual facial characteristics, including skin texture, bone structure, and eyebrow positioning.

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect to return home the same day, with most swelling subsiding within two weeks. Full recovery and scar fading can take up to six months, during which patients will experience gradual aesthetic improvements.

Potential Risks

Like all surgical procedures, brow lifts carry potential risks such as:

• Temporary hair loss around incision sites
• Facial asymmetry
• Potential nerve injury
• Temporary eye irritation
