Understanding Brow Lift Surgery in Houston
A brow lift serves to improve the appearance of the forehead, eyebrows, and upper eyelids. As individuals age, the facial tissues begin to sag, causing the eyebrows to appear lower and creating a more aged appearance around the eyes.
What is a Brow Lift?
A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is a surgical procedure designed to address several age-related concerns:
- Repositioning low or sagging eyebrows
- Smoothing forehead wrinkles and lines
- Correcting frown lines between the eyebrows
- Potentially improving vision obstructed by excess skin
Surgical Techniques
Lift Plastic Surgery offers multiple brow lift techniques tailored to individual patient needs. The most common approach is the endoscopic brow lift, which involves:
- 2-4 small incisions within the hairline
- Using a camera and specialized instruments to reposition forehead and eyebrow tissues
- Carefully lifting tissues to a more youthful position
- Disrupting muscles that cause wrinkle formation
Candidacy for Brow Lift Surgery
Ideal candidates for brow lift surgery are individuals experiencing:
- Drooping eyebrows
- Excess skin on the upper eyelids
- Deep forehead wrinkles
- Vision impairment due to sagging skin
Recovery and Expectations
Patients can expect some initial swelling and bruising following the procedure. Most individuals can return to normal activities within one week, with complete healing occurring over several weeks. A compression garment is typically recommended to minimize swelling and optimize results.
Potential Risks
While brow lift surgery is generally safe, potential risks may include:
- Infection
- Facial asymmetry
- Scarring
- Fluid accumulation
- Delayed wound healing
