UNDERSTANDING BROW LIFT SURGERY

A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is a surgical procedure
designed to elevate the eyebrows and restore a more youthful, alert
appearance to the upper face. At the Plastic Surgery Institute of
Washington, this transformative procedure helps patients address
visible signs of aging around the eyes and forehead.

INDICATIONS FOR BROW LIFT SURGERY

Patients may benefit from a brow lift procedure when experiencing:

 	* Deep creases across the forehead
	* Drooping or heavy upper eyelids
	* Eyebrows positioned below the orbital rim
	* A consistently tired or aged facial appearance

BROW LIFT TECHNIQUES

ENDOSCOPIC BROW LIFT

The endoscopic technique involves minimal invasiveness with the
following steps:

 	* Six small, one-inch incisions within the hairline
	* Use of a pencil-sized camera (endoscope) to guide the procedure
	* Precise elevation of forehead skin and eyebrows
	* Temporary surgical screws to maintain new positioning

OPEN BROW LIFT TECHNIQUES

Two primary open techniques are utilized based on individual patient
needs:

 	* Coronal Brow Lift: Involves an ear-to-ear incision for
comprehensive forehead rejuvenation
	* Anterior Hairline Brow Lift: Ideal for patients with high foreheads
seeking balanced facial proportions

PROCEDURE AND RECOVERY

The brow lift is typically performed under general anesthesia on an
outpatient basis. Patients can expect:

 	* Initial recovery period of two weeks with limited activities
	* Gradual return to normal activities within three to four weeks
	* Potential temporary forehead and scalp numbness

POTENTIAL RISKS AND CONSIDERATIONS

While complications are rare, patients should be aware of potential
risks such as:

 	* Infection
	* Minor bleeding
	* Temporary sensory changes
	* Potential need for revision surgery

COMPLEMENTARY PROCEDURES

Brow lifts can be effectively combined with other facial rejuvenation
procedures, including:

 	* Facelift
	* Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery)
