Understanding Brow Lift Surgery
As individuals age, the eyebrows and forehead tend to descend, creating a facial expression that appears permanently tired and angry. Dr. Schwartz may recommend a brow lift to return the skin above the eyes to its original, elevated position, restoring a more refreshed overall appearance.
What Can a Brow Lift Correct?
When performed by an expert plastic surgeon like Dr. Schwartz, a brow lift can successfully:
- Elevate a sagging, aging brow to allow a more open upper part of the face
- Smooth forehead wrinkles, frown lines, and furrows
- Restore a smoother and more youthful facial appearance
- Ensure that your facial expression no longer appears permanently angry, worried, or tired
Brow Lift Surgical Approach
To prepare for a brow lift, Dr. Schwartz will thoroughly explain what you can expect during an initial consultation. He will carefully evaluate your unique needs and recommend an optimal treatment approach.
Most contemporary brow lifts are performed through limited or temporal incisions. These small incisions near or in the hairline are strategically placed to be well-hidden and allow excellent movement of the outer third of the eyebrow – the key area for creating a more youthful, elegant appearance.
Candidacy for Brow Lift
Dr. Schwartz determines candidacy on an individual basis. Generally, suitable candidates include men and women experiencing:
- Sagging brow
- Deep forehead wrinkles
- Facial aging that makes them appear older
Candidates should be in good overall health and possess realistic expectations. The procedure aims to refresh your appearance while maintaining your unique facial characteristics.
Recovery Expectations
A brow lift involves a substantial recovery period. Patients can expect temporary swelling, pain, and bruising, which can be managed with prescribed pain medication. Recovery guidelines typically include:
- Elevating the head
- Applying ice to reduce swelling
- Avoiding strenuous physical activity
Most patients resume normal daily activities within one to two weeks.
