Plastic Surgery

Heavy, sagging eyebrows and forehead wrinkles can make you look older, worried and tired. Brow lift or forehead lift surgery is can reposition the eyebrow and help to smooth out forehead wrinkles. This surgery is often done in combination with other procedures such as eyelid lift or facelift.

Brow Lift Surgery: What to Expect

  • Surgical Setting - these procedures can be performed on an outpatient basis meaning you go home on the same day. Patients undergoing more extensive brow lifts or combining this surgery with a face lift may have to spend one night in the hospital.
  • Anesthesia - General anesthetic

About the Surgery
The location of the incision depends on the unique needs of each patient, most often the incisions can be hidden in or along the hairline

After Surgery
Most patients take 1-2 weeks off from work. Swelling and bruising can last for 1-2 weeks. Immediately after surgery patients must avoid any activity that will raise their blood pressure and the head is kept elevated to help decrease swelling. After about 2 weeks light exercise such as walking can be resumed but sports and vigorous exercise must be avoided for 4-6 weeks.
