Brow lift San Jose

Comments your information will be kept private

A browlift, also known as a forehead lift, is a surgical procedure able to provide a younger, more refreshed appearance by elevating a sagging brow and diminishing forehead wrinkles. The browlift is often performed as an endoscopic procedure, a minimally invasive technique that has replaced older procedures which required a large incision and produced numbness of the forehead and anterior half of the scalp. The best candidate for a browlift is a man or woman who is physically healthy, realistic in their expectations, and looking to improve the appearance of a drooping brow and/or forehead lines. The procedure is ideal for younger patients who do not want to undergo a full facelift.

Browlifts are typically performed with a combination of local anesthesia and sedation. For an endoscopic procedure, three small incisions are made within the hairline. The endoscope (camera) is then placed through the incisions and the brow is lifted and the wrinkle-causing muscles are weakened. The incisions are then sutured closed. The procedure typically takes one to two hours to perform.

There is minimal discomfort with the browlift procedure, though pain medication can be prescribed if necessary. Bruising and swelling may occur and tend to fade within about a week. The stitches are typically removed within seven days. Patients are typically able to return to work within a week, though strenuous activities will need to be avoided for several weeks.

The potential complications that may occur with browlift surgery can include adverse anesthesia reaction, bleeding, hematoma, infection, nerve injury, and the need for additional surgery.
