What To Know About Brow Lift Procedures
A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is a cosmetic surgery procedure offered to raise drooping eyebrows, which can obstruct a person’s vision. In addition, this procedure can also help reduce wrinkles and erase the lines which run across the forehead.
Different surgical options have been developed over the years as surgeons have perfected this procedure. In fact, more than one of these different approaches can be used during the same procedure to properly elevate the skin on a person’s forehead.
What you should know about brow lift procedures
A brow lift is a safe procedure, which is commonly performed in both middle aged men and women. As a person ages, they lose the elasticity in their skin. Over time this can cause the skin on the forehead to begin to droop, which in turn can lower the eyebrows. This can not only cause a person to appear angry, or in deep concentration, but it can also obstruct their vision. In order to correct this problem, many people have elected to have some form of plastic surgery.
The brow lift process begins with a consultation with a cosmetic surgeon who will first perform an examination of the patient. He or she will show the patient what he plans to do, as well as explain how the procedure can improve their quality of life. After the consultation, an appointment is made for the procedure.
The actual brow lift procedure – expectations
The actual procedure itself is relatively quick, as it is very a common surgery. It will usually take about two hours to complete, and the patient can return home the same day. After a week or so of recovery, a person can resume most normal activities. Most people who have elected to perform a brow lift in order to correct vision problems caused by sagging skin, will notice a dramatic improvement in their line of sight.
