Browlift Surgery & Forehead Lift
About Browlift Surgery/About Forehead Lift
Is browlift surgery right for you?
Browlift surgery or forehead lift surgery is the operation that repositions the eyebrows in a more attractive and youthful place so that more attention is drawn to the eyes.
The operation moves the eyebrows and lifts them into a position that is interpreted by others as more youthful. That is, the eyebrows are given an arch that is subtle and elegant.
One of the goals of forehead lift surgery is not to give your face a surprised or unnatural appearance.
This operation as all others is about allowing the upper part of the face fall into youthful harmony with the other parts of the face.
Our Jacksonville plastic surgeons, Drs. Phillip and Roberto Garcia are specialists in browlift surgery and will offer all of the possible options regarding your plastic surgery in Jacksonville.
The Browlift Operation
Browlift surgery is usually performed in combination with other procedures such as facelift, neck lift, or eyelid surgery.
There are several options regarding the location of the incisions during the forehead lift. Our board certified Jacksonville plastic surgeons offer the endoscopic browlift to their patients that have mild to moderate descent of their brow position and a normal hairline position. The endoscopic browlift is performed by making four small (1 inch) incisions behind the hairline.
Another popular and very effective browlift technique offered to our patients allows the hairline to be advanced forward and raises the eyebrows at the same time. This more traditional forehead lift technique is performed in such a way as to actually allow the hair to grow through the incision so that ultimately it is barely perceptible.
The browlift operation is performed under local twilight anesthesia.
Browlift Surgery Recovery
You will be able to see immediately after browlift surgery. You will have minimal swelling and bruising that will have subsided by five days. On the seventh day after surgery, your sutures are removed and two days later, you are allowed to apply makeup directly on any incision lines to cover bruising.
Normal physical activity can resume at two weeks.
