Recovery after Browlift Surgery

Where will I stay after surgery?

Once your browlift surgery is completed, you will be taken to one of our recovery cottages, where you will have a certified caregiver stay with you all night. The caregiver will among other things help feed you and help you get around. One of your family members is welcome to stay at the recovery cottage.

Where are the incisions for a browlift going to be?

The incisions for an endoscopic browlift are made within the hairline (4 in total) and measure about one inch each. Other incisions can be made at the edge of the hairline or within the hairline. Jacksonville plastic surgeons, Phillip and Roberto Garcia will ensure that your browlift surgery incisions are appropriate for your needs and concerns and allow for the best browlift results possible.

Is there pain after browlift surgery?

No. Browlift surgery is not painful. At worst, you may feel a very small amount of tightness and swelling for a few days after the procedure but this will subside as your swelling goes down.

Will I look "surprised" after my browlift surgery?

The goal of browlift surgery is to restore a youthful and elegant arch to your eyebrows while raising their position in a natural way. Remember, the goal as with all of our operations is to make you look younger and well rested, not unnatural. Jacksonville cosmetic surgery doctors, Roberto and Phillip Garcia are specialists in browlift surgery.

About Browlift Surgery

What is Browlift Surgery?

Browlift surgery is the operation that repositions the eyebrows in a more youthful contour. It also removes the "hood" on the side of the eye that makes the eye look tired.

What type of anesthesia is used during browlift surgery?

We almost always use local/twilight anesthesia for browlift surgery. You will remember and feel nothing during your operation. Browlift specialists providing plastic surgery in Jacksonville, Drs. Phillip and Roberto Garcia will ensure your comfort during the procedure.

Will insurance cover my browlift surgery?

Cosmetic operations are not covered by insurance. If your brow has fallen due to a medical condition such as facial paralysis, insurance may help with the cost of the operation.

Am I a candidate for the "scar less" or endoscopic browlift surgery?

Most people who have a hairline that is not too high and do not have eyebrows that are very low are good candidates for the endoscopic browlift operation.
