BROW LIFT IN AUSTIN

img-advanced-bg–breastLift

Introduction

Brow Lift

It’s hard to think of any facial expression that doesn’t involve the forehead. Whether you’re laughing, crying, or even sleeping, your forehead is constantly moving: wrinkling, stretching, expanding, and contracting. Unfortunately, all of this activity leaves its mark. Deep forehead wrinkling and horizontal and vertical frown lines are common results.

This problem can often be corrected through a forehead lift. One of the most significant benefits of a good forehead lift is that the surgeon can address the underlying tissue and muscles as well as the skin. This helps create a more natural, longer-lasting result. It also has another important benefit. By altering some of the underlying muscles, it can prevent many frown and worry lines from returning. Our team strives to provide some of the best brow lift results in Austin and maintains a high level of patient satisfaction and saftey.

FACIAL REJUVENATION

WHAT IS A BROW LIFT?

Sagging, drooping eyebrows cause heaviness around the eyes and even make them close a bit. They can also make someone look constantly sad, tired, and unhappy. When the brow is lifted, the tired, sad look may disappear completely and often the entire face brightens up.

Brow lifts can be performed in different ways. New technology like the endoscope has made this procedure less invasive than it was in the past. An endoscope is a thin tube with a camera on the end that sends live video footage to a viewing screen that the surgeon watches while performing surgery.

This viewing device enables the surgeon to see the internal structures he will be working on without the need to create large, invasive incisions. Rather than making one long incision, as in a traditional brow lift, an endoscopic brow lift allows the surgeon to make several short incisions instead (each less than an inch). These small incisions are made along the scalp and are easily concealed by the hair.

  • Every person deserves to be satisfied when they look in the mirror. This procedure is highly effective in lightly altering where your eyebrows sit on your face, offering satisfaction. A list of personal benefits of a Brow Lift include:

  • Corrects droopy or uneven eyebrows
  • Gives the face a more pleasant and relaxed look
  • Makes the eyes look brighter and more youthful

Who are the Best Candidates for a BROW Lift?

As one of the leading aesthetic practices in Austin, we’ve had the pleasure of seeing firsthand how well this treatment works on our patients. Skin relaxation may cause the eyebrows to drop, hooding our upper eyelids and making us look tired, angry, or too serious. If you are bothered by these signs of aging in the brow region, a Brow Lift may be right for you. The Brow Lift is a safe and effective procedure for any candidate who wishes to restore a smoother and more youthful brow appearance for an upgraded and rejuvenated upper face. You may be a candidate for Personqiue’s brow lift surgery if you:

  • Are physically healthy
  • Nonsmoker
  • Have a positive outlook and realistic goals

WHAT’S THE FIRST STEP?

Much like many of our procedures, the first step to getting a Brow Lift in Austin is realistic expectations about what the procedure can and can’t do for your appearance. The process does not require any needs in advance, though we recommend protection from the sun in the days leading up. After an initial appointment to discuss your procedure, we ask you to avoid certain medications, such as aspirin or anti-inflammatory drugs, which can increase bleeding. Many of our patients found the process smooth and timely when making plans for someone to drive them to and from Personique, ease of transportation is highly recommended. We are here to answer questions and provide you with our expert guidance if you have any questions or concerns before your appointment.

WHAT TO EXPECT ON THE DAY OF A BROW LIFT

Our Austin brow lift procedures are done on an outpatient basis, with local anesthesia and sedation.

Once the incisions have been made, the surgeon will insert the endoscope through one of the incisions, providing a clear picture of the muscles and tissue beneath the skin. Using a separate instrument that is inserted through a different incision, the surgeon will then lift the forehead skin and begin altering or removing the underlying tissue and muscle that is causing the problem. The eyebrows may also be lightly lifted and secured to a higher position using sutures beneath the skin’s surface.

After tightening the underlying tissue and altering the muscles as needed, the surgeon will then remove the necessary excess skin. The incisions are then carefully closed. Every effort is made to keep the scars as minimal as possible. Since the incisions are hidden along or above the hairline, they are usually very inconspicuous.

Our surgeons work very carefully to conservatively and strategically tighten and lift this region. The goal of a forehead lift procedure is always to make the patient look like a more rested and youthful version of themselves, not an entirely different person. An unnatural-appearing brow is a dead giveaway that someone has had facial plastic surgery. At Personique®, the results of your brow lift will be subtle and natural-looking.

The procedure itself can take anywhere from one to two hours.

BROW LIFT RECOVERY

After surgery, you will be able to return home, but you should consider taking it easy for the next few days. Any pain or discomfort you experience can usually be controlled with medication. The sutures come out within a week, and the bruising and swelling will subside within five to ten days. You can generally return to work in seven to ten days, but you should avoid more strenuous activity for several more weeks. You may experience some numbness, but this almost always subsides within a few weeks.

You should be able to enjoy your results for years, especially if there has been any type of muscle alteration. Most of our patients can expect to get five to ten years out of a single surgery, and if you wish to maintain your appearance, the procedure can be repeated as needed. Many patients don’t realize how much their sagging forehead was contributing to the signs of aging until they see how much younger and more refreshed they look after the lift.

Swelling and bruising are most common during the first ten days or so after surgery and are mostly resolved after about two weeks.

Can I combine a Brow Lift with other procedures?

Depending on your personal aesthetic goals, you may want to add additional procedures to your brow lift surgery for a thorough refresh, such as Eyelid Surgery, Facelifts, or Neck Lifts. When combined, these procedures can dramatically rejuvenate the upper face, giving the patient a more youthful, refreshed, and vibrant appearance.
