Brow Lift

Changes to your facial appearance over time are inevitable. The skin and soft tissues in your forehead often lose the ability to rapidly return to their normal position after being stretched, making your eyebrows move down as you age. These changes can reduce the distance between your eyebrows and your eyes. Sagging eyebrows can make you look tired, angry, or sad. While Botox and dermal filler injections are an excellent way to address some of these conditions, they will only produce partial improvement, and the effects will last for a limited time. A brow lift in San Antonio can help reverse these changes.

A brow lift, or a forehead lift or rejuvenation, raises your eyebrows and produces a refreshed appearance to help increase your self-confidence. A brow lift improves the appearance of your forehead, brow, and the area around your eyes. The procedure involves raising the skin of your forehead and brow. To learn more about brow lifts in San Antonio, call our office to set up a consultation. One of our experienced facial plastic surgeons can review your options during a comprehensive consultation Helping you make an informed decision to reach your goals.

Procedure

Eyebrow and forehead lifts are common forms of facial plastic surgery. A surgeon makes surgical adjustments to the skin of the forehead to create an elevated and more youthful appearance. Many brow lift techniques can achieve outstanding results, including endoscopic brow lift, temporal brow lift, direct brow lift, coronal brow lift, and hairline brow lift. Some techniques can even bring about favorable changes in the shape of the eyes and the position of the outer cheeks if desired. Our surgeons adjust the location of the required incisions to align with your hairline, reducing the appearance of scars. Incision lines will fade with time; you can conceal them with makeup. Our surgeons often perform a brow lift simultaneously with other procedures in San Antonio, such as eyelid surgery or a facelift.

You can expect your brow lift surgery to last about 1 to 2 hours. Our team might loosely wrap your forehead after your procedure to minimize swelling. A surgeon may also place a small tube near the incision to drain excess blood or fluid. You might experience itching and numbness as your incisions heal. This will likely lessen over time. You can remove any bandages a few days after surgery. Your surgeon will typically remove your sutures within 7 to 10 days of surgery. Your doctor will let you know when you can expect to resume daily activities, such as washing and drying your hair and bathing.

Keep in mind that your swelling might last several weeks. You can expect the results of your brow lift to last for years, but they will not last forever. Your facial skin may continue to droop with continued aging. Excessive sun exposure can also accelerate the aging of your skin.
