Brow Lift?

What is a Brow Lift?

A brow lift or forehead lift is a cosmetic surgery that enhances facial appearance by correcting drooping brows and horizontal creases. This procedure can significantly improve the eyebrow shape, contributing to a fresher and more alert look.

In Irvine, facial plastic surgeon Dr. Hojjat performs brow lift surgery using either the traditional coronal technique for major brow elevation or the endoscopic method, a minimally invasive option that targets specific areas with less recovery time.

Brow Lift results can last for approximately ten years.

Preparation

Preparing for the Brow Lift Procedure

Dr. Hojjat’s office will give you instructions on how to prepare for your surgery. Please follow all instructions in the letter to ensure the best results.

The length of the surgery depends on the nature of your procedure and the techniques that will be used. Browlift by itself will generally take an hour. Some people choose to have other facial procedures done in conjunction with their brow lift, which adds time to the surgery. The staff will be able to give you an approximate time your surgery will be finished.

Preparation Instructions

Accompaniment: You must arrange for someone to accompany you, as you’ll be too groggy to drive post-procedure. They can wait in the designated waiting area during the surgery.
Clothing: Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing to facilitate easy dressing after the surgery.
Fasting: You may be required to fast for several hours before the surgery, typically starting from midnight the night before.
Medication: Avoid certain medications that can increase bleeding risk, as advised by Dr. Hojjat’s team during your pre-operative consultation.
Skin Care: Refrain from applying makeup, lotions, or perfumes on the day of the surgery to prevent any potential complications.

The procedure

The Forehead Reduction Procedure

Brow lift surgery in Irvine is an outpatient procedure. You will be released from surgery the day your procedure is completed. A general anesthetic is typically used for the surgery (though local anesthesia and sedation can also be used), so you won’t feel anything and will be unconscious during the procedure.

Types of Forehead Surgery

Dr. Hojjat employs various types of brow lifts, tailoring each procedure to the individual’s unique facial structure and aesthetic goals. Depending on the specific technique—coronal or endoscopic method—he will likely make a series of tiny incisions along the hairline. During the procedure, Dr. Hojjat skillfully manipulates the forehead muscles and skin to achieve a smoother, more youthful appearance.

Excess skin and fat are removed from your forehead to elevate the brows, and the area is sutured at or in the hairline, rendering the incisions virtually unnoticeable. After this procedure is complete, you will be taken to the recovery area and later released to go home.

Traditional Brow Lift Technique

The coronal brow lift is a proven method for addressing forehead tissue and deep wrinkles that contribute to an aged appearance. In this technique, an incision is typically made from ear to ear across the top of the head, hidden within the hair. Through this incision, Dr. Hojjat can lift and reposition the forehead skin, reducing the appearance of deep wrinkles and sagging brows. This method provides significant rejuvenation for patients with extensive aging signs.

Endoscopic Brow Lift Technique

The endoscopic procedure represents a minimally invasive technique, ideal for correcting horizontal lines and mild to moderate forehead sagging. This method involves making small incisions within the hairline and using a tiny camera, or endoscope, to view and manipulate the forehead tissues. This technique allows for precise adjustments with minimal scarring, offering an effective solution for those looking to enhance their forehead area without extensive surgery.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions about Brow Lifts

Are brow lifts painful?

There will be some discomfort following the surgical procedure. As long as you follow post-surgical instructions, your brow lift discomfort can be kept to a minimum. You will be prescribed medication to help you through the first few days after surgery. You may feel like your skin is tighter around the area of the surgery due to swelling. But usually, brow lift patients don’t feel a large amount of pain. Soon you will no longer feel discomfort and will have a new and revitalized look for your efforts.

What are the potential risks of forehead surgery?

Forehead surgery risks include scarring, nerve damage affecting facial expressions, infection, bleeding, uneven eyebrow positioning, and anesthesia complications. These risks vary by individual health and adherence to surgical care. Discuss with a surgeon to understand personal implications.

How much time off will I need to take?

You will be able to work or return to school in between 7-10 days. Bruising and swelling should be minimal within 7-10 days. At that time your face will look mostly back to normal, but much more youthful.

Can I combine brow lift with other surgeries?

Yes, a brow lift can be combined with other surgeries to address various aesthetic concerns in a comprehensive facial rejuvenation plan. For instance, upper eyelid surgery can be performed alongside a brow lift to enhance the eyes’ appearance, and a facelift can be added to address sagging skin and facial lines more extensively. This combination allows for more significant overall aesthetic improvements.

Will I need a general anesthetic for this procedure?

That depends on the specific circumstances of your procedure. Dr. Hojjat will discuss your options with you during the consultation.

What does a brow lift cost?

When you have your consultation, you can get an accurate figure for the cost of the procedure. Financing may be available to make the procedure more accessible.

Will there be scars?

Yes, but the one-inch scars will be hidden in your hairline. Once your surgical area is healed, you will probably not be able to see the scars at all.

How can I maintain my results?

Brow lift results are long-lasting, but they don’t last forever. To maintain your results, you should:
• Live a healthy lifestyle.
• Use sunscreen faithfully since sun exposure promotes wrinkles.
• Avoid smoking. Forehead furrows are worsened by smoking.
