Brow Lift in Plano

A Brow Lift Can Restore a More Youthful Look

The upper face is particularly vulnerable to the consequences of time, gravity, sun damage, and the cumulative effect of repeated facial expressions. As the years go on, the brow may begin to droop, while wrinkles commonly increase around the eyes and across the forehead. A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, can restore a youthful, revitalized look to this part of the face. At Brobst Facial Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics in Plano Brow Lift Surgery can be an exceptional way to revitalize a very visible part of the face with noticeably positive results.

Rejuvenate

Your Look

What is a Brow Lift?

A brow lift is a surgical procedure that rejuvenates the look of the forehead and eyebrows. This can diminish the look of fine lines and wrinkles, lift the eyebrows, and renew the face's overall appearance. Although infrequently identified as a problem, the effects of aging take their toll on the brow and forehead. The descent of these tissues can lead to deep forehead creases and crowding of the eyes, giving a tired and sometimes angry appearance. This can make applying makeup to the upper eyelids a challenge. Although neurotoxins (Botox cosmetic and Dysport) can improve dynamic forehead creases and minimally lift portions of the brow, limitations exist. In these select patients, true forehead and brow rejuvenation can be achieved using modern endoscopic techniques without the telltale “surprised look” of overcorrection.

Refresh And Renew

What can a Brow Lift do?

As they look into a Brow Lift Plano patients may find benefits including:

Smoothing out wrinkles and creases on the forehead
Raising the eyebrows to a more youthful position
Correction of brow heaviness and overcrowding in the upper eyelids
Improving the overall balance, forehead size, and symmetry of the face
Improving self-esteem and self-confidence in both social and work environments
Providing a renewed sense of correlation between inner well-being and appearance

A brow lift can help to make a person look and feel more youthful and refreshed and can provide a wide range of benefits, both aesthetic and psychological. It is essential to discuss the potential risks and benefits of the procedure with your surgeon to make an informed decision about whether a brow lift is right for you. A good candidate for a brow lift is typically someone who is in good overall health and has realistic expectations about the potential outcomes of the procedure. They should also be willing to follow their surgeon's instructions for care and recovery and be in good emotional health. A consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon can help determine if a brow lift is the right choice for an individual.

Brow Lift

Candidates

Restoring Youthful Beauty

Ideal candidates for a brow lift are healthy individuals who are concerned about drooping brows, forehead lines, or hooded upper eyelids. This procedure is most effective for those in their late 30s to 60s, but younger patients may also benefit. Brow lifts are not recommended for those with certain health conditions, such as uncontrolled diabetes, or if there are skin allergies or sensitivities that could hinder healing.

Good candidates include those who:

Have drooping brows or deep forehead lines
Are in good health
Want to address signs of aging
Do not have health conditions that impact healing

In your consultation for a Brow Lift Plano surgeon Dr. Brobst will carefully evaluate your health to ensure a safe, personalized approach.

Confidence in the process

Your Brow Lift Consultation

During your consultation for a Brow Lift, Dr. Brobst will review your medical history, listen to your concerns, and educate you on your options and the expectations for their results. It’s important to Dr. Brobst that you are knowledgeable and comfortable with any cosmetic decision. This is why he is patient and ensures you are confident that the procedure is right for you, yielding the best results.

Brow Lift Preparation

The Forethought to Improve Your Forehead

Before your brow lift, we’ll thoroughly review your anesthesia options, which can include local anesthesia, sedation, or general anesthesia, depending on the approach and your comfort level. In the days leading up to the procedure, it’s essential to avoid smoking, alcohol, and certain medications to promote optimal healing and reduce the risk of complications. Dr. Brobst will provide you with a personalized plan outlining specific steps to prepare for surgery, from managing medications to arranging post-surgery care, ensuring that you feel confident and ready for a smooth, successful experience.

Brow Lift Procedure

Precision in Action

At our practice in Plano Brow Lifts can be performed under local, sedation, or general anesthetic. Slight incisions are made in the hairline, and the forehead's skin, muscles, and tissues are repositioned. Several techniques are effective in improving brow position. In severe brow malposition, a direct method is occasionally utilized to open the eyes’ aperture and remove the hooding.

Alternatively, an endoscopic approach is utilized to correct a heavy brow using the most current techniques to create a natural position and shape. Through this approach, a few short vertical incisions are placed in the hairline, and visible scarring is avoided. Using an endoscope (camera) and fine long instruments, the brow attachments are released, and the muscles are treated to achieve the desired effect. In patients with a high hairline, a modification is made to improve the position of the frontal hairline. Once the Brow Lift procedure is completed, the incisions are closed, and a dressing is applied. After recovering from the effects of anesthesia and ensuring your comfort, you’ll be able to go home in the care of a responsible adult.

Enhance

Your Results

Combining a Brow Lift with Other Procedures

For more comprehensive facial rejuvenation, a brow lift can be combined with procedures like a facelift, blepharoplasty, or Botox. A brow lift addresses sagging brows and forehead lines, while treatments like a facelift tighten and contour the lower face, and blepharoplasty rejuvenates the eyes. Combining procedures allows for more balanced, dramatic results, ensuring that multiple areas of the face are refreshed simultaneously. This tailored approach helps achieve a harmonious, youthful appearance, maximizing the impact of your cosmetic journey.

Brow Lift Recovery, Results, and Aftercare

The morning after the Brow Lift procedure, the dressing is removed, and wound care is reviewed. Swelling is normal and responds well to a cool compress, head elevation, and light activity. A short period of tightness, headache, and nausea are common complaints but are actively treated when necessary with medications. Temporary alterations in sensation can occur but improve without intervention. After one week, all skin closures have been removed, and most bruising and swelling is gone from the upper face. With the exception of intense exercise and heavy lifting, normal activities can be restarted after two weeks. Hair coloring should be performed just before the operation or delayed for six weeks. Patients flying in for their operation should make arrangements to stay in town for a week. Swelling and the final brow position continue to improve during the first three to four weeks.

Maintaining your brow lift results

After having a brow lift Plano patients should know it is important to follow Dr. Brobst’s instructions for care and recovery to ensure the best possible results. This may include:

Getting plenty of rest and increasing activities as directed
Keeping your head elevated while sleeping to reduce swelling
Applying cold compresses to the forehead to reduce swelling and discomfort
Taking any prescribed medications as directed
Avoiding direct sunlight and wearing a wide-brimmed hat to protect the incisions from the sun
Avoiding touching or rubbing the incisions, as this can cause them to become irritated or infected
Avoiding alcohol and tobacco use, as these can interfere with healing

It is also important to attend follow-up appointments with Dr. Brobst to ensure that your incisions are healing properly and that you are satisfied with your results. If you have any concerns or questions, please reach out and ask us.

How much does a Brow Lift cost?

The cost of a brow lift can vary depending on several factors, including the procedure's complexity, the surgeon's experience, the practice's location, anesthesia fees, facility costs, and additional procedures. Lipoma removal and osteoma removal can frequently be combined with this procedure. Similarly, forehead reduction is often incorporated to enhance the overall upper facial appearance. It is important to keep in mind that because a brow lift is considered a cosmetic procedure, it is typically not covered by health insurance. It is always a good idea to discuss the cost of the procedure with your surgeon before making a decision.

Brow Lift Frequently Asked Questions

Will a Brow Lift hurt?

While some discomfort is to be expected, the degree of discomfort can vary depending on the individual and the specifics of the procedure. Most people report mild discomfort during the first few days after the surgery, but this can usually be managed with pain medication. Those who are prone to headaches usually have more discomfort. Using long-lasting local anesthesia during the procedure can help minimize discomfort, and the majority of people recover comfortably after a brow lift.

Is Brow Lift common?

Yes, brow lifts are a common procedure for individuals looking to address sagging brows, forehead wrinkles, or heavy eyelids. They are especially popular with patients seeking a refreshed and more youthful appearance. The procedure is often combined with other treatments for more comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

Is Brow Lift safe? What are the risks?

Brow lifts are generally safe when performed by a qualified surgeon like Dr. Brobst. However, as with any surgery, there are risks such as infection, scarring, or temporary numbness. These risks are minimized with careful pre-surgical planning and post-operative care, which Dr. Brobst and his team will thoroughly review with you.

Is Brow Lift permanent? Will I need follow-up sessions?

The results of a brow lift are long-lasting, but no procedure can stop the natural aging process. While the lift can dramatically improve your appearance, some patients may opt for touch-ups or complementary treatments down the road to maintain their refreshed look.

Will I need to have someone drive me home following Brow Lift?

Yes, if sedation or general anesthesia is used, you will need a responsible adult to drive you home after the procedure. It’s important to arrange for someone to assist you, as you’ll need time to recover from the effects of anesthesia before resuming daily activities.
