Brow Lift Surgery
Are your brows sagging or uneven? Do you want to feel more self-confident when you look in the mirror?
Consider a cosmetic procedure like a brow lift. With age, it’s normal for the skin on your forehead to begin losing its elasticity. Unfortunately, when this occurs, you may notice your brows sagging or drooping, making you look tired or angry.
Dr. Maria D. Garcia at Florida Vision Institute performs brow lift surgery and other procedures to help you look and feel your best, appearing refreshed and revitalized.
What is Brow Lift Surgery?
Brow lift surgery, also called a forehead lift, is a cosmetic procedure that reduces the signs of aging in your forehead and brows. This procedure raises eyebrows, smooths fine lines and wrinkles, and showcases a more energized and renewed appearance.
Repositioning the brows and removing any necessary excess tissue and skin during a brow lift helps widen the appearance of the eyes, allowing you to look more alert and vibrant. Many patients love the idea of a brow lift if they have deep furrows between their brows, deep horizontal lines across their forehead, or sagging eyebrows that come across their upper eyelids, impacting their ability to see clearly.
What to Expect During Your Brow Lift Consultation at Florida Vision Institute
During your brow lift consultation at Florida Vision Institute, Dr. Garcia will begin by examining your eyes. She’ll also look at your face’s anatomy, skin texture, and tone to determine if you’re a good candidate for a brow lift.
She will review your medical history with you and then explain each step of the procedure so you know what to expect and have realistic expectations about what a brow lift can achieve if you undergo it. This will include going over any potential risks and what the procedure’s outcomes should look like.
Your brow lift consultation is a perfect opportunity to ask Dr. Garcia any questions you may have about the procedure. It’s also a great time to talk about what you want your results to look like when your brow lift is complete. Dr. Garcia will determine a customized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs and aesthetic goals based on your consultation.
The Brow Lift Procedure
Brow lift procedures performed at Florida Vision Institute by Dr. Garcia are done with local or general anesthesia, depending on the needs of the procedure. A brow lift involves making small incisions directly above the eyebrow, along the hairline, or across the scalp.
The kind of incision used will depend on the necessary correction and your unique facial structure. After making these incisions, Dr. Garcia will lift your eyebrow and forehead skin.
She will also remove excess tissue, reposition muscles, and move the eyebrows to a more desirable position. Then, the remaining skin is pulled back and secured with sutures.
Recovering After a Brow Lift
Once you’ve had a brow lift, it’s typical to see bruising and swelling and experience discomfort in the areas where you received treatment. These side effects should dissipate gradually as you continue recovering.
Dr. Garcia will give you detailed instructions on what to expect during your recovery after the brow lift procedure. These may include information about how to manage pain, restrict your activity, and surgical care for the treated area.
You should be able to return to your routine and activities about a week or two after the procedure. However, avoid any strenuous activities for several weeks.
You should begin seeing the transformative effects of your brow lift as visible signs of swelling and bruising diminish, leaving you looking more alert, invigorated, and radiant. The results of your brow lift will become apparent after several months. With proper care and maintenance, you can look forward to long-lasting results.
