Good Candidates for Brow Lift

Good candidates for brow lifts include men and women who are in generally good health, have realistic expectations, are nonsmokers, and are bothered by lines and wrinkles and sagging skin along their forehead and brows. It’s also perfect for those who are tired of looking tired or angry.

More about Brow Lift

At Atalla Plastic Surgery, we offer open brow lift.  An open brow lift, or a classic brow lift, involves one incision from one ear to the other across the top of the head. Through this incision, the forehead and brow will be lifted and excess skin removed.

Preparing For Brow Lift

After your consultation with Dr. Atalla or Dr. Durnen, we’ll schedule your surgery and give you a detailed list of what to do before your procedure. You’ll want to quit smoking if you’re a smoker, avoid alcohol and blood thinners, and stick to a healthy diet for at least a month before your brow lift. You’ll also want to arrange for a friend or family member to drive you to and from surgery and watch over you for the first 24 hours.

Brow Lift Procedure

To start your brow lift procedure, we’ll first administer general anesthesia. This ensures you’re asleep during surgery and won’t feel any discomfort. From there, your surgeon will make the necessary incisions, lift the tissues and muscles, and remove excess skin. What occurs during your procedure will depend on the type of brow lift you’re having done. Once all the changes are made and the incisions are closed, you’ll start the recovery process.

Brow Lift Recovery

After your brow lift surgery, you’ll likely experience swelling, bruising, and some discomfort. Dr. Atalla or Dr. Durnen will prescribe pain medication and give you instructions on how to take care of your incisions. You can also use cold compresses to help ease swelling.

You’ll want to get plenty of rest, sleep in an elevated position, and avoid alcohol, smoking, and strenuous activities for several weeks.

Results of Brow Lift

While initial results may be visible immediately, the swelling and bruising will hide most of the improvements. As you heal and the swelling goes down, your results will become much more noticeable, with final results typically taking a few months to fully appear.

Risks of Brow Lift

A brow lift comes with the chance of risks and complications like any other surgical procedure. Some of the risks to look out for include:

• Bleeding
• Infection
• Scarring
• Itchiness
• Limited movement of the eyebrows

Cost of Brow Lift

The cost of a brow lift can differ depending on the type of brow lift being done, the extent of the surgery, and the results you’re looking for.

What to Expect from a Brow Lift Consultation

During your brow lift consultation with Dr. Atalla or Dr. Durnen, they’ll review your medical history, ask a few questions about your goals, and perform an exam. This is the perfect time to bring up any questions or concerns you have about the surgery and/or the recovery process. We want you to have as much information as possible so you can make the right decision for you.
