Forehead
Lift (Brow Lift) in New York
Manhattan, New York City
The
eyes are an important feature, and many men are concerned
that gradual changes around the eyes can have a negative
effect on their appearance. The sagging of the eyebrows
due to aging or heredity can make a person look sad or tired.
A forehead lift, or brow lift, can tighten
excess skin and reduce prominent horizontal forehead creases
and vertical frown lines for a more youthful, refreshed
appearance.
The Brow Lift Procedure
A forehead lift
(or brow lift) is performed under local anesthesia with
sedation or general anesthesia.
The incision classically
extends across the top of
the scalp. Manipulation of the skin and muscle can result
in a fresher, more youthful appearance and improvement in
forehead creases. In some cases an endoscopic approach may
be considered which entails
several small incisions and performing the surgery through
a lighted tube and a TV
monitor. A forehead lift is often performed in conjunction
with a facelift and/or blepharoplasty. The
brow may also be lifted using a direct approach whereby
an incision is made inside the eyebrow to camouflage the
scar. This operation may be performed under local anesthesia
and is simpler and less costly to perform. The postoperative
recovery is much faster with the patient usually able to
return to work the following day.
Recovery
Protective wrappings are worn home, and usually
for about the first couple days of forehead lift recovery.
Some minor discomfort will be felt temporarily, but can
be alleviated with oral pain medication. Sutures are usually
removed within about 10 days of brow lift surgery, and recovery
from bruising and swelling should occur within about 7-10
days.
