Brow Lift (Browpexy)
Procedure
Here is a general overview of the brow lift (browpexy) procedure:
Anesthesia: The patient is given either general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation to ensure they are comfortable throughout the procedure.
Incisions: The surgeon makes small incisions either at the hairline or within the eyebrows.
Lifting: The surgeon then lifts the skin and underlying tissues of the forehead, repositioning the eyebrows to a higher, more youthful position.
Fixation: The surgeon may then use sutures or small screws to hold the lifted tissue in place.
Closing the incisions: Once the lifting is complete, the incisions are closed with sutures or staples.
Bandages: The surgeon may then place a bandage over the forehead to minimize swelling and bruising.
Recovery: The patient will be monitored for a short period after the surgery and given instructions for postoperative care, including pain management and wound care.
It’s important to note that the specific technique used in a brow lift can vary depending on the patient’s anatomy and desired results. It’s best to discuss the procedure in detail with a qualified plastic surgeon to determine the best approach for your individual needs.
