Introduction
Each procedure can be done alone or in combination with a midface lift or facelift for total face rejuvenation.
Why Brow Lift?
- EYou can smooth furrows or frown lines caused by stress or muscle activity.
- EYou can achieve a more alert and refreshed look if you have inherited conditions, such as a low, heavy brow or furrowed lines above the nose.
- EIf you are male and bald or have a receding hairline, you may still be a good candidate for a forehead lift using modified techniques.
Benefits of Brow Lift & Forehead Lift Surgery
The benefits of the surgeries include:
- Reduced wrinkles: The procedure softens horizontal lines on the forehead and vertical frown lines between the brows, giving a smoother look.
- Rejuvenated eyes: Lifting the brow makes the eyes appear larger and more awake, enhancing natural beauty.
- Balanced facial expressions: The surgery eliminates the “angry” or “tired” appearance that sagging brows often cause.
- Lasting results: Unlike temporary solutions like Botox, a brow lift or forehead lift offers long-lasting results.
These benefits make the brow lift in Houston, TX a popular choice for individuals seeking a refreshed and youthful appearance.
Who is an Ideal Candidate for a Brow Lift?
You may be a good candidate for a brow lift or forehead lift in Houston if:
- EYou have noticeable sagging in the brow area that gives a tired or angry look.
- EDeep forehead wrinkles or furrows are diminishing your confidence.
- EYour skin and overall health are suitable for surgical procedures.
- EYou desire long-term solutions for facial rejuvenation, especially if non-surgical treatments no longer provide the desired results.
Dr. Steely conducts an in-depth consultation to determine the best approach for your needs, ensuring your results appear natural and balanced.
Your Initial Brow Lift Consultation
During your consultation, Dr. Steely will discuss your goals and evaluate your face, skin, and underlying bone structure. He will review your complete medical history, including any previous facial surgeries. He will need to know if you have any allergies, if you’re taking any vitamins, medications, or other drugs, and if you smoke.
For each facial plastic surgery procedure, Dr. Steely will describe in detail the surgical technique he will use, the type of anesthesia, the surgery facility, and the risks and costs involved. Ask Dr. Steely any questions about your expectations and concerns about the surgery.
Preparing for your Brow Lift Surgery
Dr. Steely and his staff will give you specific instructions on preparing for surgery, including guidelines on eating and drinking, smoking, and taking or avoiding certain vitamins and medications. Carefully following these instructions will help your surgery go more smoothly.
While you’re making preparations, arrange for someone to drive you home after your surgery and help you out for a few days if needed.
Brow Lift Surgery Options
The Endoscopic Forehead Lift:
An endoscopic forehead lift typically requires the same preparation steps as the traditional procedure. However, rather than making one long coronal incision, Dr. Steely will make three, four or five short scalp incisions, each less than an inch long. He inserts an endoscope (a pencil-like camera device connected to a television monitor) through one of the incisions, giving him a clear view of the muscles and tissues beneath the skin.
Using another instrument inserted through a different incision, he lifts the forehead skin and alters the muscles and underlying tissues to produce a smoother appearance. He may lift the eyebrows and secure them into higher positions by sutures beneath the skin’s surface or by temporary fixation devices behind the hairline.
Mini Temporal Brow Lift:
In some patients, especially men with receding hairlines, an alternative treatment used to decrease any noticeable incisions is a temporal brow lift only. This helps elevate the saggy lateral brow, giving a more refreshed look with minimal downtime and hidden incisions.
Expected Results After Your Brow Lift
Patients who undergo a brow lift or forehead lift in Houston can expect a significant improvement in their overall facial aesthetics. However, some post-surgery symptoms may occur:
- ESome numbness, incision discomfort, and mild swelling.
- EMinimal incision site pain.
