A brow lift Orange County reverses the appearance of fine lines and sagging, loose skin, and restores a more youthful and rested facial appearance.
During a brow lift Irvine plastic surgeon Dr. Smith will make a series of tiny incisions hidden within the hairline. Through these incisions, he will elevate the brows and smooth forehead lines and wrinkles.
He can even make adjustments to the tiny muscles of the forehead that cause the wrinkles, creating a permanent BOTOX® Cosmetic effect. The approximately 1 hour procedure is usually done under general anesthesia as an outpatient procedure.
You will experience some swelling, bruising and discomfort after your brow lift, but ice and prescription pain medication will help with this.
You will return within 2 to 3 days for a postoperative visit, at which time your dressings will be removed and you will be allowed to wash your hair. The sutures are dissolvable, so they will not need to be removed.
Most of our Irvine brow lift patients take about a week off from work, and activities should be limited for the first several weeks after your surgery. Significant results should be evident at 3 to 4 weeks, but it may take several months for all swelling to resolve and for final results to be achieved.
