Is a brow lift for you?
By removing excess skin and lifting drooping brows, your eyes will look larger, brighter, and more youthful. In the hands of Dr. Laverson, a skilled surgeon with an eye for aesthetic beauty, the procedure results in an overall rested and relaxed expression. Brow lifts can also reduce the appearance of fine lines and restore the natural arch in your eyebrows. A brow lift might be an excellent way to achieve a rejuvenated appearance if you have a low eyebrow position, deep creases across the forehead, frown lines or furrows, or excess skin hanging over your eyes. However, there are some other factors that Dr. Laverson will take into consideration while discussing a potential brow lift, including:
- Skin condition and quality
- Skin elasticity
- Overall health
- Individual healing rate
- Age
- Realistic expectations
If a brow lift is the best option for achieving your aesthetic goals, you can rest assured that Dr. Laverson will provide you with the most elegant and natural-looking results possible.
Before your brow/forehead lift procedure
During your initial consultation, Dr. Laverson will examine the structure of your face and your skin’s texture and elasticity to determine whether you’re a good candidate for a brow lift procedure. If you decide to proceed after reviewing all the potential risks and expected results, Dr. Laverson will discuss the various types of brow lifts to determine which is optimal for your personal aesthetic goals. It is important that every patient have a positive yet realistic attitude toward the surgery. If you are interested in having other cosmetic procedures done at the same time for more dramatic results, Dr. Laverson can tell you which additional procedures are the most complementary.
What to expect after brow lift surgery
Depending on which type of brow lift surgery you choose, some swelling and bruising around the area following the surgery is to be expected. Cold compresses can help keep swelling down, and though any pain and discomfort can be treated with over-the-counter pain medications, prescription pain medication is also available. The dressing or bandages applied directly after the surgery can be removed in one or two days, along with the drainage tube if one was used during surgery. Full recovery takes about two to three weeks, and because Dr. Laverson’s precise surgical techniques place incisions in inconspicuous places, scars are not noticeable in most cases.
