What Is A Brow Lift?
A surgical brow lift (sometimes known as a forehead lift or browplasty) is a popular cosmetic treatment at Refine Plastic Surgery in Midland-Odessa, TX that helps create a lifted brow position, which provides a refreshed look to the top portion of the face. A sagging brow can sometimes create an angry or tired appearance. A browplasty surgically improves a drooping brow to give you a refreshed face by removing excess skin from the forehead while lifting the eyebrows. Our plastic surgery team has performed brow lifts on both men and women to give them a more youthful appearance. Injectable wrinkle relaxers and fillers are commonly performed in combination with brow lift surgery at Refine Plastic Surgery for optimal results, producing a softer and smoother look. Schedule a consultation at our practice to find out more about this procedure. Surgical consultations are held at our Odessa, TX location. All surgeries are performed at Choice Care Surgery Center in Midland, TX, an advanced, fully accredited, and state-of-the-art outpatient ambulatory surgical center.
How Is A Brow Lift Performed?
Before surgery, anesthesia will be administered. This can be done through IV sedation or general anesthesia based on the extent of the surgery. The incision performed during a brow lift is determined based on the degree of skin sag, if the forehead is affected, and the appearance of the patient's hairline. Some of the many techniques that may be used include:
- Traditional incision: Also called the open browplasty incision, this places the surgical incision behind the hairline at the top of the head. The traditional incision not only conceals scars, but it provides a certain degree of lift control during the procedure. The open incision is good for those with both a sagging brow and frown lines. This is the preferred method if you are at risk of having a receding hairline.
- Trichophytic incision: This incision is made directly against the hairline. A trichophytic incision allows a more dramatic lift in the brow for women and men who have a low risk for hairline recession.
- Lateral brow lift: Also called a temporal browplasty, this method sets the incision within the hairline just over the temples. The lateral incision permits the outer sections of the brow to be treated and works well for sagging that is present in the outer brows. The lateral technique also helps to smooth Crow's feet.
- Endoscopic forehead lift: This is a more modern method employed in browplasty surgery. It makes multiple small incisions beyond the hairline and inserts the endoscope, which moves to the area of the eyebrow to release its attached tools. Using the endoscope's camera, the brow tissue is repositioned with stitches to place the brow in a higher position.
