Humans are prone to be self-conscious at times. Especially with declining age, it’s natural to feel your ‘vibe’ fading away. You can feel it even deeper if your face starts showing the signs.

If you’ve recently looked yourself over in front of the mirror and noticed a few wrinkles here and there, it’s not illogical to think of doing something about it.
And if you’re thinking of going for a brow lift, it’s better to gain as much knowledge as you can before booking an appointment.

Well, this blog covers all the basic information to prepare you for everything you need to know before a brow lift surgery.

What is a Brow Lift?

A brow lift is a surgical procedure that reduces the wrinkles on the forehead or between the eyebrows.

Since it’s common for the eyebrows to droop and cause hooding around the eyes, it can make you appear older than your age. What’s more, the skin around the eyebrows and forehead also starts to loosen, making you look even angry or tired.

If you’re experiencing such signs, you’re an ideal candidate for a brow lift.

What’s Included in the Procedure?

It’s natural to worry about what the process involves and what it follows.

Imagine sitting at a surgeon’s clinic, ready for the surgery, without knowing what’s going to happen next.

Well, we can put you at ease.

A brow lift procedure starts with a plastic surgeon reviewing the different methods with you.
The process involves using small incisions placed in such a way to hide in the hair. As a result, the forehead tissue and brow are elevated and released from the underlying connective tissue and the underlying muscle.

All these things aid in relaxing the lines formed between the eyes. In turn, this transforms your angry or drooping look into a gentle one.

Once all this is done, the brows are re-suspended in an ideal location, with the incisions closed.

The whole process takes around a couple of hours and is performed under general anesthesia.

In some patients wary of general anesthesia, the plastic surgeon may also opt for conscious sedation.

Are There Any Side Effects?

No two people are the same. And no people react to one procedure in the same manner.

Like any surgery, a brow lift isn’t devoid of potential side effects. But it varies from one person to another.

Although the side effects are rare to minimal, these may include minor headaches. Simple over-the-counter pain medications are most beneficial to treat these headaches.

What Is the Recovery Time?

Although the surgery takes two hours to complete, the recovery time is a little longer.

After undergoing brow lift surgery, you can resume work after a week.

There is also minimal bruising and swelling, but it usually goes away within 10 days.

 

How Long Will the Results Last?

Here’s a fact set in stone: no cosmetic procedure can halt the aging process.
Instead, brow lifts and other procedures can only reverse the aging effects.
But if a competent and experienced surgeon performs your brow lift, the results are sure to last for years to come.

And if you want to extend and retain the results for a long time, here are a few things you can start practicing after you’ve had a brow lift surgery:

• Wear sunscreen
• Quit smoking
• Eat a vitamin-rich diet

All in all, everything you need to live a healthy life.
