Endoscopic Brow Lift in Bakersfield | Roger Kohn, MD

Understanding Brow Aging and Appearance

The eyes are a focal point of facial appearance, and brow changes significantly impact overall aesthetic presentation. As individuals age, several factors contribute to brow transformation:

• Skin elasticity reduction
• Muscle weakening
• Hereditary predispositions
• Cumulative sun exposure effects

Impact of Drooping Brows

Brow ptosis (sagging) can create multiple aesthetic and functional challenges. Drooping brows frequently lead to excessive upper eyelid skin, creating a tired or angry appearance. In severe cases, peripheral vision may become compromised by overhanging skin.

Modern Surgical Techniques

Contemporary brow lift procedures have evolved significantly, replacing older surgical methods with advanced techniques. Roger Kohn, MD specializes in two primary approaches:

• Endoscopic brow suspension using skull-fixated sutures
• Upper eyelid incision techniques with periosteum attachment

Surgical Procedure and Recovery

Brow lift surgery typically involves minimal postoperative complications. Patients can expect:

• Cold compress application to manage swelling
• Prescribed antibiotic ointment
• Mild discomfort managed with non-aspirin pain relievers
• Return to regular activities within several days

Precautionary Recommendations

Patients should avoid blood-thinning medications like aspirin and ibuprofen before and after surgery to minimize potential bleeding risks.

Surgical Outcomes

Brow lift surgery offers dual benefits of enhanced aesthetic appearance and functional improvement. The procedure can effectively restore a more youthful, refreshed look while potentially improving visual field limitations.
