Forehead Lift San Antonio, TX | Ayala Plastic Surgery - John Ayala, MD

Understanding Brow Lift Surgery in San Antonio

A brow lift can help patients look more energetic and refreshed by rejuvenating drooping brows and tightening excess skin in the upper face. The forehead and eyebrow region often exhibits clear signs of aging, such as skin laxity, brow furrows, and pronounced frown lines. Brow lift surgery, alternatively called a forehead lift, can strategically tighten and reposition the skin, fat, and musculature of the brow region for a more youthful appearance.

Brow Lift Procedure Options

Ayala Plastic Surgery offers two primary brow lift techniques:

• Traditional Forehead Lift: Involves an ear-to-ear incision across the hairline
• Endoscopic Brow Lift: Utilizes smaller, strategically placed scalp incisions

Endoscopic Brow Lift: Advanced Surgical Technique

The endoscopic brow lift represents a modern approach to forehead surgery, typically resulting in less discomfort and reduced recovery time. This technique uses a specialized endoscope—a thin tube with an attached video camera—allowing Dr. Ayala to precisely view and reposition underlying tissues through minimal incisions.

Key Benefits of Endoscopic Technique

• Smaller surgical incisions
• Reduced scarring potential
• Shorter recovery period
• Precise tissue manipulation

Recovery and Expectations

Following a brow lift procedure, patients can expect mild swelling and bruising in the upper facial region. These symptoms typically subside within a few weeks. Most patients resume normal activities within one to two weeks, depending on their personalized treatment plan.
