Understanding Brow Lift Surgery in Houston
The face is often the first area to display visible signs of aging, particularly around the eyes. Aging can cause eyebrows to droop, creating an unintentional angry or tired expression. Factors like reduced skin elasticity and gravitational effects contribute to this change. In some cases, sagging skin can even obstruct vision by causing the upper eyelids to droop.
Benefits of Brow Lift Surgery
A brow lift surgical procedure can address multiple aesthetic concerns by:
- Removing excess skin
- Raising forehead and eyebrow position
- Tightening underlying facial tissues
- Producing a more youthful, revitalized appearance
Ideal Candidates for Brow Lift
Patients considering brow lift surgery typically want to achieve one or more of the following objectives:
- Smooth forehead wrinkles
- Eliminate upper eyelid hooding
- Improve eyebrow shape and arch
- Restore facial confidence
Surgical Procedure Details
The brow lift procedure is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes less than two hours. Dr. Patronella strategically places small incisions within the hairline to minimize visible scarring. During the surgery, excess skin is removed, and drooping muscles are lifted to a more attractive, natural position and carefully sutured.
Recovery and Results
Most patients can expect a two-week healing period for incisions to close and side effects to subside. Stitches are typically removed one week post-surgery, allowing patients to return to work and normal activities. Light makeup can help conceal residual bruising and swelling.
Long-Term Outcomes
Patients experience a rejuvenated upper facial appearance that complements natural contours. With proper skincare and a healthy lifestyle, brow lift results can be maintained for 10-12 years or potentially longer.
Complementary Procedures
Dr. Patronella often recommends combining brow lift surgery with complementary procedures such as:
- Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery)
- True Form Facelift® surgery
- Neck lift surgery
- Otoplasty (ear correction surgery)
