Browlift: Anti-Aging

As you age, the forehead often takes the brunt of your worry and concern, developing deep frown lines and grooves between the eyebrows. Smoothing the forehead can produce dramatic results, taking years off your appearance. If the lines on your forehead are fairly deep, and you would like a permanent solution, a browlift might be the answer.

What is a Browlift?

A browlift is a cosmetic surgery procedure in which the skin of the brow is lifted and tightened and any excess skin removed. The skin is then reattached, leaving a smoother, younger appearance as the lines are greatly reduced or eliminated.

The traditional browlift is performed with an incision across the scalp just behind the hairline. Loose or saggy skin is drawn back and reattached, smoothing lines and wrinkles. In some cases, laparoscopic surgery can be used for a browlift, resulting in a less invasive procedure with less serious scarring and a faster recovery time. Consult with your chosen cosmetic surgeon to determine which procedure will work best for you.

Recovery After a Browlift

The time it takes to recovery after a browlift depends on how the surgery is performed. A traditional browlift will require more recovery time than a laparoscopic browlift. Also, if you choose to have additional cosmetic procedures performed at the same time as your browlift, this will also increase your recovery time.

The first five to ten days after your surgery, you will probably experience discomfort at the surgery site as well as redness, swelling and bruising. The doctor will provide medication to alleviate pain and discomfort. You should rest for a day or two after the procedure for a quicker recovery, and be sure to follow all your doctor's after care instructions.

After the first few days, your stitches will be removed and long-term healing can begin. Full recovery, as the incisions fade, swelling decreases and your forehead settles into its new contours, can take a few months. During this time, the long-term results of your browlift will become steadily more apparent, until you are fully healed and can see the benefits of your new look.
