Brow Lift

Dr. Bermudez has extensive experience eliminating wrinkles and fine lines in the forehead through brow lift surgery, also known as forehead lift. Furrows and frown lines that form with age can have an effect on the entire facial aesthetic, often giving the face an older, more haggard appearance. A brow lift works to reverse these effects by removing excess tissue and muscle that can cause the brow to sag.

Brow Lift Procedure

Brow lift is performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia and requires one to two hours to complete. During the brow lift procedure, Dr. Kenneth Bermudez makes a discreet incision above the hairline. He then removes excess fat and skin, and tightens the muscles and remaining skin. This results in a smooth forehead with significantly fewer signs of aging. Because incisions are made behind the hairline, there should be little to no visible scarring.

Brow Lift Recovery

After brow lift surgery, you will be asked to keep your head elevated for several days to minimize swelling. You may experience some numbness and discomfort, which can be reduced with pain medication provided by Dr. Kenneth Bermudez. Most of the swelling and bruising associated with brow lift should subside within the first week. Surgical bandages are usually removed during your first follow-up appointment with Dr. Bermudez. Stitches are removed within the first two weeks, at which time the results become more visible.

Brow Lift Risks

Brow lift surgery is a relatively complication-free procedure when performed by an experienced plastic surgeon. Although extremely rare, the following complication risks have been observed:

• Temporary lack of sensation

• Scar formation

• Permanent hair loss around the treatment area

• Excessive bleeding

• Infection

According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, brow lift complications occur in less than 1 percent of patients. Dr. Bermudez will cover all of the risks associated with brow lift surgery in great detail during your consultation appointment.

Brow Lift Benefits

Brow lift surgery is an advanced facial rejuvenation procedure that can be used to significantly improve facial appearance and reduce nagging signs of aging. Some of the benefits of brow lift surgery are:

• Reduced visibility of facial aging

• Improvement of forehead wrinkles and lines

• Reduced visibility of unwanted furrows

• Correction of droopy eyebrows

• An overall refreshed and youthful facial appearance

• Improved self-confidence

While brow lift can deliver amazing facial rejuvenation results, sometimes even better results can be achieved by combining brow lift with other facial treatments. For example, many of Dr. Bermudez’s forehead lift patients undergo brow lift in conjunction with eyelid surgery. This procedure combination addresses the signs of aging in the upper face, making the eyes appear brighter and the face more relaxed. Another procedure that can be performed in conjunction with brow lift is the placement of facial implants in the cheeks or chin. In addition, many individuals who desire to address the signs of aging in the lower face become neck lift or facelift San Francisco patients.
