As we age, the muscles and skin of our forehead relax
and can cause drooping brows and frown lines. This can make a person
look angry, sad, and tired, even when they're not! A brow lift tightens
your forehead's muscles and tissues to give you a smoother forehead,
raised eyebrows, and less frown lines. The incision(s) are typically
hidden in the hair, so there are no visible scars. The results are
often dramatic and can take many years off your facial appearance.
Good surgeons like Dr. Yamini and Dr. Svehlak use restraint to avoid
the "perpetually surpised" look.
Typical Recovery Time: The first few days after surgery
require ample rest. Numbness and discomfort are common symptoms
in the regions near the incision. You should be able to wash your
hair right away if you wish. It is a good idea to keep your head
elevated while sleeping. Most patients resume recreational activities
in a month and work activity in a week.
