How is a brow lift performed?

For patients considering this procedure, it's helpful to understand how a brow lift is performed. The most common brow lift techniques are the open brow lift, limited incision brow lift, and endoscopic brow lift. Dr. Brissett will choose a suitable approach based on your specific goals and individual facial features. Once the incisions are made, the doctor will remove any excess skin, then smooth and reposition the muscles and soft tissue to reduce wrinkles and lines, elevating the eyebrows to a more youthful and balanced position.

What can you expect during recovery?

Recovery from brow lift surgery varies, depending on the specific technique used. Here's what a typical recovery timeline might look like:

• Initial rest period: Take 1 – 2 weeks off work and daily activities as your body heals.
• Mild discomfort and swelling: Bruising, tightness, and mild swelling are common but generally subside within a few weeks.
• Aftercare support: Dr. Brissett will provide detailed instructions to ensure proper healing and schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress.
• Final results over time: Many patients notice improvements almost immediately, but full results become more apparent over several months as the remaining swelling resolves.
