Brow Lift: Is This The Procedure For You?

By:


Brow lifts aren't for everyone but they are often wanted by those between the ages of 40 and 70. The candidate for this procedure is someone who is healthy and desiring a positive and uplifting solution to forehead lines and furrows. Other possible candidates might include those who are younger and undergoing premature aging such as eyebrows that droop too far and lines on one's forehead.

The Brow Lift Procedure is usually done in an outpatient facility or hospital. It is important with this surgery to talk with your doctor about what kind of anesthesia you want and your selection of an anesthesiologist. However, keep in mind that it usually needs at least one local anesthesia. In addition, the patient is often in surgery for one or two hours, but once done, can go home the same day.

The brow lift can be performed two ways: the conventional-incision method or the endoscopic method where the surgeon uses an endoscope tool and where a small incision is made-smaller than the conventional method. There are advantages to the endoscope method because the incision is smaller, there is no general anesthesia, bruising is minimal, there is less scarring and healing is faster.

The cost of a brow lift varies depending on the extensiveness of the procedure. If you're having a forehead lift combined with other procedures, the combination of procedures may help reduce your final cost. The total cost of a it is approximately $5,000 to $7,000. In most cases part of the cost can be covered by insurance, especially if the procedure is in alignment with a medical need such as improved vision, better quality vision that would come from correcting droopy eyebrows. In addition, most surgeons have financial options such as monthly payments, etc.

As with every surgery, there can be complications and risks. With this procedure, the complications might be that the patient may not be able to move their foreheads or eyebrows. Also, permanent hair loss or scar formation may also occur. Bleeding and infection may also occur; however, it should be stated that according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, most endoscopic patients have fewer complications once the surgery has been completed.

So, if a brow lift sounds interesting and helpful, seek out a qualified surgeon, ask questions, look over the options available and you may find that this kind of operation will lead to a healthier and happier lifestyle.
